    libGDX

    libGDX

    Desktop/Android/HTML5/iOS Java game development framework

    libGDX is a cross-platform Java game development framework based on OpenGL (ES) that works on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, your browser and iOS. libGDX provides a well-tried and robust environment for rapid prototyping and fast iterations. libGDX does not force a specific design or coding style on you; it rather gives you the freedom to create a game the way you prefer. Publish your games on Windows, macOS, Linux (including the RPi!), Android, iOS, and HTML5, all with the same code base. libGDX comes with batteries included. Write 2D or 3D games and let libGDX worry about low-level details. Heavy emphasis is put on avoiding garbage collection for ART/JavaScript by careful API design and the use of custom collections. libGDX is a well proven and reliable framework with a sound base and documentation. Furthermore, there are plenty of games built on top of libGDX, many of which are open source.

    Ik

    Ik

    It's a game based on a puzzle survive sistem.

    The game tells us the story of Ik, a mayan young man. As we know, the entire Mayan Civilization disappears in some point back in time, but actually they went to another place, a better one (Something like " In a galaxy far far away"). The problem? Well, Ik didn't make it, he was left behind. So, abandoned in this world, he found Ok, the stone dog (I know, the names are little confused because they are based on Mayan Language). So, Ok tells our hero that he has to climb the Tower of Challenge to reach the other wolrd, where his people is. That's when the game begins.

    PedrosoGameWork

    Um pequeno framework didático de games em Java

    Com finalidades didáticas, a ideia de criar um pequeno framework em Java, que resolva os problemas básicos de mecânicas e ferramentas para games, nasceu pelo fato do Java não ter suporte nativo a games (tipo um XNA/MonoGame da vida) e esse fato é tão realista que Java não oferece suporte nativo a leitura de um joystick/gamepad. Sendo assim, esse framework não tem a pretensão de competir com qualquer outro que já exista em Java, mas sim ser um guia de referência bem documentada de como resolver alguns problemas em Java. O framework se divide em 2 partes: uma versão em Java 2D/Swing e outra em JavaFX. Por enquanto, apenas a versão Swing está em desenvolvimento, após sua finalização, será convertida as mesmas classes para JavaFX. Espero que ajude a todos! :) Obs.: Este projeto está sob a licença GNU/GPL v.3, mas contém o projeto exp4j 0.4.0 (http://www.objecthunter.net/exp4j/) que está sob a licença Apache v.2
