• Any business application with complex UI controls / animations
• Experimental 3D
• Hobby / academic / commercial projects
• Teaching / learning / improving game development skills

    @Override
    protected void initSettings(GameSettings settings) {
        settings.setWidth(800);
        settings.setHeight(600);
        settings.setTitle("Basic Game App");
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}
