**Let’s Use IntelliJ as a Game Engine. Just Because We Can!**
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you used IntelliJ IDEA as a game engine? Probably not. But Alexander did. And the result? Equal parts absurd and brilliant!
Join us for a lighthearted and surprisingly insightful session where Alexander takes you on a journey into the madness of turning one of the world’s most powerful IDEs into a playground for game development.
Using the IntelliJ plugin platform, he’s managed to implement game logic, render graphics, and even simulate game physics, all within your coding environment. Expect head-scratching bugs, unexpected breakthroughs, and maybe even a rogue mutable variable trying to destroy your cursor.

**What to expect:**

* A creative misuse of a tool you probably use every day
* A glimpse into how far curiosity (and a bit of chaos) can take you
* Lots of laughs, a few "WHAT" moments, and loads of inspiration

Whether you're a seasoned developer or just someone who loves quirky ideas with a nerdy twist, this night is for you. Discover how the best innovations sometimes come from the most ridiculous experiments, and why fun might be the most important part of the work we do.

**Come curious, leave inspired and don’t forget to bring your sense of humor!**
