Java tutorial - Making a 2D game - Part 1 [Incomplete Series]

[n4pgamer]

It's kinda lame to start with the code saying not much about what you use and stuff.

It takes less than half a minute to tell: "install Java JDK / JRE and Eclipse and you're ready to start" if that is the case here. If you use extra libraries you have to mention them. Even if you don't use other libraries "just Java just Eclipse" would be a good start. For experienced programmers this is a bad tutorial. They can tell.

[logie2288]

@HDStaticz

I love how Minecraft gets its way everywhere in the internet, even when the subject is nowhere similar to that of the Sandbox game by Mojang.

[ETHOB121]

@arin9001 Except Minecraft was written in Java

[HDStaticz]

12 Yr Old Boy here creating mods for Minecraft, ready for GUI, this tutorial looks pretty good.

[taumich97]

this is not a tutorial because you just want us to write text without knowledge about what it does

@notna56

Can't really make a review with 500 characters so if you want to talk more PM.

[JayXdbX]

@notna56

So i'd avoid websites for the learn , if you need to know how to do something simple like where to add a import then look online but

I would look 4 a book called "Deitel Java How to Program, 9/e ".

It's nearly 100$ but it will teach you everything you need to know about programming in general and java. It's a very dry book design 2 teach.

While i understand the price tags really high up there but the only thing i can suggest is save or look for some other book. Deitel is the best

[amaarmc]

im 10 still

[coolguy0331]

hi help me ? how can i make game like rs runescape plz help me

[notna56]

How did u learn that... Can a 12 year old boy with no programming experience at all learn that with no longer then a half year?????

[Catkill666]

@notna56 If you work hard enough then yes. People aren't born with knowledge you have to work at it.

[notna56]

@Catkill666 where can i learn it?? and im from sweden so if you find one in swedish give me that to but most in english. thanks if u can help me;)

[NullDeveloper]

@notna56

PS: oracle and se(dot)php(dot)net has is it in swedish (Portlane AB, Sweden)

Sorry forgetting to tell you.

[notna56]

@NullDeveloper thanks u very much:):) is there something in english to??

[notna56]

@notna56 sorry for being so.. but what am i going to pres if u looked at the site....

[NullDeveloper]

@notna56

[NullDeveloper]

@Catkill666

import java.what.he.said.*;

[NullDeveloper]

@notna56

Dude, Im 10 and I can do that, and more!

[notna56]

@NullDeveloper where did u learn it ???

thanks if u can help me;)

[Catkill666]

@notna56 Have a look at the Java tutorials by sun Microsystems - just type Sun Java tutorials in Google it should come up

Also check out my new channel as I will be making new tutorial series in high quality with full notes/examples on my blog.

[NullDeveloper]

@notna56

If you want to learn CSS, HTML, JavaScript, or any other web language like ASP, then w3schools is a great place to start (except for PHP).

If you want PHP, then the youtube channel phpacademy is great.

If you want Java, its better to read the API (and References) from Java Website, oracle(dot)com/java

PS: w3schools covers: HTML, HTML5, PHP 4, CSS, CSS3, RSS, ASP, SMIL, XML, XSLT, AJAX, and any other one you like (except for JSP).

Thank you for asking!

[RagingTriton]

@notna56 I'm 11 and I know this.

[TehGameMaker]

@notna56 thought i'd share this with you: I started game programming when i was 12, and now im developing games in java, and android apps, ive done some major html and php development, and now im 14. you can do alot if you just stick to it.

[cookie11811]

@notna56 my sister is 11 years old and she knows how to make a 3d fps game in game maker 6!

[bigandrey1]

@cookie11811 Game maker is a retards way of making games.

[notna56]

@cookie11811 how did she learn ??????

[cookie11811]

@notna56 I dont realy know becose she is doing it at her grandmas place

[scarfulify]

@notna56 Absolutely, I'm living proof ;)

[xero907]

[Avizura]

@notna56 A 6 year old can. As long as he/she works on it.

[blenderobsession321]

[cronos72]

@TheHelpingangel

Good question why do people assign the variable "E" for "E"xception :P. I guess one could choose any random less meaningful variable.

[Scarabax17]

what are you using to make this? or is it eclipse?



[SCARHExtendedMags]

@Scarabax17 Yeah, it's eclipse

[Oskar619]

I was starting to program a game based on a diferent tutorial (i know how to program, but im new to graphical enviroment). But, instead of Canvas, it used Jframe. What's exactly the different?

[Catkill666]

@Oskar619 One is a swing component and the other is a AWT. If I remember correctly swing si built on top of AWT so there isn't a big difference.

Canvas was originally ment to display images/graphics so I went with that. JFrame is really a container for objects (which can include images if you want) if you look at a window with the toolbar at the top (to exit etc) that's basically all a JFrame is.

[kylecowan990]

check out my java game made in eclipse..sorce code at link in description

youtube /watch?v=-3I_hUg06Dg

[vpayb2000]

what program are you using?

[MrJester541]

I can't seem to get this to work on netbeans should i get eclipse?

[skullkil07]

what is this name?

[GrandNecro]

im trying to learn and i just dont get any of this code thingy

[88Cortex]

@GrandNecro Start with the basics of programming. Keep it fun. Choose a language; Java is nice. Make a ' hello world ' program and work onward from that :)

Have fun

[Zkrudriverz]

holy shit i really want to make cashual games but this is just impossible X(

[BasiltheBatlord377]

what program is this?

[GalaxyMoose]

@BasiltheBatlord377 obviously it's eclipse

[CillersFan]

Great tut! As I was scrolling through some of the comments I saw one about JavaScript being different from Java.  Can you explain the differences, or someone else could? I never relized they were different, I suppose it's because I only ever learned BASIC XD.

[ruarfff]

@CillersFan Java and JavaScript are two very different programming languages. The term JavaScript was used more as a marketing ploy due to the popularity of Java. They were not developed together in any way. The correct name for JavaScript is ECMAScript. A description of the differences would be very long but basically JavaScript is run in a browser on the client i.e. the computer of whoever is visiting the website that has JavaScript on it. Java runs on computers, servers or as an Applet.

[lucixlr8]

im gonna make runescape using this XD

[kevowitch1994]

how do you make it import cus i cant seem to get it working

[checkzack]

@kevowitch1994 I don't know what compiler software he's running, but you can always hand-code the import statements if the program won't do it for you. Just locate the package containing the classes you want to use (java.awt.Color, java.awt.Graphics).

I find it easy to just import everything in a single package using the * character. (import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; etc.) instead of using multiple import statements on a single package containing multiple classes.

[kevowitch1994]

@checkzack found out that i had made som minor spelling errors... like forgetting to put a letter in capital

[MarioLuigi5959]

Ive Looking For These Tutorials All Time!!! I Making A Online Multiplayer Game!

Its Called Club Puffle! You Will Be The First One To Know When Its Done!!

[gauravdawrani]

Can we use java and flash simultaneously.... to develop a game..??

flash has some powerful features...

[Catkill666]

@gauravdawrani Im sure you can but im not a big we developer so dont know the exact details. Maybe somethign with servlets or beans. Sorry Im not of more help

[bunnykillsu52]

@gauravdawrani no im sorry you couldnt, i know extensive flash and enough java to know that there is absolutely, positively no way that the two could realistically combine in the present.

[gauravdawrani]

@TheHelpingangel ya..

u can think of it as an object of Exception class... that is caught by 'catch' block.. of whichever exception u have found..

[Catkill666]

@TheHelpingangel Just common could be whatever you like - chesse, pie,x, whatever. e for exception I suppose.

[bestkutter]

I lost it after 0:16

[prantare]

what is the point of just importing single items, like java.awt.Canvas instead of java.awt.* ?

the compiler does after all remove all imports that aren't needed so the program wont be slowed down in any way by importing more stuff. maybe the compiling takes abit longer?

[prantare]

great tutorial but I'd love to if you owuld explain everything abit more! like saything "this does that and that does this" instead of just putting everything smack on the window =) thx

[PhysicsLord321]

When i try to run anything in JCreator it says "the JDK home path has not been set"

although i did set it but there are 2 directories to set, and 1 of them doesn't exist. (C:/.../java/jdk1.6.0_20/docs)­.

Can someone plz help me on this. I really would like to learn about java.

[Catkill666]

@PhysicsLord321 It should not point to the docs directory but the one which includes the file javac - try finding that in the java directories and point it there

[dashbyictfd]

I am at the moment trying to develop a pinball game in java, am just starting to loook at collisions and animating graphics, how many tutorials is this over?

[Catkill666]

@dashbyictfd Its over a few there is a new hd set, although work is halted as my sound is broken but will get back to it as soon as :)

[dashbyictfd]

@Catkill666 Ok thanks, I will keep my eye out but if youu could let me know when u start again as I will start to go through them, got so much on now would forget if had to leave 1/2 way through

[Catkill666]

@dashbyictfd Sure thing feel free to subscribe then you will know when they come out as it says on the front page

[MrDead1994]

can you make board games on javascript? like risk

[Catkill666]

@MrDead1994 I dont know ive never used javascript - you can in Java these are two different development languages

[tntxplode]

every time i try to run it says there is no main method

[Catkill666]

@tntxplode Because its not complete yet you have to follow the enxt few videos. :)

[Oop984]

lol you sound like a omar off ivinsble war lol not bein nasty by the way

[warnexus]

btw where are you type all this code and what program or compiler to run the code?

[Catkill666]

The IDE is called eclipse its pretty popular just do a google search for it :) it all ows you to run them without command line

[warnexus]

hey Catkill666, is there a book or website that tells me what those codes do? its a nice tut but its hard for me to understand without the reason behind the codes. how did you get started in java coding? btw do i need to know a lot of math to know how to code java?

[Catkill666]

Emm theres quite alot lol, I would definately recommend having alook at the sun microsystems website theres tutorials on there which are very good for getting started - after that experiment :)

You dont need alot of maths as such yet it depends what your doing, solving linear equations for example is useless unless you can do matrices...used alot for 3D stuff. But you should get by :)

Good luck getting started let me know if i can help in anyway :)

[pip00123]

did you use eclipse!?

[Catkill666]

Yes

[Oop984]

i cant get my java development kit up =[ help plz

[Catkill666]

Whats the exact problem? :)

[Oop984]

welll when i go on notepad i type like thta and theres no colors on em wich means not wrkn probs so i tryed a way to get the thing to work but i cant you seeive download jdk anyway by the way

[Catkill666]

Thats becauseim using "eclipse" IDE, Type it into google :) that highlights syntax for you notepad doesnt

[ShiringMMORPG]

Nice tutorial.

[rhillner]

nice vid, btw, most of your member vars shouldnt be public

[Catkill666]

Yes i know but for speed i thought id be aswell - saves Set/Get functions - its only a small framework so shouldnt cause too many problems hapefully :)

[unstman12]

thank you for this tut!!!

[buypoemod]

nice vid
