Hi Guys,

Update, this has been released. Please see forum post here: https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/222554

Over the past few days I have taken the AppGameKit Native Library and created Java bindings for it. This means that AppGameKit can now be used with Java (or even Kotlin), allowing users access to things such as OOP (Classes, Interfaces, Inheritance), JSwing, JavaFX, Java libraries, etc. However, I am wondering if there is any interest within the community for this? Since the Java Native Interface requires a shared library (DLL) I would have to get permission from TGC to release AppGameKit Java (like AGKSharp and AppGameKit for Python had to do). I am trying to gauge interest to see if it's worth speaking with TGC?

Below is the "MovingSprites" example code converted to AppGameKit for Java:

I'd be interested as I was a java guy in the past. Would this only work in windows?

@Hockeykid TGC would be very supportive of your Java/Kotlin variant (as have done with the Python and C# methods). Drop me an email and we can work this out.

Right now it's only Windows, but porting to Mac and Linux should be pretty easy.

Soon we might have something like this:

Sounds very promising.

I've reached out Rick and we should have a release here soon for Windows. After that I can start looking into Linux and Mac releases too (should be straightforward) and maybe even Android (some performance testing here would need to be done).
