Concentrate on the Logic and Effects; Leave the Heavy Lifting to the Graphic Artists
The Production Suite is a powerful though not well known feature of JavaFX, one that enables gaming designers to concentrate on the logic and effects of their game while leaving the complexities of the design to the expert graphic artists. The Production Suite, writes software architect Jim Connell, delivers a JavaFX UI design tool that he demonstrates in creating a simple dice game using an elegant UI produced by a real designer. "Accomplishing a design like this in pure JavaFX would be almost unthinkable. Using the Production Suite though, this task becomes not only possible, but almost trivia," Connell writes.
