Title: Game Engines in Java
Post by: pimathbrainiac on March 06, 2013, 03:07:40 pm

Hey, are there any good/easy to use Java game engines out there other than JMonkey out there?

I don't want to use JMonkey because it requires jdk 6, and I have jdk 7, and I don't want to downgrade...

Well you can use both. I have 6 and 7 installed.
For 2D I use Slick2D. Besided JMonkey I don't know any other good 3D engines. You should use LWJGL, which is what Slick and JME are based on.

Don't forget Greenfoot (http://www.greenfoot.org/door).

Yeah Greenfoot can be kinda nice sometimes. Builderboy actually uses it for Java games. I think there can be some lag though.
