Can anyone recommend a good Java game engine for developing simple tile-based games?
I’m looking for an engine that will allow me to build maps using something like Tiled http://www.mapeditor.org
Slick is exactly what I’m looking for, slick.cokeandcode.com but I can’t get it working on Vista-64. The best I can manage is:Can’t load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform (and this after downloading the latest LWJGL version).
Can anyone suggest something similar that will run on 64-bit vista?
I’d recommend purchasing the book “Developing Games in Java” by David Brackeen, it includes a tile-based game framework which seems excellent (I haven’t implemented anything with it yet though).

You could also download the code without getting the book, but I’d recommend the book.
