Top 6 Kotlin Gamedev Projects

  • ktx

    Kotlin extensions for the libGDX game framework

    • Project mention: LÖVE: a framework to make 2D games in Lua | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-13

    I liked working with it (the library) but learned I hate working with Lua just slightly less than I hate working with JS. At least in JS we now have TS and things like Elm.

    I ended up moving to https://github.com/libktx/ktx for that little project.

  • imgui

    Bloat-free Immediate Mode Graphical User interface for JVM with minimal dependencies (rewrite of dear imgui) (by kotlin-graphics)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • littlekt

    A multiplatform 2D game framework written in Kotlin. Build your own game engine on top.

  • minigdx

    Minimalist Game Framework using Kotlin Multiplatform

    • Project mention: Show HN: Tiny – A 2D Game Engine in Kotlin Working with Lua | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-29

    Lua is easy to learn, dynamically typed and doesn't need to be compiled: it's perfect to get instant reload and it's perfect for small projects.

    If you want to create games using Kotlin, you can try my 3D Game Engine: minigdx (https://github.com/minigdx/minigdx).

    Or other game engine:

    - https://littlekt.com/ (LittleKt (Little Kotlin) is a multiplatform 2D game framework written in Kotlin)

    - https://korge.org/ (Korge - Modern Multiplatform Game Engine for Kotlin.)

    - https://libgdx.com/ (LibGDX, it's for Java but you can use Kotlin, if you don't want to target the web platform)

  • tiny

    Tiny is a lightweight 2D game engine that allows developers to easily create games using the Lua programming language. (by minigdx)
