[Java 2D RPG Platformer (First coding spree)] *closed*

WIP games, tools & toy projects
#1

Haven’t really came up with a Name for this at the moment, just went on a 1-3 day coding spree to see what i could add in a little 2D game =D.

Start this off by listing the following:
NONE of these sprites are mine, (Characters+Tiles) haven’t gotten into pixel art/sprite creating at the moment.

This is the first game I’ve actually made in java, 100% self work (not including my call for help on 2D animation here).

Here’s some pictures:

Things that have been added:
Sprites.
Sprite Animation (Running,Attacking,Fire).
Frame Clipping.
Enabling FullScreen(:persecutioncomplex:).
Drawing Transparent Sprites.
NPC Variables. (Health, Level)
Player Variables (Mana,Health,Cash).

Allthough in my head it seems like alot more, sitting here looking at that list its not, I can see it’s a great start.

Main reason for me posting this project on here is the following:
I’d like to get some feedback on gameplay from members of this community, (Glitches, Nice++, Improvements).
All that comes with the download link below is the .jar (ChronicPackage), a .bat to launch the .jar, and a folder called ‘Cache’ (Sprites).

MediaFire Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?8iac6k0lrszx3za

MegaUpload Download Link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZFOR90ON

Thanks for reading, (hopefully playing), feed me feedback please ;D ;D ;D

I am getting a virus warning from avast :cranky: I normally trust mediafire. Could you try uploading it at another place too?
The sprite animations look cool from the preview, although the map is quite empty. Maybe you could add some more scenery, maybe some buildings etc

#3

Indeed, the only objects at the moment are 2 trees.
LOL @ 550 hand written 1 by 1 tiles ._. <— (need a faster method…)

VIRUS NO.
I can try megaUpload, one second.
(If you’re AV is telling you a virus from mediafire as default… wtf)?
Edit: Never mind, your av could just detect a java related program as a java drive by <— (the word we never speak).

#4

Yeah, I’m sure there isn’t a virus in your game. It must be the site.

#5

Well it runs fine for me, I’m using Microsoft Security Essentials (which EVERYONE should use ;D) and no virus detection :stuck_out_tongue:

That’s quite an impressive first game, you’re off to a really great start! However, something like this isn’t called a platformer. Platformer is more like…Super Mario Bros :wink:

#6

Thanks, didn’t know that, (ruined my motto) D:<

I do remember there was a way of drawing faster tiles something like:

for (int i = 0; i < tile.width; i++) {
g2d.drawImage(tile, i, y, null);
//Something like this, ^ But it would draw a tile every new (size of sprite) 32, and just repeat.
}

@ra4king
AVG!

store data representing map in array, can be 1D or 2D. For 1D


for (int i=0; i<tiles.length; i++){
g2d.drawImage(tiles[i], i % ROW * TILE.WIDTH, i / ROW * TILE>HEIGHT, null);
}
