Java is used in game development mainly because of the following reasons. But what other benefits does Java offer game developers? Its compatibility, versatility and scalability make Java the go-to language for most programmers.

But can it be used for game development? Read on to know. It is being used in applets, complete applications and web pages. To all the readers that have contributed with corrections, improvements and ideas.Java is amongst the most popular programming languages today.

The source code of the samples of this book are in GitHub. I started to collect some materials, develop some examples and decided to organize that information in the form of a book. All the information required was there in the internet but it was not organized and sometimes it was very hard to find and even incomplete or misleading. My initial goal was to learn the techniques involved in writing a 3D game using OpenGL.

LWJGL is a Java library that provides access to native APIs used in the development of graphics (OpenGL), audio (OpenAL) and parallel computing (OpenCL) applications.This library leverages the high performance of native OpenGL applications while using the Java language. This online book will introduce the main concepts required to write a 3D game using the LWJGL 3 library.
