Litiengine VS Zircon

Have you looked at https://litiengine.com/ code? Its an interesting little pure java AWT based engine. You could see how they are doing their game loop.

Tired of all the vaguely ambiguous harvesting references? Just want to take your mind off of all the comfy farming games? How about some old-school shooty fun in space? Star ReaperZ is an arcade space shoot-‘em-up made with our very own open source Java 2D game engine LITIENGINE. We didn’t have the full weekend at our disposal, so we had to cut some corners with graphics and audio, but all in all, you will have a great time harvesting innocent galaxies! Check out the game HERE!. Oh, and of course the game is open source!

From a quick search this is the main java engine i found: Litirngine

For native binaries, we now have https://www.graalvm.org/reference-manual/native-image/, but it probably doesn't yet work nicely with game frameworks? Not sure.

There are some engines, frameworks: https://jmonkeyengine.org/, https://litiengine.com/, https://libgdx.com/, https://www.lwjgl.org/.

But I have no real experience with any of those.

so I am trying Litiengine (https://litiengine.com/), but the problem is, I am getting this error everytime I wanna build project... I tried everything what I found on the internet, but it didn't help so far... New project has the same issue, when I changed sdk (15), the error was the same, just not 11, but 15...

Google is your friend. Search terms "Java 2d game engine": https://litiengine.com/

LibGDX is often recommended, but I'm also aware of FXGL and LITIENGINE.

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

Hope you're not getting down voted because of Kotlin. Even the example on their page is in Java. https://github.com/Hexworks/zircon

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!

Hi all! If any of you want to use a Hexworks project for the 7DRL (Zircon or Amethyst) feel free to jump on our Discord Server where you can get help with those and talk with other 7DRLers!
