Have a look at some samples in this repository: https://github.com/adamgit https://github.com/adamgit/Entity-System-RDBMS-Beta--Java- https://github.com/adamgit/Game--Escape-from-the-Pit It is good introduction into basics of modern game engine architecture in Java (component-based entity systems). Basic idea is that component-based approach is more suited for games than traditional entity-centric object-oriented. This is because the latter leads to bloated super-classes with lots of responsibilities and rigid inheritance hierarchies.
