lwjgl: Shaders
A minimal shader-based library for 2D LWJGL sprite games, providing utilities for textures, shaders, and rendering.
What is lwjgl: Shaders?
lwjgl-basics is a minimal Java library for building 2D sprite-based games using LWJGL and OpenGL shaders. It provides essential utilities for texture loading, shader management, and sprite rendering, simplifying the development of lightweight 2D games without the complexity of larger game engines.
Java developers and hobbyists creating simple 2D games who want direct control over OpenGL rendering without the overhead of full game engines like LibGDX.
It offers a lightweight, shader-focused alternative to heavier frameworks, giving developers fine-grained control over graphics while reducing boilerplate code for common 2D game tasks.
