Rewriting Argentum Online in Java, using Artemis, Kryonet and libGDX.

ECS (entity-component-system)

To understand ECS, I recommend to read this. Using artemis framework has been really useful to start rewriting this game.

Kryonet

Avoid creating huge game protocol since we can use Requests and Responses, which can be processed easily with 'visitor' design pattern. Read more here

libGDX

It allows us to create application game logic, create screens and render all that we need using OpenGL.
