}FXGL is perfect for small to medium sized games and for beginner / intermediate programmers in JavaFX. It is primarily aimed at people who wish to learn and practise game development. It also takes care of the common boilerplate code, so it can be used for fast prototyping. For larger projects the library may not be as suitable, whereas advanced programmers will probably want to work with something like libGDX or JMonkey. If you have a use case (feature) that FXGL doesn't cover, raise an issue, carefully describing the use case.
The samples/ folder will be constantly updated to include demonstrations of various features.
