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

Alexander Chatzizacharias takes us on a wild ride by turning IntelliJ IDEA into a makeshift game engine—because why not? He walks through the absurdity of using the plugin platform to handle sprites, physics, game logic and even a rogue mutable variable hell-bent on wrecking your cursor, sharing both head-scratching moments and “aha!” breakthroughs along the way.

This lighthearted session is perfect for anyone who believes the best projects come from curiosity and a sense of fun. Expect unexpected innovations, plenty of laughs, and maybe the inspiration to launch your own offbeat coding experiment.
