Hello,

I want to load images into my Java Game with LWJGL but I don't want to use Slick2D. Is this at all possible?

Thanks.

Does the 2nd example from the following website accomplish this?:
embeddednode: Textures in LWJGL 2

Specifically, the "Solution in AWT."


What prevents you from using Slick2D?

I just don't want to use an entirely library for loading images if I can help it. And I was convinced that LWJGL must have some method or given function for it anyway.

Also, whats with the loops like these?:

for(int i=0x00000000; i<img.data.length; i+=0x00000003) {
temp = src.data[i];
src.data[i] = src.data[i+0x00000002];
src.data[i+0x00000002] = temp;
}

Why all of the 0x00000000 st

Also, I don't know if I should know this by now or something, but why specifically AWT? I apologise if that's a dumb question.

I'm not sure why the loops are programmed like this. It looks to be the equivalent of:

for(int i=0; i<img.data.length; i+=3) {

temp = src.data[i];

src.data[i] = src.data[i+2];

src.data[i+2] = temp;

}

The AWT contains 2 classes that are used to store the image data from the disk into the JVM memory, and then transfer the data into a ByteBuffer.

Well you can load an image using the normal Java API by just doing

ImageIcon ic = new ImageIcon(path);

Image i = ic.getImage();

where path = the path to your image...

Is the AWT not considered part of the "normal" Java API?
Does ImageIcon provide the necessary information for LWJGL to map textures to polygons?
