Hello Community

I want to ask you how strong is Processing at performance. Is it possible to write a 3D Game like Need for Speed 2 for example? Im writing currently a 2D game and im thinking of changing the engine because i dont want that my game laggs in the end.

How strong is Processing? And by the way i read that i could integrate OpenGL to Processing. Does it work better with OpenGL?

Thank you!

Hi,

Processing, because it is built on top of Java, will never be as fast as some other languages (particularly C-based ones).

That being said, there are plenty of advanced, stable, and fast 2D and 3D games out there that are built in/on Java.

Processing is also likely one of the easiest frameworks to work in, and has a great community, as you can see here.

There are a few libraries that you can find on the Forum that help with game construction, though nothing quite as large as something like PyGame, for example.

And yes, OpenGL helps a lot. As does the excellent speed increases Ben, Casey, Andres and co. are making with 2.0 ...
