Minecraft runs on this. Minecraft players have been updating the in-jar version of LWJGL with the latest upstream libraries for years.


I used this for a course project 5 years ago back in college. Had a fun run with it. Glad to see it's still under development and got a new homepage.


Hah, same here 9 or 10 years ago. University of Kansas recommended it for their intro to software engineering class (I think) game project. My project team created a shitty RTS that used pirated starcraft sprites. All I remember was that implementing that fog of war was a CPU hog.


Not sure if it has support for shaders but fog of war seems like an easy thing to parallelise with textures and whatnot
