Penumbra looks interesting. Prior to heading there, I decided it would be a good idea to take advantage of all the Processing examples and see if I could dispell any concerns (Mainly because it packaged jogl with the download and testing is as easy as clicking a button. Very pleasant experience). Any discovery could be pushed to penumbra or picollo2d or whatever after working out some rudimentary 'understanding'.
Here's some code: https://gist.github.com/1008742 It's supposed to give the user a default view of the board (at an angle, so that the opponents cards seem further away on the opposite side - similar to the way most of your 3d chess games have looked). Currently there is just one card, but imagine lots. In the default view the user should be able to mouse over a card and drag it about the table. If the user presses 'z' then the 'camera' zooms in (and into a flat angle) and the user should be able to just pan around by clicking and dragging. So, my concerns seem to be valid. I simply don't know how to do proper transformations from...what are they called...viewport and object space coordinates? Is a wrapper over lwjgl going to fill that knowledge gap?
