[FreeWRL-develop] Update on book

[Dave J. <dav...@go...>]

Today they finally delivered my copy of Pro Android games. I have not
yet read every line (still busy setting up my new machine), but the
following was encouraging:

The author shows how to set up the OpenGL context in Java and then all
the actual opengl is done in C apart from the buffer switch

He shows the techniques required to glue two non-trivial C
applications (namely Wolfenstein 3D and Doom) to a Java front-end by
breaking the original into four primary pieces:
Java initialisation, event loop and IO
Java glue layer (Java Native interfaces)
C glue layer
Original C code, repackaged as a library (and in turn only dependent
on OpenGL-ES)

The main problem I forsee is the lack of libraries we have grown
dependent on. More contemplation required.
