I just wanted to post a quick update. I first of all wanted to say thanks to everyone for being so welcoming and for the great advice.
Yesterday I had little to no experience with game programming and now I have my first working game!
It’s very simple right now but I have really enjoyed making it and have learnt so much and my programming skills are becoming better already. I’ve even added some cool music to my game which is pretty nice. Below is a download for my game if you want a go. Like I said, it’s really basic but I’m proud of it as my first game and now… I’m going back to programming ;D
Just a heads up, the game does get faster as your score increases
like I said, it’s still a work in progress
Okay… For some reason the runnable Jar has gone weird and won’t work unless the res folder is in the same area? So because of this, the zip file comes with the res pack
just click to run http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=14287848914655492090
