Hi World,
My nickname is P3(Pirate Cat)! I’m programming my first game in Java. I have been working with Java for about 3 months. I program in many other languages too. I have been programming for about 4 years. Sad I have never made a game. I’m right now reading Killer Game Programming in Java. If anyone knows of good java game programming books, videos, or websites, please leave a reply were I can find it!
wish me luck!
P3,
I spend about two years using the basic stuff from KGPiJ as my basecode. Probably the most enjoyable couple years of Ludum Dare, even if I didn’t complete many games. I’ve since moved on to Flash and Flashpunk, but you should have fun using what you’re using.
I guess it depends on if you doing rich applications or applets
but I really enjoy using http://jmonkeyengine.com/
It use LWGL for Scene Graphs, Nifty for GUI, Bullet for Physics and OpenAL for Sound
Plus the community/forum is awesome.
I used to make stuff with Java after reading Killer Game Programming, but switched to javascript after finding out about HTML5 Canvas.
Yeah, I have done some stuff in HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. I have made a nice little MusicPlayer for the iOS. The only thing is my IPhone does not like the idea of not having the files locally. lol. Also, making a buffering function is harder than I thought.
Gems form the internet…
[...]very few websites that happen to be detailed below, from our point of view are undoubtedly well worth checking out[...]……
It’s not that hard to do really. I’ve been working with Java for two years now and I never had created a game neither just because I have no interest in the gaming environment. I challenged myself do it anyway and I had found some great tutorials on the net that helped me out. Learning by mistakes is the way to go. Good luck either way!
