[Tutorial] Basic Java Game: Shooter Part 1

[gordanzzzz]

How about a real tutorial like four people that open java four the first time?

[crazyclown36]

@gordanzzzz If you want that, I suppose.. 

[gordanzzzz]

@crazyclown36

This is what I need I am working with unity and I need to learn this java script so I can make my game if u have any questions pm me thanks

[crazyclown36]

@gordanzzzz Sorry Java and Javascript are two different things. Unity uses Javascript which I know only a little of myself.

[gordanzzzz]

@crazyclown36

Thanks four clearing that out four me because I am going creasy over hear :)

Do u know any good tutorials four java script four the beginers ???

[stupinator]

@gordanzzzz OH DEAR GOD SO MANY GRAMMAR/SPELLING ERRORS!

Let me fix that for you.

"Thanks for clearing that up for me, because I am going crazy over here.

Do you know any good tutorials for JavaScript for the beginners?

[gordanzzzz]

@stupinator F U <----- did I spell it write U ass

English is a third language four me, how many do u speak ??? smart ass

[crazyclown36]

@crazyclown36 I don't really no. Never needed to know Javascript, maybe just try checking out some Unity tutorials for ones that also use Javascript.

[TheCADuser]

@crazyclown36 unity's javascript isn't the javescript you use on the web - it's actually called UnityScript - or you stick with C#

[crazyclown36]

@TheCADuser Ah ok.. yeah never really used Unity like I said or Javascript. Thanks for clarifying that

[GamerEveryMinute]

@gordanzzzz No I disagree. I think that this is for people who know Java and are not sure what libraries to use. If you want to learn java to to TheNewBoston.

[gordanzzzz]

@GamerEveryMinute

I need java script not java

[novalyze]

You should have played the game at the end

[StripyIce]

at 3:18 my code is EXACTLY the same as urs, except the setVisible(true); is an error :/ Any ideas? It says "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method setVisible(boolean) from the type Window "

[crazyclown36]

@StripyIce Can you just send me a message with the constructor you have. (from public Shooter() { to the end '}') Not sure why it would say that so I need to see for myself. Thanks

[StripyIce]

@crazyclown36

Nvm lol fixed it, put it in the wrong place :P

[crazyclown36]

@StripyIce Ah ok! Well best of luck ;p

[StripyIce]

@crazyclown36

Thanks! You'll be able to tell which part i'm on, i'll make a comment at the end of each part :D Lol

[crazyclown36]

@StripyIce Haha right on

[skippyninjaxx]

good tutorial bro but ur voice is bland which make it annoying try and put more personality into it

[omgimtheboss]

NICE tutorial, i liked it :D

i also subbed ;)

[crazyclown36]

@omgimtheboss Thanks, glad you liked it

[mrivpeanutiv]

bro Great quality Alot of videos you have to squint and you cant see the text unless you are fullscreen but this is Aweome thanks.

[crazyclown36]

@mrivpeanutiv glad you like it. I was always trying to get it where you could read it clearly enough. Fullscreen is annoying for a lot of people since you don't have a second monitor to also copy as you go :)

[mrivpeanutiv]

@crazyclown36 Ha yes it is, When i had my laptop and the screen i have now on my desktop it was so much better because Full screen Plus applications on the other one :), Thanks for the series again,

Gawd i have to get anouther Screen :P

[piexiv]

Nice tip on the built in getters and setters feature. That would have saved a LOT of time on my projects. Nice series so far.

[crazyclown36]

@piexiv i finished this series, the other videos (other 7) are already uploaded. still hoping to do more but time is short lately.. i hate it.

[skullkil07]

Download Link...

[crazyclown36]

@skullkil07 Unfortunately I've switched computers and lost to source to these tutorials. If you would like I could possibly re-write them in a much better format so I could provide a link to download.

[biggerthanblue]

mrjavahelps deserve credits

[crazyclown36]

@biggerthanblue and why is that? I made this not him. I knew java without watching his videos.

[biggerthanblue]

@crazyclown36 my mistake..

[crazyclown36]

@biggerthanblue no problem

[Jsnowboard]

under the player class, my final Image img is underliined

[crazyclown36]

@Jsnowboard Hover over that bit and let me know what it says. It may have some auto complete options that you could try as well.

[Jsnowboard]

@crazyclown36 im using a different program than the one in this video, it just says error

[crazyclown36]

@Jsnowboard if you want you can add me on msn: mechsearch@hotmail.com I can help you out from that

[mawrshmallo]

IM SO CONFUSED!but thats okay because i dont program XD

btw HAI CURSED

[crazyclown36]

@mawrshmallo Lol that's fine. But what's up :D

[Dragonruler100]

My - are underlined...what the hell?

[crazyclown36]

@Dragonruler100 I'm not sure what you mean?

[pyropshere228]

do you need to have prior knowledge on java programming

[crazyclown36]

@pyropshere228 It's recommended but certainly this is a more basic tutorial than some of the stuff that can be made with Java. So feel free to try it :)

[jsprowse]

Great demo. The "things" in the method brackets are called "parameters," and I think you are using the "final" keyword because you want to make sure your constructor method cannot change the parameter values to anything other than what you pass in? Final prevents your code from making a second assignment to a variable.

[crazyclown36]

@jsprowse correct, but you don't need it in this case cause the params are local only. So final is just so it cannot be changed inside of the method at any point.

[bbnoctor]

@jsprowse final makes the variables into constants and that means exactly what you said

[Brefamo]

I watched this out of boredom and in case anyone doesn't know:

NetBeans can generate getters and setters as well.

gotta love them netbeans



[crazyclown36]

@Brefamo thanks for the information, hopefully it will help some others :)

[krux02]

One thin I wont understand, why do I need getters and setters? Why cant i just make the attributes public?

[crazyclown36]

@krux02 To make thing Object Oriented and follow Java conventions.

[VideoKalanag4]

Theres alot of mouthsounds in this video :/

[callielittle88]

I have followed what you've written on the program ... but here I am using netbeans. which became my question is coding in Eclipse when entered on the Netbeans will be the same or different? because in this part of Netbeans gets a lot of errors.

Is there an email that can be contacted?? tnx a lot

[meirwiccameir]

what are the meaning of the codes you use in your program??

[xyper01]

@meirwiccameir madali lang yan ate. kung gusto mo turuan kita.

[Magikano]

thx for this, its hard to find a good resource thatll walk you through every step to creating a game. you mentioned though that you wanted to explain things more clearly and in depth than longhorndude, but you were still moving fast and the way you were winging your explanations can cause confusion. like how you mentioned you wanted to add getters and setters for every field because it looks "professional", that doesnt mean anything... u barely explain all those JFrame methods too.

[crazyclown36]

yeah I created this a long time ago. I wasn't very knowledgeable. I have a new channel (letsprogram) check it out, it has some more stuff. I also figured the JFrame stuff was self explanatory.

[XGhiyathX]

this longhorn has every thing, i downloaded some theme of longhorn last year it was pretty sick for xp.

[CrazyMongols]

This is rare, i use NetBeans for Java, and NetBeans gives an error for this:

import javax.swing.JFrame;

But why :O?

[beaglese]

@CrazyMongols Is the system library included in your project?

[HiGhDaRrEn]

this tutorial is terrible... u are not teaching me anything - THe point of tutorials is to teach people what your doing..not just do it and let people copy u

[crazyclown36]

Actually this was an earlier project I had after I had thrown some real tutorials out. This was meant to be something so people could try to interpret the code on themselves, it was an experiment for myself really. I wanted to see what feedback I got, and who needed help and what they needed help with. That way I could focus on explaining that more.

Anyways with all that said, I have a new channel: letsprogram and it also has a website. be sure to check the channel out.

[bbnoctor]

you dont want to spoonfeed anyone you said to me so you are telling lies

[bbnoctor]

unless you give him money he wont help

and maybe even then he wont help

[tiswas666]

this guide is really excellent - thank you! however, I'm new to java, having only used C and C++ in the past, so can you recommend a good starter book (or online tutorial)? In particular, I'm not very comfortable with creating graphics and double buffering, but it'd also be good to see more of how classes work and interact.

[crazyclown36]

Hey, you should check out my new channel: letsprogram

I'm always making new tutorials :)

[bbnoctor]

dont bother asking for help from crazyclown he wont give it to you

[bbnoctor]

java2 complete is a good book that was my first book

[alginonico]

Not being offence but you got a right nerdy voice lol

[crazyclown36]

yeah i realize ;\

[mrdarknezz]

Doesn't matter if you are skilled :P

[muikkupaska]

what application ur using?

[crazyclown36]

Eclipse IDE

[SpooksDragonFable]

It's hard to program games in java. I use C Plus Plus for games. This a great video though 5/5.

[crazyclown36]

thanks :) be sure to check out my new channel letsprogram which has a website too

[bbnoctor]

I tried your website which I thought was

about helping people to program but I found out you are a bunch of nazis no help at all I will not try again

[legendlazy]

Is this program free?

[LeprachaunStrangler]

Yes, Eclipse is free.

[jurretju]

Thx! learned allot! it works perfect only when the game start it takes player1 4sec till spawn, player2 works fine.

[crazyclown36]

[Darryl0181]

Nice! Finally i understand someone :P

5/5

[crazyclown36]

Thanks everyone, glad to help. Please suggest what you would like to see for a second video series. I will take it into consideration.

[Idesty]

Networking with Java would be awesome

[eliteveteran]

yeah it would, havent seen a decent one yet :/

[fullbinky]

very nice

[joeyc2410]

Cool, and really helpful...

5/5, I can actually understand this one.

[ArcanumServer]

looks good <3
