Java port of the Quake2 game engine

GWT is an flexible and object-oriented 2d game engine. It uses Code::Blocks and is based on SFML2 to give the ability to port your code to multiple platforms. With the integrated all-in-one tool for game resources it's possible to develop games in a short time. And it's open source! (license coming soon) Status: planning phase

Please visit our new website at http://moncefyabi.github.io/Joge/ Joge - Java OpenGL Game Engine- is a platform to develop 2D game (3D in the future) in Java.
