My first steps with JavaFX on Raspberry Pi

Today I started playing with my Pi & JavaFX. Even after a few hours I can say that this stuff really rocks!

I created a screensaver as a first demo. The programm loads random pictures (2848 × 4288 pixel) and animates them on the screen:

{% include posts/youtube.html id=“r0GEm1pEhoE” %}

I used a experimental build of [DataFX]({{ site.baseurl }}{% link pages/projects/datafx.md %}) for loading and scaling all the pictures. In my point of view the performance of all animations is awesome. Oracle has really done a great work!

Next will be a [GridFX]({{ site.baseurl }}{% link pages/projects/gridfx.md %}) demo that I currently try to port to JFX8.
