The Slick Contest has come to it's conclusion and what a mightly collection it is. Check out the announcement:

Time to Play the Games!

Just trying again on the Android front, it's all moved on a long way and thanks to the wonderful LibGDX it's all a lot easier. A few hours of hacking later and I have:

WE'RE BACK!

More fast development, more features, more games! I'm working on some stuff with Android/Java2D as well so watch this space. Slick-wise I'm back and doing bug runs. Then we'll look at some new features including the long awaited (oldest RFE we have) DXTn support.

Thanks very much to the community for keeping things ticking over while I've been out of action - hopefully we can all get more involved in the project to make up for your hard work.

Looking forward to the future..

Just completed another bug run tonight. Everything requested on the forums is either fixed, added or at least responded too. Sorry it's been a bit of gap (2 months?) but I've been moving house :)

We're pushing up to 290 source files now and a hell of lot of tools and tests.

More cool, Slick is seeing new games being developed with it all the time. Anything 2D seems to be possible and quite a few other variations of view point.

Check out the Forums for examples and an active, helpful community!

The active chaps on the forums have decided a game development contest for Slick is a good idea - which I can't help but agree.

The theme?

BEER!

Excellent choice, and there sounds like there will even be a token prize up for grabs. Running for a month the only requirements are that you use Slick (or Slick-Util) and the game has something to do with Beer.
