Java Game Programming With Greenfoot (Part 1 of 2)

[ILykToDoDuhDrifting]

this thing makes no sense.

it's a bad joke...

no way to teach programming..too complex, they just try to mask it the code/sweep the technical content (which is programming) under the carpet except rather than carpet, it's pixel art.

[puparama]

I want to make a car move the same way as your crab, with the arrow keys. How do I do this?

[mint301]

I try running greenfoot and get "Couldn't find bluej.boot class". Any ideas how I get the program running?

[videomakerman1232]

How did you make the ant simulation?

[73jakk]

haha java sucks bat ftw

[proJaguar]

would you mind showing a turn(); method? please !

[18km]

@proJaguar The turn() and move() methods are part of the Animal class in the crab scenario (not built in to Greenfoot itself). To see them, look at 'crab'. You can get that scenario from the web page of the Greenfoot book, here:

[18km]

Oops - it didn't let me post the URL to the book web site. It is greenfoot [dot] org/book

[7715z]

PUSHI KURAC!

[mikelinjo]

lol. I am writing and deleting my comments all the time :D

Finally I found all these things in Animal :D

nice. But in these videos you should mention that, cause now everyone thinks, that thee are already made! :)

but good vids of you 18km!

[RinDig00]

i like to use the simple bug program

[philip8472]

Sag mal wieso kann ich nicht in meinem greenfoot programm die befehle mov, turn usw verwenden?

[pisanghangus]

green footsie

[DJWyldeStyle]

You just sound like a steward on a plane

[beastmodecat]

that crab game is so pownage

[imofawzy]

hey guys i can't launch java games on my nokia.. i can't see any .jar file so i can't launch the games so pls help.. reply or PM me plz quick

[GANTOR821]

In order to use the move() method, you can access the Greenfoot helper classes; specifically 'mover', on their website. If you just copy and paste that code into a new subclass that extends to your actor, you can use both the move() and turn() methods without errors.

[oginalh]

ooh, ok, the mac one is deifferent than the windows one, i was wondering why you could 1, pull the crab while in *run* and 2, use the command *move*

[Tiowa1]

Is this similar/compatible with BlueJ?

[eddiekoski]

Hey this must be a edit of the AP Computer Science Exam Case Study "Grid World"

However this pretty nice

[ToSGod]

I was thinking that when I saw it.

[lagging199527]

the move command doesnt work terrible tut

[lagging199527]

move();

didnt work

[iFhernd]

Excellent, thanks for this information. I'm learning Java Programming... and this video is very explicit! Thanks again!

[hsdgkas]

have 1 question i get it all but when i tpye in the move command it says it cant compile to i need to put something from java in the greenfoot or a patch or what pls answer :D

[adjalihydro]

I use greenfoot to make some of my games and civilisations in 2D. Im still learning though.

[sonicwhip]

didnt they make runescape with java

[JoeKinglake]

Yep

[Rue89]

What they neglect to tell you is that bits and pieces of it are made from different languages that were implemented to work along aside java.

Java doesn't have too much power behind it for game development, but it's perfectly suited for some nice 2d games.

[sonicwhip]

yea i wanna start off with simple 2d games and eventually work up to high quality 3d games.

[Daniyoyo]

is it move();? becasue i put that into my program and nothing happens

[Youngohan]

anyone know where i can download c++

[kwanttitatti]

You need download something compiler. Try Dev-Cpp its free IDE and it comes with free compiler and it's free!

[Youngohan]

oh really ok tkx =P

[azygindahouse]

hey do you know where i can download a good java or c++ programme specifically for game programming( i dont want trial versions btw)

[atlaschooty]

goto the java site and you could get it...

[kwanttitatti]

For Java Eclipse or NetBeans IDE and for C++/C I think Dev-C++ is good!

[FranLsk]

Those are IDEs, they are not game engines

[kwanttitatti]

Yeah but they can be used for Game Programming...But if he wants engine SDL or OpenGL would be good!

[h3rry123]

im doing this in IT at school

it is wicked!

[18km]

For those of you who want to read the source code better:

In the 'more info' area is a link to a higher quality version of the video - there you can read the code. You can also download the source code for many videos if you follow that link.

[casandramar]

hey theres a program called blender its a 3D game animation and game design program thats completely free dosen't envolve any programming and is way better than that !

[joemomma53]

Yeah but you can also use it for 3D modeling, plus it's in Python

[powermousey]

@18km, are you Diablo and now JL235??

I think and even sense you are. If you are, I just want and like to say hi and you have a very good video. And you were right about using free compilers and programming packages. I was wrong about this. I'm using the freeware Lite C package of 3d Game Studio, probably will go back to python, and even using Dark Basic professional. Hey, I already paid for it a few years ago, might as well use it. I might even dwell into this Greenfoot as well.

[chivas408]

is this for pc

[Pablos544]

That's a very intesting idea. I wasn't too impressed by the inanimate crab moving around the screen but then i noticed immense potential of what you were doing when i realised you were actually creating a 'class' at the same time. Excellent. Keep 'em coming :)

[egmfan2]

rally thanks

[93Gaara]

can you make game for mobile in green foot

plz Reply

[JAMES19860817]

cool...but the code is not clear in this video...can anyone tell me the code in the editor?..

[GTPrince60000]

cool am in programing right now and al probabally start game programing.

[kwanttitatti]

GREAT!This helped me lot to start game programming.I am making game where player is seal who eats fishes.Seal gets hungry all time and if it get too hungry it gets sad.When seal is sad you lose the game.Thats my plan but lets what I do.Thanks for uploading.

[HumbleRat328]

I love the ant/pheremone simulation.  You even have pheremone evaporation! I love it =)

[cjamf0]

downloaded greenfoot, what java do i have 2 install to use?

[fluberwinter]

thanks a lot! finally I can start with basic programming.
