People don’t usually think of Java when they think of video games. Tools include Java 3D and VolatileImage. As games get larger and more complex, Java’s ability to manage large complex applications makes it a more and more viable choice. JOAL (Java bindings for OpenAL) is one of the tools for writing games in Java.
Though I am not a religious person, I think it a reasonable thing to say that most video games are a work of the devil. Games like Grand Theft Auto and Doom teach people to kill, rape and steal reflexively without conscience. They are insidious training for mindless obedience to a military state. The US Army is writing video games to recruit youngsters and desensitise them to killing.
My mother was highly opposed to card games and board games. There were just too many important things to do to waste time with them. I feel the same way about computer games. The only games that were permissible were party games, played at Christmas and similar occasions to make the guests laugh.
The simulation games are a completely different kettle of fish. They teach people to think ahead about the consequences of their actions. The athletic Wii games too are in another category, great fun and get kids off their saggy butts.
Video games are an especially challenging form of computer programming. You must use your limited resources very efficiently to manage to create realistic and a rapidly and smoothly changing screen especially when the target hardware is something you hold in your hand. Video games have driven the evolution of high-performance video cards.
