Game development in Java

The Java game engines jMonkey and libGDX are popular among experienced developers. However, there is a lack of Java Game Development tools available for beginners. We will cover FXGL, a JavaFX game engine that uses high-level API to make game development more approachable for beginners.

The talk is designed to provide a strong argument in favour of Java and JavaFX as Game Development technologies. A variety of real-world Game Development concepts and techniques will be covered using FXGL as an example.

The meeting is sponsored by Brandwatch who are providing pizza and a choice of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

RSVPs close at 5pm on the day, with Doors at 6:30pm. Talks will begin at 7:15pm.

Almas Baimagambetov is a Lecturer in Game Development at Brighton University and is currently finishing his PhD in Computer Science. Almas is a passionate software developer and a big fan of open-source projects.
