In the “JFX In Action” interviews, we already saw many business use cases of JavaFX. Let’s take a side step and look at game development. FXGL is a library that helps us create JavaFX games. But it’s much more than games! With the integrated Goal-Oriented Action Planning (GOAP) functionality, it can use game technology and AI to solve any kind of goal based on actions and preconditions.

In this video, Almas live-codes a fully working GOAP example application!

About FXGL

FXGL is a JavaFX Game Development Framework with the following highlights:

• No installation or setup is required
• “Out of the box”: Java 8-21, Win/Mac/Linux/Android 8+/iOS 11.0+/Web
• Simple and clean API, higher level than other engines
• Superset of JavaFX: no need to learn new UI API
• Real-world game development techniques: Entity-Component, interpolated animations, particles, and many more
• Games are easily packaged into a single executable .jar, or native images

You can use it for:

• Any 2D game (side-scroller / platformer / arcade / RPG)
• Any business application with complex UI controls / animations
• Experimental 3D
• Hobby / academic / commercial projects
• Teaching / learning / improving game development skills
• Fast prototyping of app ideas

You can find the sources of FXGL on GitHub with a lot of examples in the fxgl-samples directory.

The sources of the GOAP-example are available in a GutHub Gist as a single-file application that can be executed with JBang with the command jbang FXGLGoapExample.java.
