A Simple Game Engine coded in Java using only native libraries

This project started out as a way to help teach others Java through coding a game. It provides the user the ability to create a simple 2D, top down game quickly. I also wanted to learn more about game development so the only libraries used were native to Java (ie Java2D).

Examples for creating a simple game are included under src/example

The below demo is running at ~120 FPS for a little over 100 game objects (10 x 10 grouping of water objects). The game has been tested to run at roughly the same FPS with over 1000 game objects (Game objects include trees, players, water blocks, etc)

Setup just requires including this project into your code base, no external libraries / dependencies are required.

• Player and object creation
• Camera following an object
• Easy IO handling for keyboard (mouse support currently not implemented)
• Fast drawing (Only draws visible objects to improve game speed)
• Animations (Allows for a game object to "move" through images at different speeds) (Used to the spider's movement and the water)

• Implement a sound manager
• Expand demo to include a platformer game
• Ability to easily import and export levels into the game
• General optimizations for game loop
