PlayN Cookbook

This project contains a bunch of simple examples of common techniques used when developing video games. Each example is a separate project and tries to focus on demonstrating a single technique. Because PlayN projects can run on HTML5 web browsers, each project is compiled into a running example which is embedded in the web page that discusses the technique in question.

The current entries are enumerated below, grouped into broad categories.

Control Techniques

• Asteroids-like ship controls
• Top-down Dungeon Crawler

Environment Techniques

• Top-down Tile View
• Top-down Tile Editor

Special Effects

• Drifting Snow
