The Console Java Engine is based off of JavidX9's PixelGameEngine.
Uses Lanterna to emulate a terminal, also comes with a Pair class that is a basic copy of C++s pair class.
Requires Java 17+
To use CJE, include it in your project, then create a class and extend the ConsoleJavaEngine. It provides a Skeleton for your project and also provides protected methods to write to the screen.
import com.googlecode.lanterna.input.KeyStroke; import com.spireprod.cje.ConsoleJavaEngine; public class Adventure extends ConsoleJavaEngine { public Adventure() { super("Adventure", 80, 24); } @Override protected void onGameCreate() { } @Override protected void onGameUpdate(float deltaTime) { } @Override protected void onGameInput(float deltaTime, KeyStroke keyStroke) { } @Override protected void onGameRender(float alpha) { } public static void main(String[] args) { Adventure venture = new Adventure(); venture.run(); } }
ConsoleJavaEngine is available through Jitpack. Here's what you want to use:
dependencyResolutionManagement { repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS) repositories { mavenCentral() maven { url = uri("https://jitpack.io") } } } dependencies { implementation("com.github.CaptainSly:ConsoleJavaEngine:{VERSION}") }Currently has a flickering bug.
