  • LibrarianLib

    A library for the TeamWizardry mods

  • The code is on GitHub, and I wrote some cursory documentation, though I’ve retired from modding at this point.

  • jMonkeyEngine

    A complete 3-D game development suite written in Java.

  • It is, or at least was, efficient. Java has a great game engine called https://jmonkeyengine.org/ that at the time could compete with Unity, not sure the status now. And LWJGL, the lower layer for ooengl, was quite nice to use and it is efficient to go that low level if you plan to do a game that does not fit the stereotypes in such game engines, as you will find yourself fighting the engine more than the actual game.

  • beatoraja

    Cross-platform rhythm game based on Java and libGDX.

    Ultraworm - based on Revenge of the Titans

  • "Revenge of the titans", a tower defense-like game that was featured in one of the first humble bundles.
