Question

Does anyone know of any good Light Weight Java Game Library tutorials geared towards beginners in OpenGL? I have noticed there are some on youtube but they only cover the basics on creating a window and redering 2D quads to the screen, and are often incomplete. Also the LWJGL website offers small tutorials, but only, it seems, on the basics of setting up the window and polling input.

Any suggestions would be welcome.
