Hai,
I have an opportunity to earn some extra uni credits and thought I’d fulfill some of your (newbies) potential desires. The mission is to make 3 different programs and either write an additional essay about their development or make a video about them. I’ve chosen the easiest way out and simply film the coding process and talk over it afterwards.
The programs and language of choice are pretty much whatever except the programs have to differ from each other. I’ve chosen Java as the language, quite obviously, without external libraries.
This is a 3 period long course so I’ve got lots of time - about 5 months (until May 2014). So if any of you newcomers have requests for specific programs/games you would like to see coded from scratch and then have a guy trying to explain what he is coding and why, and for what reason - then post some suggestions/requests. I don’t expect these to be helpful nor interesting for advanced Java developers.
Everything goes except for 3d applications. That leaves things like 2d games, various programs, networking etc is all OK. I’m focusing on the mechanics and the code here so don’t expect great graphics or any kind of story. And as I already mentioned I will be using “bare bones” Java without external libs like libGDX, LWJGL or Slick.
