jMe3GL2 - [jMonkeyEngine3 Graphics Library 2D]

jMe3GL2 is a set of classes that can be used to develop a 2D game in jMonkeyEngine3. It is a mapping library for jME3 to Dyn4J.

To use jMe3GL2, prior knowledge of how the jME3 graphics engine works, as well as the Dyn4J physics engine, is required to create wonderful 2D worlds.

Some features provided by this library:

1. Creation of 2D models using a Sprite mesh.
2. Integration of the Dyn4J engine through Dyn4jAppState.
3. A convert class that acts as a bridge between jME3 and Dyn4J.
4. Controls for applying physics and animations: AbstractAnimatedControl, BodyControl.
