Hey guys,
I am making a complete game engine kinda similar to LWJGL(but not nearly as complete or complex) and what not. Only this is almost a one-man project (friends help sometimes).
Currently I have some nifty stuff which works really well, and code is not as bad as it could be. My engine is only supposed to support 2d-graphics, and it does that in an easy way.
I am working on the sound package now, and it is coming along quite good actually. But there are mine flaws and neglects. It is very easy to use, and the sound is played very well through JOAL.
What I would like to know is if anyone is interested in working on the sound-package with me, or even the entire engine? If so, I will post the current work (and hope someone can host a repository, because I have little to no experience hosting repos).
So if you are interested in sound, namely wav and ogg through java, and feel the need to help a fun and small 2d game engine, post now!
c ya

Here’s a code teaser, to show you how easy the engine works(just off my mind, I dont have the code close right now):
...
//These two lines load and play a sound
Sound sound_bark = new Sound("bark.wav",true); //new Sound(String path,boolean isSFX)
sound_bark.play(1.0f,2.0f); //play(float volume, float pitch);
...
And loading+drawing a sprite from a spritesheet:
SpriteBuffer spriteBuffer = new SpriteBuffer("MainCharacter.png",4,4,128); //SpriteBuffer(String path,int rows,int cols,int dimension)
//optional gl.glPushMatrix();
//optional gl.glTranslated(pos.getX(),pos.getY());
spriteBuffer.drawWithBind(x,y); //drawWithBind(int rowIndex, int colIndex) represents the index of the frame in our spritesheet
//optional gl.glPopMatrix();
