Let's use Spring Boot to build games, because why not?
summary
Spring Boot and Spring Web with Kotlin run full games: Pong, Snake, Terraria-like world, a Dark Souls-ish boss and a Vampire Survivors rhythm clone, using Java Swing or LWJGL for rendering. The bean lifecycle, new BeanDefinitionRegistrar, @Scheduled game loop (60 fps ≈16 ms ticks) and repositories map tiles; custom annotations like @WithSound and @GameManager handle audio/updates; actuator endpoints power the UI, Spring Security gates upgrades, and the transaction manager creates five-beat snapshots for rollbacks — and it actually runs smoothly.
