Devoxx: Let’s use IntelliJ as a game engine, just because we can by Alexandros Chatzizacharias

Alexandros Chatzizacharias takes you on a tongue-in-cheek adventure, using IntelliJ IDEA’s plugin platform as a full-blown game engine. He shows how to rig up sprites, game physics, and even a rogue mutable variable trying to wreck your cursor—all within your favorite IDE.

This playful session proves that a spark of curiosity and a dose of fun can turn any tool into a creative playground. Expect head-scratching moments, “aha!” breakthroughs, and plenty of laughs as you discover why the best projects often come from offbeat experiments.
