Open Source Java Game Engines for Windows

Rails is a Java game engine intended to play any of the 18xx series of turn-based board games For 3-6 players and set in the 19th century, these games allow players to step into the shoes of the robber barons and railroad tycoons of the time period..

This is the first step of a board game engine development plan "Architect". The first version will be playing the classical Gomoku game, and this version is called "Architect I". This project also shows the rich features of the next generation Java graphical user interface. The GUI of this application was built using JavaFX 2.0 which was entirely written in Java. Although as been announced, JavaFX 3.0 will be integrated into JRE in next year, at this point, you still need a separate runtime evironment. Be sure to download and install the JavaFX 2.0 runtime before download this game. @2011.10.24
