MOAR Rabbits! Dwemthy's Array in Java Refactored
Dwemthy's Array is an uber-geeky text based adventure game with a specific coding challenge built in, and is particularly suited to implementation with a dynamic language such as Ruby. What caught my attention recently, was Adrian Kuhn's implementation in Java. Despite my love-hate (or like-hate) relationship with Java, I'm always up for a coding challenge. I've taken Adrian's Java implementation and made it "MOAR META!" by using annotations and dynamic proxies.Project Darkstar Community - Home

jMonkey Engine: Scene Monitor (1.0)
Scene Monitor allows a user to visibly explore the structure of a scene graph while the application is running. A tree model captures all elements of the jME scene graph and allows for easy visual inspection.Game Programming Crash Course (for J2ME)
A thorough tutorial for introducing people to game programming and J2ME (no Java experience required!). Explained in great detail and clear language. Highly recommended for programming beginners and people starting out with games programming.Math for Java Game Programmers, Putting the Game-Math Library to Work
In deep howto, really usefull for game or GUI developpers that are also doing some Java2D for component customization.Learn Java and Eclipse by playing CodeRally
CodeRally combines competition with collaboration in networked races of up to 100 human-controlled cars, all Java-coding their way around the same crowded course. The competition and competitiveness actually makes users end up coding better and faster.Learn Java and Eclipse by playing CodeRally

J2ME Game Template
Some time ago I decided to write a simple template to facilitate the task of creating a new J2ME project.
The template is a Netbeans project that can be used as a base to build a J2ME game or application.The Z-Machine Preservation Project
The Z-Machine Preservation Project (ZMPP) is a modern implementation of the Z-machine in Java. It is completely written from scratch using Java 5 to provide an architecture that is easy to understand, maintain and extend. The goal is to provide an inte
jMonkeyEngine : StandardGame, GameStates, and Multithreading (A New Way of Thinking)
Many argue that games have no need for multithreading but that argument is becoming more and more difficult to maintain as multiprocessing and hyperthreading becomes more prominent and games need to be able to take advantage of it. However, even if you are developing games for older systems that aren't 64-bit, multiprocessor, or hyperthreading there is still significant advantages to multithreading.jMonkey Engine: a High Performance Scene Graph Based Graphics API
Much of the inspiration for jME comes from David Eberly's book 3D Game Engine Design.
jME was built to fulfill the lack of full featured graphics engines written in Java. Using a abstraction layer, it allows any rendering system to be plugged in. Currently, LWJGL is supported with plans for JOGL support in the near future.
jME is completely open source under the BSD license.Java Game Tutorial : Shoot 'Em Up with LWJGL
Great tutorial from Fabien Sanglard that will help you learn the basics of a game engine and a bit of OpenGL.Java Games Tutorial : Volatile Image
VolatileImage is stored in Video RAM (VRAM). This means that instead of keeping the image in the system memory with everything else, it is kept on the memory local to the graphics card. This allows for much faster drawing-to and copying-from operations.Java Game Tutiorial : Shoot 'Em Up with LWJGL
Great tutorial from Fabien Sanglard that will help you learn the basics of a game engine and a bit of OpenGL.Math for Java Game Programmers
This tutorial is the third in a series designed to teach you some of the mathematical skills that you will need (in addition to good programming skills) to become a successful game programmer.Tutorial for an Advanced Use of the Keyboard and Mouse for a Java Game
For computer games, the keyboard and mouse are the primary methods of interacting with the computer. The problem is, while Java has great support for these input devices for GUI applications, computer games need to handle the input a little differently.
Java Games Tutorial : Active Rendering
Active rendering is a style of programming that allows Java code to handle all of the rendering in a simple while loop. This approach resembles traditional game programming, allowing more time to be spent developing a game and less time spent worrying about which paint method to override.
