Hello. as you can probably tell, I’m new here. Please do not send me hate mail. If I am doing something wrong by posting it, please tell me in a civilized manner.
Anyhow, I am in a rut and I’m so frustrated. I come from a Python background and I understand core Java well. I want to try to make a game (specifically with lwjgl), it’s something I’ve always wanted to try, but I have no clue where to go to learn. I want to learn the process of game development (i.e. how a game loop is constructed, where it goes, how a paint method is constructed, when to make what where, etc…) All the YouTube tutorials I’ve watched are either incomplete, move way to fast, the person teaching them can’t explain stuff in beginners terms, or they’re 10 minutes of “umm…”. I’ve tried online written tutorials, but they don’t explain in beginners terms. I’ve tried finding a good book but most forum posts on good books are full of conflicting opinions, people praising some books with others bashing the same ones. There is no programming course at all at my school either. So I am desperate, about ready to quit. >:( :’(
So what I want to ask is how did YOU learn game development with Java? I need to know the secret. It seems like hundreds of people learned this stuff no problem and here I am searching high and low for a GOOD tutorial with no luck. Any help at all would be VERY much appreciated.
