LWJGL - The Lightweight Java Game Library Version 3.3 Released

 After more than two years, the long-awaited release of this open source library is finally here, and with a lot to offer.


Per the the project's official definition , LWJGL is:


a Java library that enables cross-platform access to popular native APIs useful in the development of graphics (OpenGL/Vulkan) , audio (OpenAL) and parallel computing (OpenCL) applications.


The part to note in this definition is that LWJGL provides access to native APIs through Java. That it is a wrapper over the APIs doesn't mean that you should not be familiar with the semantics of the underlying API. Hence to get the most out of LWJGL a good understanding of the native APIs is essential too.
