  • indigo

    An FP game engine for Scala.

    • I've made a little roguelike starter kit for Indigo to do some of the heavy lifting.

  • scala-game-library

    Scala library for cross-platform 2D game development

    • The only one I know of is SGL but I don't know how actively it's being worked on and it's still an OO flavour. I don't know of any FP-first game libs for Scala or Java.

  • 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.

  • Zircon

    Zircon is an extensible and user-friendly, multiplatform tile engine.

    • 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!

  • FXGL

    Java / JavaFX / Kotlin Game Library (Engine)

  • Litiengine

    LITIENGINE 🕹 The pure 2D java game engine.

  • jMonkeyEngine

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