The Freely Available Networked Gaming (FANG) Engine is an open source 2D Java gaming engine designed for creating single and multi-player games and simulations, both as applets and as applications. It is currently released under a GPL license.

The FANG Engine API is simple enough for novice programmers to use and advanced enough to create networked real-time applets. The gaming engine has been used in many introductory programming courses since 2003. Students from 5th grade to college senior have used the FANG Engine in online classes, traditional classrooms and in short programming workshops. You can even write games using only a web broswer now that the FANG Engine has been combined with the Java Wiki Integrated Development Environment.

Try out the FANG Engine by making your game online - no account or download needed. Visit the FANG Engine Sandbox.
