Monkey Testimonials
@s4milli4 - http://bit.ly/fzSPSVYou guys are making a great job. I’m learning jME for two days and the tutorials are very clear and exhaustive unlike some other physics engine projects I have tested.
@lwsquad - http://bit.ly/gIya2uThe work you all put out is great, and I hope one day I’ll be able to contribute some more useful stuff for the amazing environment the development team here has freely prepared for us all to enjoy
@truman - http://bit.ly/e68XWwI can confirm that jME3 gives great satisfaction, thank you!
@destroflyer - http://bit.ly/hyNz2HYou guys just did an incredible job – I’m used to many frameworks, but nothing and really NOTHING can reach this level of perfection.
Great job again! I’m happy that I could help a little bit to improve jMonkeyEngine.
David - http://jmonkeyengine.org/2011/03/13/jmonkeyengine3-sdk-alpha-4-released/#comment-1020I have never really been a big fan of Java but you guys went all out.
I am really impressed. So much so that I am actually really excited to start making Java Applets with this software.
You guys are freaking awesome. Makes me glad that I took Java classes.
bgilb - http://jmonkeyengine.org/groups/site-project/forum/topic/to-jme3-team/Was playing around with jme3 and the SDK and wanted to just say you guys are doing a great job.
I even prefer it over XNA even though that has the full backing of Microsoft.
"carpentier.ch" - http://jmonkeyengine.org/groups/general/forum/topic/just-to-thank-you/#post-177253The StateManager and Custom meshes are just amazing, easy to use AND fully featured.
The use of Java is also a good choice for Java lovers like me, even if there is performance trade-offs when compared to C++; but the code needed to perform a given task is at least ten times more concise.
