Slick2D is a simple set of tools wrapped around the LWJGL OpenGL binding for Java. It's aims are as follows:

* Provide a simple 2D API
* Make transition from Java2D to OpenGL easier
* Enable distribution via WebStart without the complexity
* Provide the tools required for most simple games out of the box
* Extensible framework for flexibility
* Mix and Match - you use what you want, nothing is enforced.
* Help with rendering, sound, input, collision and anything else we can think of.

Here are some things we're explicitly not doing and why:

* Abstracting the rendering method (i.e. Java2D or OpenGL). With the advent of LWJGL Applets, it's a waste of time and just makes things more complicated.
* Take over your development - where would the fun be if the library just forced you to do everything it's way?
* Fix everything - there will always be challenges in games development.
* Move to 3D eventually.

About Jiun with 1 comment by Unlimitedx on May 13th, 2013

Hello,

In Jiun, NPCs are now ready for action. They are able to move, to attack, to defend their position.The next step will be to do the merchants and passives NPC system.

IA Development and Stuff

We are also working on the Inventory and the Character Sheet. You are now able to move an item from a slot to another slot. Items are dynamically saved in our database. You are also able to equip an item so that it affects your characteristics and so that it is visible on your character and visible by others. 

IA Development and Stuff

An alpha test session is planed by the end of may.

IA Development and Stuff
