KEEP VS KorGE

Btw. unsigned types are partially stable now in Kotlin 1.5: https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/blob/master/proposals/unsigned-types.md

It will be easier with Context receivers, those are not available yet

If you like the idea of CoroutineScope, CoroutineContext, suspend, you will like the Kotlin Coroutines Design proposal https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/blob/master/proposals/coroutines.md

I base my opinions on things that I've read from Mr. Elizarov and from the value classes KEEP: https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/blob/master/notes/value-classes.md

Be sure to read the full documentation and how value classes in Kotlin relate to Java’s upcoming Project Valhalla.

https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/issues/259 I'm guessing in 1.7 (or by the pace features are currently getting released, 1.17...) it will get an experimental release.

The value classes KEEP itself even raises the point that even once Valhalla is released, its adoption won't be universal at first, and that limiting a major feature like value classes to a specific version of the JVM, or a specific target, doesn't make sense.

But if you prefer Kotlin and want to use Kotlin specific language features, you can consider KorGE(https://korge.org). KorGE supports "JVM for Android, JS for the Web and Native code for iOS and Desktop."(https://korge.org/features/native)

Korge. https://korge.org/

How would you compare it to https://korge.org/ ?

I've seen a similar question like this in r/kotlin and would say if you're making a serious game, like u/77debumo says use a real engine like unity. If you want to build a game in kotlin just cause, you might want to check out korge. I wouldn't recommend just building an Android app that is a game.

I want to develop a tiny 2d game in Kotlin. I searched for 2d game engines and found KorGE (https://korge.org). I like it so far. Just wondering if there are better alternatives out there?

I am not the author or developer of this, but I know the Korge game engine fits the bill. Perhaps you can contact soywiz if you're not in touch already?

Have you thought of Kotlin multiplatform for game development (primarily competing with game libraries like libGDX and Cocos2D, and maybe later game engines like Unity and Unreal)? Are you aware of KorGE?
