Windows programmer looking to cross platforms

[NOMADMAN]

long time windows game programmer. I know enough java to work with the console well and some swing. I'm interested in the names of the Java api that does graphics, 2D. Maybe an equvilant to BitBlt if another knows that one ;-)

Thanks,
Nomad

java.awt.Graphics2d lies at the core of all drawing in Java.

The closest to BitBlt are drawImage (image to context) and copyArea (blitting inside one context).

For tiles, there seems to be a downloadable extension called the Java Advanced Imaging API.

Then of course there is Java3d, also an optional package. Looks very interesting.
