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

Let’s Use IntelliJ as a Game Engine

Alexandros Chatzizacharias takes you on a delightfully absurd ride as he treats IntelliJ IDEA like a full-blown game engine. Using the plugin platform, he implements game logic, renders sprites, handles physics—and even battles a rogue mutable variable bent on destroying your cursor. Expect head-scratching moments, “aha!” breakthroughs, and plenty of laughs as he proves that, sometimes, the most sophisticated IDE can be your playground.

This session is perfect for anyone who believes that curiosity and a sense of fun are the best ingredients for innovation. You’ll walk away inspired to push your tools beyond their intended use, spark unexpected ideas, and maybe even try your own off-the-wall coding experiment.
