How Do I Expand My Game?

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

So, I am new here, and the main reason why I came is because I need help. I have a game I’ve been working on as a final project, a sort of rpg, but I actually am very invested in it. But, it’s only text-based, and I’d like to take the next step and move the game out of the console, but I just can never seem to understand graphics, menus, and everything else! I had something before, but I lost it. So anyway, if someone could give me an idea on what the next step would be, that would be good.

Now I’m confused. I just posted this, but who is wiki duke?

#3

Well, you posted it in the “Java Gaming Wiki” section, if you look at the other entries there, they’re all written by wiki Duke, i think it’s an account that functions as a wiki system

#4

oh. Well, do you have any idea how I can figure out my problem?

#5

Firstly delete this post and move it to the newbie questions section. This isn’t a wiki article.

#6

But then how do I do that?! :persecutioncomplex:

Moderator to the rescue I suppose…

Alright, moved and edited to reduce confusion.

It’s funny how everyone forgot about the OP’s question, lol.

Anyways, if you want to use Java2D, try this video series

and if you want to start from a library, I’d recommend LibGDX.

You don’t. NEVER use Java2D, even if you’re just a beginner. It will corrupt your mind and soul. Start with Slick2D (warning: deprecated, buggy, and no longer in development) or with LibGDX.

EDIT: fixed some misspellings
