The beginnings of ideas for the next iteration of FastJ, 1.6.0! With almost 270 commits since 1.5.1, FastJ has been able to grow substantially! Thanks to all of our contributors this time around! ❤️
Examples are now visible from the root directory of the FastJ project -- the examples folder! Check them out.
Based on the direction I'm seeing the engine's current code architecture (or lack thereof) head, it's time we hunker down and completely redesign FastJ. As a result of this and lack of time, unfortunately not much effort can be put into 1.6.0's release and information surrounding it.
We would love your help in bringing FastJ into a much more cohesive state of being. Join the discord server and help us decide the architecture and features to be brought with us into the next version of FastJ. We're doing this right now (as of February 17, 2022). Bring your experience, your opinions, your ideas for the future.
Thank you for your time.

FastJ 1.5.1 has been released, with 80 new commits since FastJ 1.5.0. This version of FastJ contains bug fixes, new features, new examples, and more! Read on to find out what's new.
2 new example programs have been added to FastJ: Simple Audio and Behaviors! Check them out below:
All of FastJ's issue templates have been replaced with GitHub's issue forms. Check them out here!
Loading/Playing Audio with FastJ can now be done using java.net.URL, enabling easy use of sound files contained in a jarfile through the ClassLoader.
It seems that I forgot to cover the improvements made to FastJ's keyboard system in the 1.5.0 release. Sorry! Go check it out to see what's up.

This version of FastJ includes a revamped Drawable system with gradients and outlines support for polygons, more logic manager options, better keyboard input support, the addition of an audio engine, and much much more! Read on to find out what's new.
I'm proud to announce that the FastJ Discord server is now open -- join here!
With the popularity and feature list of FastJ growing, 13 new example programs have been added! They cover a range of topics like getting started, engine configuration, keyboard and mouse inpuut, text, polygons, models, scenes, and more.

The full list of new things in FastJ is so long, I couldn't possibly put it all here! Instead, I'll link you to the full post on the FastJ website.
This isn't a very glamorous update, but it is an essential one. FastJ has been equipped with several useful mathematical methods in order to ease the amount of work that programmers would need to do to create simple games.
...In other words, FastJ's pretty tough to use without these 😅
That being said, these updates constitute a satisfactory base that can be further built upon.
You may have noticed a shiny new badge on the README! FastJ now makes use of Sonarcloud for code coverage, code smells, and other various helpful code analyses.
I had some extra time while working on this game engine, so I meticulously worked to improve the documentation style and code style. With this update, the code for the library is (hopefully) much more consistent and readable.
