Java OpenGL engine and terrain demonstration

As a hobby I'm building simple computer games and thought it would be fun to use Java OpenGL (JOGL) as library. This is one of the most basic forms to develop games, which is quite a learning experience.

The final goal is to produce a sort of (free to play) survival game where the player has to defend an object, while waves of enemies are spawning. It will be combined with a little Serrious Sam style madness because it is awesome!

The engine contains:
- Terrain generator
- Day/night cycle
- Performance optimizations like culling, mipmapping and disabling objects that are out of the view range

To do:
- Add decoration to the level like tree's, grass and etc
- Add game components like enemies, AI and etc
- More optimizations

If the game is done, it will be free to play.

The 500 to 600 fps is reached with the following system specs:
Intel I7 3610QM
nVidia GeForce 650 mobile
6GB DDR 3 running at 1333MHz
256GB OCZ Vertex 4 ssd

Is webGL niet handiger en veel sneller?

WebGL is een mooie oplossing maar wordt helaas niet door elke browser goed ondersteund. Daarnaast is het met veel instanties een stuk trager dan Java met OpenGL. Het voordeel van deze oplossing is dat het eventueel ook in de browser te spelen is en door elke browser universeel wordt ondersteund.
