Open Source Java Game Development Frameworks for BSD

Arianne is a multiplayer online engine to develop turn based and real time games, providing a simple way of creating the game server rules and clients like our MORPG Stendhal. Our engine Marauroa uses Java and SQL for hosting hundreds of players on a solo host. Stendhal is a fun friendly and free multiplayer online adventure game with a huge and rich world. With hundreds of NPCs and different quests, features like the Travel log and achievement system keep track of progress. Thousands of creatures are ready to fight, above and below ground, and as players level up they can compare themselves on a detailed stats website. The engine Marauroa provides a simple way of creating games on a portable and robust server architecture. Marauroa manages the client server communication and provides an object orientated view of the world for game developers. It handles database access in a transparent way to store player accounts, character progress and the state of the world

jAMOS is a cross platform, Java-based reimplementation of François Lionet's AMOS BASIC on the Amiga.

Boss Engine is a graphical API for writing low-resolution 8-bit color applications. It offers easy to use functions for handling graphics, basic i/o and more. Screen access is performed through virtual framebuffers that allow direct read/write access to indexed color screen data. API is coded entirely with native libraries. No third party libraries required.

C-Lesh is a game programming language for 2D games - mainly arcade and platform games. When combined with the Super Mario World (SMW) engine you can create awesome 2D platform games like Super Mario World. This language evolved from a "clone" of TI-BASIC which I began developing when I was having memory (segmentation fault) bugs with C. C-Lesh lacks memory allocation and destruction. There is no need to use pointers and you can never get memory leaks or program crashes caused by memory leaks. As C-Lesh is somewhat primitive you may like it if you are into C. I'd say its a step up from C for 2D games. Everything is set - all you need is a sprite sheet and some programming knowledge.

Friendly Object-Oriented Game Library , 2D Java Game Engine based on Slick2D and LWJGL. This library was designed for students and primer Java programmer.
