Game Programming with Java and Slick2D - Part 1 (Programming Resources)

[TheCodingUniverse]

Very interesting stuff. I have used slick in the past, but now I prefer having more control and actually learning a "real" graphics engine: OpenGL. Therefore, I stick to using lwjgl only.

@TheCodingUniverse Yes, LWJGL is amazing. However, I am developing this series to be an introduction to game programming and want to keep it simple. I am thinking about a more advanced series upon this ones conclusion.

@TheBinaryAddiction Good idea :)

hey 'TheBinaryAddiction' you should have also downloaded MarteEngine its a resource management extension for Slick2d based on FlashPunk. Although it's not really needed its a welcomed addition as you store all paths to your resources in an xml file and get them via the ResourceManager from MarteEngine

@gonzo191 I will check it out. Thanks!

Hello. I've been looking for a tutorial about Slick2D for a while. While I'm not that experienced, I'm aiming to at least learn how to use the Slick2D engine for a future project. Do please continue this series. I really want to learn.
