Hello there!

Im new to programming and Java on a higher level and I decided to try to make some games just for fun :slight_smile:

It was really funny and I learned much in the making of them. I decided to put them up here so you can give me some feedback or just your honest opinons!

Game 1: MineSweeper clone, my first game. Done using a 2d array of JPanels :slight_smile: a bit buggy but it´s cool!

Game 2: Tetris clone. Also done using JPanels :slight_smile: I made my own soundtrack so thats why the file is so big. It’s a bit hard on the higher levels cause the control is slow.

I know these games isnt made in the best way, but hey, I’m learning ;D

For my next project Im gonna make a Tower Defense game. I just found out that the GameCanvas class exists which will make it much easier :smiley:
If anyone got any tips to give me allong the way that would be cool.
Peace out!

Both links are spam heavily pop-uppped sites :frowning:

Edit: Doesn’t inspire confidence! New user with 1 post and links to lots of popups & stuff… I didn’t risk downloading the code!

Well both are download sides containing the stuff he mentioned. They are some kind of wired but finally I found the right links there…

sry for putting them up on such lousy upload spaces but it was the only ones I could find.

And btw, who the hell do you think writes viruses in JAVA? ::slight_smile:

anyway, as advice for my next project, the tower defense game:

Which would be best JOGL, LWJGL or just J2d?

Well if you’d want a lot of stuff on screen with some nice alpha blending, and are willing to devote some time to learning how to program efficiently in opengl (i.e. using vertexbuffers over immediate mode) you should go with LWJGL. If you don’t program efficiently, you might find your game can still easily lag if you try to run it on any computers with integrated/really bad graphics cards.

Sorry gtab, maybe I was a bit hasty there, but you should get some webspace and a non-hotmail email address if you want people to take your work seriously :wink:

All java has to do is install them! (or delete system files, &c &c.) There are some twisted people out there!

J2d. Lots of people seem to have problems running openGL stuff…
