com.almasb.fxgl.all module not found
I downloaded javafx from here: https://github.com/AlmasB/FXGL as a zip, extracted it, then went to my project structure and added it to my libraries. For a couple seconds it seems to work, but then I get the error again, and the folder isn't showing up in my external libraries.

Excited for 2023!
Java seems to have gained a second wind in recent years, and the innovation in this ecosystem is speeding up. Java 20 and LTS release 21 are expected to happen this year. RIFE2, an actively-developed pure-Java web framework, has recently caught my attention. Like Javalin, it appears to be built on top of the successful Jetty server. I also started exploring FXGL for building games with Java. Lastly, as concerns over COVID-19 variants wane I expect an increase in Java developers participating in community events. For example, Chicago finally had its first in-person JConf event and the Chicago Java User Group (CJUG) is easing back into in-person events.

Simple 2D graphics framework for C#/Java
Have you checked FXGL? It’s built on top of JavaFX.

Would JavaFX be a good option for making a management game?
You might get some good use out of FXGL, a Java / JavaFX / Kotlin Game Library. It would probably save you implementing some things from scratch. It might not cover everything that you need, but it probably be at least somewhat helpful.

Kotlin equivalent to pygame?
If you don't mind depending on all of JavaFX you could also try: https://github.com/AlmasB/FXGL Haven't tried it myself but seems like an easy way to start making a game. The author is a university lecturer, so there are plenty of tutorials for games. As the other comment said, Compose Desktop would be a nice choice for a chess game, with the added benefit of easy porting to Android in case you're interested in learning it!

Game Making Libraries + Engines in Java 2022
I can highly recommend FXGL https://github.com/AlmasB/FXGL to get started building simpler 2d games before looking into 3d engines which can be daunting unless that’s what you are in for. Nice and easy api’s with everything you need as well as lots of example games to learn from.
-
Is it worth learning javafx??
Sure. See FXGL

Good framework for making 2d games
Either libGDX (https://libgdx.com) or FXGL (http://almasb.github.io/FXGL/) . libGDX is more complicated and more powerful, FGXL is better suited for simpler games and so easier for beginners, but recently it's development is quite active and more and more features are available.

Java swing turn based roguelike game loop advice
I'd recommend you use Zircon, it's THE roguelike rendering library for Kotlin/JVM. The developer is/was active on the discord too. Zircon website

game engines for 2D games in java?
Hope you're not getting down voted because of Kotlin. Even the example on their page is in Java. https://github.com/Hexworks/zircon
- Textual in Clojure?

New Zircon Release is out: 2021.1.0-RELEASE
There is another improvement that helps with extensibility: now it is possible to create custom tileset loaders. There is already a WIP loader that uses Tiled's format.
One important change that was a blocker for some other things was the reliance on the global Zircon object that also held some state. With #404 completed now there is no global state, and it is also possible to have TileGrid and / or Renderer objects without having an Application that continuously renders content.

But if you specifically want to build a roguelike and you're ok with Java, Zircon looks amazing! I have not tried it but just look at those screenshots!
