J2DA! means Java2D Abstraction Layer. It's an abstraction Layer specially created for Java 2D Games. Java2D is (at the moment) not very fast. Some parts of drawing aren't accelerated.
A solution to get accelerated transforms and faster drawing is to use OpenGL. There are a few Java-OpenGL bindings out there (JOGL, LWJGL ...). But you have to learn at least a little bit OpenGL to get it running. With this Library you can use OpenGL or Java2D without even thinking about it.
Yes, we provide both solutions. Java2D and OpenGL. Why ?
- Because Sun noticed that drawing Speed is important, they are speeding up the Java2D engine. We don't want to end using OpenGL when a faster alternative exists.
- Simply because it's fun
As I am writing this, J2DA! supports drawing of 2D Objects like
- Rectangles,
- Lines,
- Sprites,
- Text,
- Buttons,
- Inputfields
There are no Tutorials yet, but the Source is heavily documented and 2 Examples in the release should show you how to use it.
