Oh no. I think I did it the hard way 
Going into terminal and typing a bunch of stuff. :emo: Oh well, I’ll just have to remember that for next time. ;D
Congrats, you’re officially a nerd! Haha kidding, but doing it the manual way is important to understand how it works, so you can fix it up if you run into any problems. Btw, remember a JAR file is nothing but a ZIP. You can literally create a zip file, put the classes in it, create the MANIFEST.MF file inside the META-INF folder, rename to .jar and it will actually run! 
So I could have literally just gone : right click -> compress and then rename it? Wow.
Oh well, just one question though; for the Ludum Dare submission timer, do they normally extend the time like they did this year or was this a one time thing?
I think it was special circumstances because to the amount of traffic they were getting. Today I was having so much trouble even posting things. xD
Enter java4k, you’ll do it sooooo many times.
My entry http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-23/?action=preview&uid=8170
Was sick and busy and still managed to scrap something up. What about others? Show your games.
Here my sad thing: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-23/?action=preview&uid=12688
This was my first game I’ve ever made. Made in 13 hours because I started late. I really enjoyed doing a small programming marathon though. I will continue working on this game and try to fix bugs and make the game better. I have only had about 7 months of java experience with about a 3 month inactive period in there. Hopefully you guys will enjoy this for what it’s worth.

PS: I think I just created a new group of people. The ultranoobs! (I’m in it)
I’ve been programming since December, so we’ve been programming for the same time 
You can check my game i’ve posted a few posts above.
About the game…THE GAME SCREEN IS SO FUUUCiUASHAOSAISNG BIG and I can’t see where thing are xD I suggest you to use a lower resolution, just because not everybody has the same size of your monitor.
I’m sorry that the screen’s resolution is too big. I even made it smaller than it originally was. I’ll make a smaller version because it will take a long time to reposition the graphics and remake the levels smaller and stuff. I only made the screen about 1256 x 900. What size of moniter do you have?
Also, I think it’s cool that you have been programming the same amount of time as me. Perhaps we can get together one day and make a small project. Also, sorry there was no sound. I am going to learn how to implement it next.
I also really enjoyed your game. I had a fun time with it. ;D

It’s 1280x800 :S I thought the game screen was bigger xD Anyway I’m not able to collect all the coins because I can’t see where they are haha
Thanks for playing! 
Yeah, maybe we can do something! We could get together in a future LD Jam ,who knows! Keep working
Not true. The zip entry ‘META-INF/MANIFEST.MF’ must be the first* entry and uncompressed. So it’s better to use the tools that make JARs, instead of messing with zip files.
- Second entry if the first entry is the ‘META-INF’ directory.
Could you post a screenshot of what your game looks like on your screen so that I can scale down the game?
Also, could anyone tell me how to enable the maximize button so that all the images resize themselves once the window changes sizes?
I remember someone else told me that before too, but after trying it, it still worked. I created the META-INF folder last to ensure it’s it the last entry. It still worked :S
No single person would build house without tools to just learn how to build house without tools becouse this wont give any concreate skill needed for real life.
If you want to build houses. Read theory a bit then learn to use the tools and then start building houses. Why coding should be any different?

I hope you guys like it. I’ve rated and reviewed all your games if you have a look. I definitely would like to make a game in Java again, so maybe next time. Unity was getting on my nerves this time. Trying to wrangle it to do gravity and collision in weird ways like I did with this (with localized planet gravity) was extremely annoying. I’ve done the same thing in Java and it was less error prone and also easier.
Huh, do any of your guys have a Mac that you can use to test my entry? I don’t know anyone who has one so I wasn’t able to check if it would. I believe that it will, but I don’t know!
@Eli
Thanks for rate. I commented on your entry page about a bug that prevent me to move on. Tell us, what advantage of unity?
