New OpenSourced Tiny Java Graphics Library

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. :slight_smile:
