    I'd like to start making my own Games with Java and I'd like to know what game engine Notch is using. Did he make one himself? Rollback Post to Revision RollBack

    I'm not super familiar with LWJGL. From what I gather it's just a collection of libraries? (OpenGL, OpenAL, etc..) It seems like you could just use OpenGL + SDL and cover most of your bases, but whatever.

    Lwjgl breaks Java's inherent cross compatibility somewhat though. Obviously if this isn't something you're concerned about then go ahead and use it. But if you're intending to have an audience of Mac, Linux and Windows users, then be prepared to be patching for each OS. Rollback Post to Revision RollBack

    Quote from FreeLifeXtreme Isn't there a way of making games without having to code? Just model and tell the computer what you want it to do! Like a 3d version of scratch!
    What like gamemaker? Yeah you can but someone would have to have coded the GUI before hand and then the games your able to make wouldn't be as good and probably wouldn't be able to sell/distribute them. Rollback Post to Revision RollBack

    We can do that, it's called programming or codeing. Rollback Post to Revision RollBack

    Which is why the game and its components run on Javascript platform. Its not JavaScript it is Java They Are two completely different languages. JavaScript - Intrepted Java - Just In Time Compilation (JIT) With Loads More Language Features And A Huge Library And LWJGL Is A Binding For OpenGL A Cross Platform Low Level Libary For Rendering Meaning Inherently Notch Wrote The (Engine) Since An Game Engine Us Usually Is A High Level Platform (Or Library) For IO,Sound,Model Loading, And Animation... LWJGL Is Not An Engine Rollback Post to Revision RollBack
