There are some particular API’s in Java that make it very good. However I would prefer C++ because of performance and “bleeding” edge support with OpenGL and OpenAL among the many libraries.
Which API’s are there that are similar to Java2D (I know I can use OpenGL however I lack the matrix math understanding to fully use OpenGL in this way)? Also which GUI framework (non-native; platform independent) is the most used in C++?
FLTK, Fast Light Tool Kit has some 2d functionality. It’s somewhat like swing and 2d mixed together. It does focus more on the UI aspect but it may help you out.
