Java roguelike libraries?

[george]

I've been getting into Clojure lately and so I'm wondering what Java libraries/engines are available for making RLs. I don't have any experience with Java so I'm starting fresh.

I found serf, libjcsi, blacken, Ng engine, and then Java RLs themselves of course and some other things on Roguebasin; any other good ones I'm missing?

Check out Jade. Looks fairly simple to implement, but I have no experience with it.

Looks like you've pretty much found them all.

Of course, you can use one of the curses libraries by using the JNI,  but that is a) a little bit ugly and b) breaks portability, I think. I never tried to use it. It's a shame that there's no native console support - awesome language.

Concerning java-based RLs, there's a long list in roguebasin's java article.

Jade looks interesting but it seems the tutorial they had was removed from their wiki a few months ago and never added back. I've emailed the dev to see what's up.

How could someone other than TB call a roguelike library "Jade"?

I don't know, I had the same question. I guess it's short for 'Java development' or something like that?

The dev got back to me and may have a tutorial up in a few weeks. He also pointed out the package in trunk called 'rogue' which does serve as a small example to get started.

Right now it looks like blacken may be the best choice for a pure UI library.

This is an *awesome* LOS library I'm using in my Java roguelike (http://www.janthus.com/game.jnlp):

Highly recommended.
