FXGL 11 has been a success among JavaFX developers, leveraging high-performance cross-platform support for games and applications. FXGL seamlessly extends JavaFX to bring support for real-world game and application development concepts and techniques, which can be used in both Java and Kotlin.

In this session, developers will dive deeper into the FXGL AI capabilities and learn how to:

• create a 2D navigation grid from a game level,
• use A* pathfinding with game objects.

Modern JavaFX provides hardware acceleration support on a range of platforms, including desktop, mobile and embedded, allowing the development of high-performance cross-platform applications.

However, to develop games with JavaFX effectively, numerous domain-specific concepts are needed.

To address this need, the FXGL game engine extends JavaFX and brings support for real-world game development techniques. These include the entity-component model, A* pathfinding, particle systems, sprite sheet animations, and many other features.

As a result, JavaFX (including Java and Kotlin) developers can produce games more quickly and more effectively with FXGL.
