Hi,
I am new to Java Monkey Engine and have spent some time reading up the docs. I understand that StandardGame is the recommended way of doing games, with its use of game states. However, as I am just trying do something simple first, so I am thinking of using BaseGame with GameStateManager.
Are there any tutorials on this? Have anyone tried it; if so, what are the pitfalls and stuff that I have to be aware of?
Thanks in advance!
Maybe StandardGame should be renamed to MultithreadedGame, since it has quite a few pitfalls 
If you implement your own BaseGame you just need to make sure to create a GameStateManager instance and update/render it in your BaseGames update/render Methods.
To initialize the display and Input etc. you can just look into SimpleGame and copy what you need.
u really cant get anything wrong if u r using base game + game states.
each game state basically maintains its own scene graph, so there isnt any difference from a plain base game implementation.
however, using standard game may cause problems since alot of the gl calls dont allow multithreading.
