Hi PlayN developers,
I just finished teaching a course at NYU about multiplayer gaming, and the 14 students did some amazing games (I'm really proud of the work they did!), and it's all open source (Apache 2 license).

Below are the APK links for android.
If you can't install an APK from the internet, you need to enable "Settings -> Security -> Unknown sources (allow installation of non-Market apps)"


Use Box2D:

Yes, we hosted it on AppEngine:
(but it takes 5-10 seconds to load because we put all the games together)

Enjoy :)

Great work, just tried some of the games on Android, they run pretty well.

I just see a blank page and errors with Chrome 18.

Cross-origin image load denied by Cross-Origin Resource Sharing policy.

Thanks for pointing out the 3 missing resources :)
Those are now fixed. I needed to add some images and this to web.xml:

  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>gwt-log-remote-logger-servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/showcase/gwt-log</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

However, I get those same errors before and it still loads for me (see attached image).
It just takes a really really long time (20+ games in one showcase).
Do you get any other javascript errors?

Adblock Plus was hiding the game. It works now.

There are two other errors, however they seem intentional.

[ERROR] This is a 'ERROR' test message
[FATAL] This is a 'FATAL' test message

I noticed that the JavaScript is currently compiled in GWT's 'DETAILED' mode, as opposed to the much more compact default 'OBFUSCATED' mode. Changing the OBF mode will greatly reduce the size of the JavaScript and should reduce script load / parse time.

Correct.
We were debugging the live version for a while.
Deployed the obfuscated javascript.
