Java and JavaFX are probably not the first options you consider if you want to create a game application. But the FXGL library allows you to do precisely that: create games that run on all platforms with the same codebase as we are used to with Java. And even without an extra library, the JavaFX Components and Canvas provide many animation and gaming possibilities. Let's learn from experts why Java should be on your game-development-language-list!
