__NOTOC__
Slick2D is an easy to use set of tools and utilities wrapped around LWJGL OpenGL bindings to make 2D Java game development easier.

Slick2D includes support for images, animations, particles, sounds, music and much much more. Additionally there are many community based projects that add additional functionality such as entity support, theme-able widgets and box2d wrappers.

With an active forum and new features in development Slick2D is a great choice for your 2D java game!

Basic Setup

2013-06-21T13:24:55Z

Shpitzick:

1.Download Slick2D from [http://slick.ninjacave.com/slick.zip here] and LWJGL from [http://lwjgl.org/download.php here]. 
2.Create a library in your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_development_environment IDE], call it however you want! 
3.Include slick.jar (under the ''lib'' folder inside the slick.zip file), lwjgl.jar (under the ''jar'' folder inside the lwjgl.zip file) and lwjgl-util (again, under the ''jar'' folder inside the lwjgl.zip file). 
4.Create a new project in your IDE and add the library you created. 
5.Extract the ''native'' folder from the lwjgl.zip file. 
6.Go to your project properties (yeah, the one you created with me) and add the natives path. But how? 

=== Adding natives in NetBeans ===
#Right click your project -> properties.
#Select the ''run'' category.
#Enter the following into VMOptions: -Djava.library.path='''<lwjgl-X.X path>'''/native/'''<linux|macosx|solaris|windows>''' (complete needed).
#Cheer.

7.Now we'll try running a very simple game! The point of the game will be checking if our setup succeeded! 
Create a main class includes the following:
<pre>
package simpleslickgame;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
