New OpenSourced Tiny Java Graphics Library (ME,SE

Java on Mobile Devices J2ME
#1

Hi to All!

I’m developing since a couple of months a Java Tiny Gfx Library (JTGL).

It is a graphic foundation framework to provide a common view of a graphics/gaming subsystem over already deployed public java apis such as AWT/Java2D/J2ME/MIDPv1&v2 and propietary mobile: ExEn, DoJa,Nokia,Siemens,Motorola,etc…

he library is (or will focus on) a thin glue/wrapper over a known api (eg: awt/midp), to merge in its own graphics api (eg: thereis a JTGLGraphics class) where all core classes provides a basic platform agnostic launching code that provides:

  • Graphics: primitives,color,image
  • A lighweight extension framework (eg: media,devices,etc)
  • An input framework (eg: mouse,keyboard)
  • Specific implementations ready for AWT,MIDP (Siemens,Nokia,etc.) and of course expandable by extending the core platform.
  • An initial Gaming API (Surfaces,TiledMaps,Sprites)

There is a lot to do, so developers and artists are much appreciated to join in.

It is licensed under the GNU General Public License
and hosted on SourceForge.net.

Download it from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jtgl/JTGL_v0.5b.zip?download

Thanks in advance!

I’m a J2ME newbie … downloaded your stuff and tried to push it to my SonyErr. T610.

After sending the jar, the device complains about an ‘Illegal Application’.

What can I do against that?

BTW, I succeeded this way when fooling around with things from the WTK for NetBeans…

Well i test it with another T610 and no problems at all. After all is a first beta release so you don´t spect to much in demos, just understand the code and idea behind this proyect. :wink:

BTW in a couple of days i will release the next pack, with more meat and a “micro” development tree, optimized for size and targets (MIDP mainly) so library is cut down to half size while preserving main core and util packages around.

I’d like to hear from users like you… what you need from a graphic/gaming library… :wink:

CHeers!
