I need to create a Java-based platformer game for a high school project (not computer science related), and I want to spend as little time on technical stuff as possible.
I'm already experienced in Java, and I already have most of the gameplay, graphics, etc. All I need to do is code it. I've looked and I'm considering one of two options that do not involving coding a game from scratch:
- Copy an existing Java platformer (best option, but I can't find an open source Java platformer)
- Use a Java game engine to avoid coding from scratch. I've looked at JGame but I'm not sure if it's the best bet for a platformer.
