are java graphics bad?

Honestly, C++ doesn’t have any graphics. Most graphical games written in C++ actually use a graphics engine – DirectX or OpenGL.

You can write a C++ program with no graphics whatsoever, or you can use one of these high-end tools. The quality of the graphics will depend on which tools the programmer chose and how skilled the programmer and graphic artist are.

Likewise, Java can be used with no graphics whatsoever, or a number of other graphics engines, including DirectX and OpenGL – the same exact engines used in C++.

Many Java games on the web use the rather primitive graphics built into standard Java builds, so this can explain the perception that java has weaker graphics than Java.

More sophisticated Java games tend to use a system called java3D, which often translates to DirectX or OpenGL on the local machine.

It’s more difficult for Java to interface with graphics acceleration hardware than C, because Java is designed not to work directly with the hardware, but through an intermediate layer. Still, this limitation is being overcome.
