Awesome JMonkeyEngine

What is JMonkeyEngine?

JMonkeyEngine (JME) is a free and open-source 3D game engine built with Java. JMonkeyEngine is robust and easy-to-use, while giving as much control as possible to you, the developer. The engine has been used to power titles such as Lightspeed Frontier, Skullstone, Mythruna, and more, since 2003.
