Can someone please tell me what is wrong with my code becuase this is for unvieristy project and the code seems to work on other students computer but not mine. Is this a driver problem? Is it the fact that i use virtual box? please help…
thank you
Virtual PCs are not very well supported by lwjgl as they mostly do not allow proper access to all OpenGL functions of the graphics card.
Thanks for the advice. the reason why i do it in virtual pc is because i keep my development work away from my pc by having a virtual box. but will give it a try now now and see how it goes. Thank for the reply bro
I use VMWare workstation without any problems (I actually run 2/3 copies of my game on the same computer, each in one virtual windows XP). If you have money and want to get a good virtual env, that’s worth it. If not, well, you can still get it for free 
If you work linux based, take a look at kvm, if you have a secondary graficcard, you can forward the whole peg slot to the guest, and use a onboard graficcard for the host.
Best solution possible in terms of performance.
I actually tried it on my host and it works like a charm!.. Thanks for the answers guy. I will be asking more question as i am making a game using jMonkey game engine for my final year project at university.
