History

Forplay was created in January 2011.[3][4] In August 2011, the project was forked and rebranded as PlayN.[5]

Name

The name PlayN comes from the project's motto "Cross platform game library for N>=5 platforms", as it claims to build games for five platforms: Java SE, HTML 5, Flash, Android and iOS.
