Are java games like minecraft for example, on a java JFrame? for example. when you are playing minecraft building your house, are you doing that and seeing that on a JFrame or are there other ways to display your program in java?

Minecraft was written using this library: https://www.lwjgl.org/
novel hare
its not a jframe that's for sure
frail helm
when i am playing on minecraft as i said, (I AM USING MINECRAFT JUST AS AN EXAMPLE) and when i am building my house, is the window i am playing in a jframe? if not, what is it? how do i create a window to display MY minecraft game? (how to create a window with anything other than JFrame)
novel hare
lwjgl is a library that enables you to work with openGl in the context of java. As far as I know Lwjgl uses GLFW (Graphics Library Framework) which is a simple utility library that allows you to create windows with OpenGL.
frail helm
Translate that into fucking english please

- follow the link 2. use google
frail helm
1. follow the link 2. use google
Tf google will have my same reaction
stuck kernel

Actually
frail helm
so
stuck kernel
I don't know if newer versions of Minecraft as an example still use AWT for window, but the older versions used Frame and Canvas
Both are AWT APIs
and Applet for the browser/offline client portion
stuck kernel
and the Applet was crucial for actually launching the stupid thing in a 3rd party client unless you modified the obfuscated source to use the non-Applet client
stuck kernel
The same example could apply to legacy RuneScape. Not only did they not use LWJGL or any other library in their early days, but they also used Canvas and Frame.
stuck kernel
so can yall just fucking answer me?
Curb your profanity if you want help
frail helm
for example i am building my house on minecraft, what is that window i am using to play the game and where it is displayed?
stuck kernel
yes...?
frail helm
BUT MINECRAFT ISN'T MADE IN A JFRAME
frail helm
k
stuck kernel
Which is AWT
frail helm
and what does the new version use?
frail helm
stuck kernel
I'm assuming the ones using LWJGL3 are probably not using Swing for their window
and use LWJGL's own
but they may also still be using Frame or JFrame
and just have LWJGL's window creation within the JFrame
which is something I would do
and did
frail helm
so are games made in JPanel?
stuck kernel
No
stuck kernel
JPanel is where you often times draw basic things on
LWJGL used native OpenGL bindings (literally in the name) for drawing things
frail helm
is LWJGL like a game engine (I KNOW IT IS NOT A GAME ENGINE BUT FOLLOW WHAT I SAY) but like, it just gives you a window to see your game?
stuck kernel
No
frail helm
like, is LWJGL like a window to display your program?
stuck kernel
It's a Java wrapper around OpenGL bindings
frail helm
hold on
i got it
lemme send you a screenshot
HOW TF DO I DO THIS IN JAVA? A WINDOW TO DISPLAY MY GAME? (it is not a JFrame then WHAT IS IT)
stuck kernel
Where is this from?
stuck kernel
Can you stop swearing for two seconds?
stuck kernel
No, just stop unless absolutely necessary. I can refuse to help if you keep that going
stuck kernel
I know LWJGL2 had its own Display class for doing a display
Not sure if that was actually for window or not as I have only touched LWJGL3
stuck kernel
oh, in LWJGL3, you don't even need JFrame
You can simply use the native OpenGL bindings to create your own Window class
if that's what you're wanting, that's the answer.
it's either a custom Window class or Swing (nobody uses AWT unless super legacy LWJGL code)
frail helm
so OpenGL gives me a window/possibility to create a personalized class to create a window to display my code?
stuck kernel
display...code?
frail helm
display your program
stuck kernel
you want to display code strings?
frail helm
your game
stuck kernel
yes
frail helm
so OpenGL gives me a window/possibility to create a personalized class to create...
so if i just install this OpenGL thing i can have a window to display my game?
stuck kernel
Yes?
stuck kernel
you know 90% of your questions are answered on Google already
And there are plenty of GitHub repos for your questions
frail helm
i don't mean that's how they are made, but the window where i see the game is an OPENGL window?
frail helm
And there are plenty of GitHub repos for your questions
Send me a link
stuck kernel
GitHub search is your best friend.
frail helm
GitHub search is your best friend.
OK
yes
fuck
i found it
ops
sorry for swearing again
really
sorry
but yes, opengl gives me that window to display my game?
Y/N?
stuck kernel
You got your answer already.
frail helm
just Y/N?

I'm going to mark it as a duplicate.

You can do it with a jframe, its just thats not what Minecraft uses

You can do it with a jframe, its just thats not what Minecraft uses
THEN WHAT THE FUCK DOES MINECRAFT USEE HAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HELPPPPPPPPOPPO
PLEASE
WE GOT 120 MESSAGES IN THIS THREAD AND NO ONE ANSWERED

PLEASEEEEE
BRO
SEARIOUSLY
stuck kernel
WE GOT 120 MESSAGES IN THIS THREAD AND NO ONE ANSWERED
both @stuck kernel and @novel hare gave you the answer
frail helm
both <@456226577798135808> and <@463054764314198034> gave you the answer
PLS
I DIDN'T SEE IT
TELL ME
stuck kernel
It's a Java wrapper around OpenGL bindings
LWJGL
frail helm
so lwjgl gives you a window to display your game?
stuck kernel
I don't think you're cut for this
stuck kernel
I marked your question as a duplicate
frail helm
you basically just told me "fuck you" and ghosted me
stuck kernel
no.

Learn to scroll up.

WHERE IS THE MESSAGE

or use Discord search function

@stuck kernel troll?

<@456226577798135808> troll?
Probably
frail helm
It's a Java wrapper around OpenGL bindings
and then you answered this
IT'S NOT A FUCKING ANSWER
I AM NOT TROLLING
IT'S YOU THAT GOTTA LEARN TO SAY "YES" OR NO
PLS
YOU DIDN'T ANSWER ME
frail helm
I TRIED
frail helm
Curb your yelling, my guy
sorry
stuck kernel
that's not how getting help works
like I said, I provided you with multiple answers to your multiple questions
frail helm
OK
YES
I FOUND THE ANSWE

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT YOU SUCK AT ANSWERING ANY QUESTION IN GENERAL
the helper roles are better
stuck kernel
I swear you're a troll
Can you make a frame with OpenGL
Just like any other object in OpenGL we can create a framebuffer object (abbreviated to FBO) by using a function called glGenFramebuffers : unsigned int fbo; glGenFramebuffers (1, &fbo);
because LWJGL is just a java wrapper around OpenGL, yes it would be used to make the “frame”
frail helm
I swear you're a troll
I AM NOT
stuck kernel
Can you make a frame with OpenGL
> Just like any other object in OpenGL we can ...
I already told them that you can either create your own Window class or use a JFrame for your needs
And that a game like Minecraft used to use Frame and Canvas to do the basic window
frail helm
is LWJGL a JAVA library?
stuck kernel
"Lightweight Java Game Library"
literally in the name
Lmfao
Yeah this guy is a troll
This can't be real
frail helm
"Lightweight Java Game Library"
