[First Game] Levels [1.2]

WIP games, tools & toy projects
#1

Hi, I’m 14 and have taught myself Java from a variety of different sources on the internet and have decided to start making a game called Levels. this is my first Java game and I’m not very experienced, so obviously some coding will be messy etc. I started working on this small game project on the 17th of September so it’s in very early stages of development. I will continue to develop the game and try to post regular updates as it progresses.

All help will be appreciated and I will try my best to listen to all advice given.

How to play:
Use arrow keys to control the player.
Reach the black hole to finish the level.
(Only 2 levels so far, but more will be added as I’m working on this daily)

Play Here: Play! Sometimes crashes/doesn’t load, I’m unsure why…

Very nice, I would improve the movement myself :o, make it so you can move North-East etc.
Besides that I enjoyed it ::), surprised on how short it was xD

Should include a run.bat (Batch File) with this code inside of it:


@echo off
@color 0a
@title Handling Project
java -jar Levels.JAR
@pause

Tried clicking the Executable .JAR and it wouldn’t run D:

Oh okay, I’ll change that now. For the movement, I changed it as collisions wouldn’t work properly if the character was moving north-east etc, i’m hoping to change that though.

EDIT: Added run.bat, should all work now.

Rather use Java Web Start or provide a shell script for GNU Linux users too.

#5

I’ve managed to make an applet on the web, but it seems to sometimes make my internet browser crash, or not load, then other times it works fine…

#6

Last time I played this game, there weren’t those teleporting circles and menu. It’s even better now. I like where this is going.

By the way, Bucky Roberts. :stuck_out_tongue:

Ahh thankyou!

I know;) I need to find a new character.

#8

Nothing happens when I start it on my Mac. :frowning:

I don’t even get any errors in the terminal.

Here’s my Java version:

[quote]java version “1.7.0_04”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_04-b21)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.0-b21, mixed mode)

I don’t know how to get it to run for mac since it’s just an applet?

#10

Java on Mac is built by Apple. You need to always test it on mac for best user experience.

What I’m saying is, test it on a Mac and find out what’s wrong. It’s better than sitting there and do nothing about your game crashing on Macs.

Cheers and Peace Out!
