Here are a couple of items from the Java gaming front:
Version 0.92 of Project Darkstar has been released. If you’ve never heard of it, check it out.
Kevin Glass has finally put together the first release of his 2D library, Slick. This library really is a slick piece of work. It’s a 2D game library built on top of LWJGL (meaning it uses OpenGL for rendering and OpenAL for Audio). It has quite a nice set of features already. He’s been working on it for a while. I toyed around with it a while back and my first impression was good. It’s well designed and easy to get up and running with. If I were planning a 2D Java game right now, I wouldn’t hesitate to use it even though it’s labeled 0.1.
