Change scope of article[edit]

The article has the scope of "WikiProject Computer graphics", when it's equally about computer graphics, audio and programming. Perhaps change it to something more suiting?

Origin of the logo[edit]

I believe that is should be noted that the logo, which looks similar to a T-tetromino, it looks more to be the staggered position of the WASD (or ZQSD) keys commonly used to play computer games. The reasons I haven't added this information is because I do not know if it actually belongs in the article, as well as do not know where it should go. (Perhaps as a caption under the image?)

EDIT: Forgot to sign... Bladeavuari (talk) 19:40, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're probably right, and I'd agree with you, but since the article doesn't make any description of the logo or claim any origins, probably unimportant. -- ferret (talk) 19:48, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Information that should be added[edit]

I believe someone should add the fact that most of the information about LWJGL is stored on a wiki engine on their website, and that the source code contains a space-invaders port for programmers to use as a tutorial for LWJGL. It should also be listed that the API doesn't provide any image wrappers. ( I made this section to organize thoughts.) Bladeavuari (talk) 17:14, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 10 December 2023[edit]

Lightweight Java Game Library → LWJGL – Per WP:COMMONNAME. Nobody really calls it "Lightweight Java Game Library". alexia a 09:54, 10 December 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 14:39, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose "Nobody" besides the official developers, I guess. I should add, though, that this article has zero evidence of notability. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:07, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per ngrams and WP:NCACRO. We don't care about what the official devs use, we care about reliable sources (and even if we take the devs into account, they seem to use the abbreviated name much, much more). — mw (talk) (contribs) 12:40, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
