2D Space Game

Showcase
#1

Hi! ;D

I just wanted to show my first own-made Java-Game.
Please give me some Feedback what i could add to make it better.
I know it’s not much. Just a Minigame.

Description:
2D Space Game is and oldschool-styled Shooter like Space Invaders.

The Goal is to reach 100 kills but it’s getting harder and harder to survive.

Here the Downloadlink:
Space-Game.exe

Why’s it in .exe if it’s a java game?

#3

Jup, I’m on Ubuntu here :expressionless:

#4

I exported it as executable jar and transformed it into an .exe file with a programm (launch4j).
In what Format should i upload it? jar file?

#5

Well, it would be better to package a jar with several run-scripts (and natives if it is using OpenGL) for different OSs. Exe files are meant for Windows, but quite a few people here (myself included) use Linux, or Mac.

Just make scripts named [game].sh, [game].bat alongside your jar and write this in both of them:


java -jar [game].jar

If you are using OpenGL (LWJGL, libGDX, slick) then refer to the natives folder per OS script. More info here.

One of the biggest benefits of Java is mobility, so use it ;).

Hi!
I find a trouble with your game :-\ We can’t go left_up, right_up etc. and shoot at the same time.

#7

Hi,
i tested your Game. For your first game its not so bad, but i have some suggestions which maybe could improve it:

try to make the collisions from your laser and the aliens fit better, the aliens get killed while your shots not really touched them.
the same thing for spaceship+alien collisions.

sometimes the aliens seem to spawn somewhere right on the screen instead of falling from top. Make sure they spawn alltimes above the screen so its looks less buggy i think.

what you think about making the backround scroll slowly with the screen?

Sorry Guys. I’m so busy because of my education.

Thanks for your Feedback!! It helped me very much.
Im working on it right now and i will post the new Version soon :slight_smile:

#10

So here’s the new Version:
I tried to write a better spawning and moving system, so the Enemies dont move into each other.
This time i made a jar file :slight_smile:
Space_Game.jar

Im having some problems with this “background moving thing”.
Dont really have an idea how to code this. Could you help me?

#11

pretty good, keep adding stuff and keep on coding :slight_smile:
