How to get started in game programming?

Hi i want to start in java game programming i know basic java threads gui’s and lots of other stuff but i can’t seem to find any good java tutorials that don’t just give you the code but also explain it so thats why i made this thread to see if any of you can help me.

Thx in advance :smiley:

Good luck!

Seems the wiki/pinned thread not work :point:

Pinned threads almost never work. We should have a pop-up that has the pinned thread stuff for the newly registered.

Um it did work for me i had seen it but was just to lazy to read it all so i made a post

i did read it all now and it helped thx :D.

Oh i would however like to ask if anyone has some ideas/suggestions what to make a text based game about cuz im gonna start with a text based game like the thread said so suggestions are welcome.

How about a text-based game about how to make a text-based game?

Well depends on how experienced you are, something good to start out with as a first project would be a “Guess the number” kind of game. Thats atleast how I did it.
After that you could try some kind of simple card game, actually most cardgames comes to life quite well in the console :slight_smile:

When you feel more comfortable you could try and learn some OOP-techniques aswell and involve that into your game, something I belive is good to have a understanding of from the start.
