The purpose of this repository is to provide an elegant solution for developing graphical computer programs, such as simulations and games, using the Java Programming Language and the JFoot environment, a decoration of a Greenfoot environment.

</dependency>For years, I have been fascinated with the idea of building Greenfoot applications without using the Greenfoot framework. Eventually, I stumbled upon this blog post which discusses how to "run Greenfoot environment independently of the Greenfoot framework". I was inspired to, not only follow this blog post to locally replicate what is being proposed, but also create a snapshot of the environment by jarring the application, and deploying it to a java artifact repository. Finally, I created jfoot-api-1.0.1 and, iterations after it , to decorate the original Greenfoot framework with additional classes, and interfaces aimed at enabling development for scalable and maintainable applications.
