A lightning bolt test using Slick2D, OpenGL, and LWJGL libraries, using algorithms influenced by a blog post by Drillian's House of Game Developement (http://drilian.com/2009/02/25/lightning-bolts/). Sometimes I just want to develop a simple idea, and maybe it will have a purpose later, and I usually learn something.

- Java vers 1.7+
- Gradle vers 2.0+ (for installation help go to
- Slick2D Libraries (downloaded automatically with git clone)
- LWJGL Libraries and natives (included in Slick2D download)
- OpenGL compatible graphics (you probably have this)

git clone ... - Navigate into the project's root directory and build using
gradle build
To run, from the project's root directory, use the command gradle run
I would love for other people to contribute to this and see what kind of cool lightning effects we could get going. Fork this, or make a pull request. :)
This is purely an experimental test to play with ways of creating lightning effects for gaming.
