need senior lwjgl dev to polish up some my project (~5 classes)

Business and Project Management Discussions Jobs and Resumes

I really want to stop using immediate mode and create the best application possible - something I can be proud to devote all of my free evenings into instead of thinking to myself: “this isn’t a good enough foundation for the long term”. Unfortunately I have not had successful results attempting to convert my map data to VBO, and with my main job being busy again I simply have no desire to spend my virtually non existent free time playing around with trial and error anymore…
That said, I’m looking to recruit a part time lwjgl developers to help me convert a ~5 class application to use VBO, support ray casting / collision, and implement a couple shaders to smooth the visuals and create a more aesthetic foundation in which I can build on top of.

I created a little 2D tool for my game which I use to produce static map data.

My foundation is nice and clean but this is about as far as I can take it unless I quit my job :stuck_out_tongue:

I will pay a set price for all of the requests I have, or a set price per job. I don’t really care, as long as it is done in a reasonable time frame so that I can develop content using the optimized foundation :point:

Sounds like you’d be better off using LibGDX.

#3

Most definitely, but I’m stubborn and using “just lwjgl” would make me very happy. I’ve used jPCT for a few years and produced a handful of projects with great results but now I’m trying to mitigate the use of lwjgl wrappers.
If the foundation was there I could easily tackle the game mechanics and multiplayer protocol.

…but aren’t you effectively paying someone to write a wrapper for you?

#5

You’re “trying to mitigate the use of lwjgl wrappers” and at the same time can’t be bothered interfacing with LWJGL directly and want someone to write a wrapper for you.

Either use libraries or don’t use libraries.

#6

Personally I didn’t consider a few functions and optimizations to be a wrapper, but I get it… I’m going to try out LibGDX although I would still prefer using “just LWJGL”. I know it’s not logical to want to use LWJGL without a proper understanding of some more advanced things, but I feel like I could learn more by not using full blown libraries.
As I stated previously I’ve developed a handful of games using jPCT and has great results. Multiplayer / game mechanics are what I’m best with, but using lwjgl.jar to construct a sufficient client foundation with decent mouse utilities is beyond my current understanding. :-\

Anyways, yes I’m trying out libgdx, but the offer still stands for anybody who would want to make some paypal cash by implementing a few things into my LWJGL “game”

#7

believe me , its not a few functions , it ends up being a few classes if not more. If you would like some help with this such as wrapper functions that you can then implement I will gladly provide some minor framework but I would move to a PM for info on this if you really would like my services :persecutioncomplex:.

#8

Perfect timing for a reply I just got paid last night :wink: Would you mind contacting me via Skype for quicker chat? name is sandbox.morpg and the display name is Minigame

#9

You do not learn more. You learn different things.
It’s either low level graphics stuff or the complete stack required to make a game. So actually, you could say you learn more using full blown libraries.

#10

At this point I don’t care if somebody writes a couple helper classes for me or an entire wrapper. I just want what I want, and time is limited so it’s easier to pay.
