quaderworld's Issues

Find an interesting project

Up to this point, we've discussed multiple points that could be taken as our project:

• quaderworld 2.0 (based on the old code or from scratch)
• some other game
• an existing game to build an AI for it
• creating a new game and build an AI for it
  We should add additional suggestions to this issue to get an overview about our options.

Find a graphic library suitable for the project

Some options:

• Swing
• JavaFX
• libgdx
• lwjgl
• Slick2D

I prefer Swing over JavaFX, because JavaFX handles too many things for me and annoys me with its magic.
lwjgl is raw OpenGL. Quite fun if one wants to build everything, but implementing your own text drawing (OpenGL doesn't support it) is propably a little bit too much fun.

libgdx supports the most platforms (desktop, android, html and iOS), has many libraries (for physic and stuff) and is quite usable, but the setup is... special.

Slick2D is like lwjgl without the OpenGL pain.

I will take a look at libgdx. Getting android for free is still a good argument.
