I am currently developing a text game called Text Attack! (that’s the name)
Here is a screenshot (from eclipse :P)

It is currently in stage Alpha 0.1.1!
Here are some things I am going to do:
Working on: 5 Going to do: 4 Done: 0Not happening: 0
More enemies
Being able to battle more than once.
Boss battle
Saving
Medals for defeating enemies
Checking if it works.
Accounting to your suggestions
General debugging
Special attacks
EDIT: New jar that works!!
My jar is here.
It’s still pretty bad though.
UPDATE ALPHA 0.1.1!
Added two special attacks!

#2

Couldn’t find main class error

#3

That happens with me too. :-*

#4

There is no “Main-Class” entry in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

#5

That’s probably because Eclipse did not provide one damn you Eclipse! Ill try to get one.

#6

O and :smiley: please post a screenshot (it is in the WIP rules :slight_smile: )

#7

If I can get a manifest file on my project. :stuck_out_tongue:

#8

Couldn’t you just create a folder in your .jar called META-INF and put a file called MANIFEST.MF inside with the text


Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: textPack.Battle

Or just add in Main-Class: textPack.Battle into the existing one?

EDIT: Nope

#9

IT WORKS!! ;D

#10

It seems to hang whenever I try to attack the goblin. :slight_smile:

#11

Nothing happens when I enter a or d when I first play.

#12

You should still have a GUI component, even if it’s a text game (use JTextArea/JTextField or whatnot)
running from the command line is pretty clusmy.

#13

Same.

#14

It may be his first game, so the GUI component could be done when the game is completed instead of when it is in development.

#15

Yeah, but basic GUI is very easy, very few lines of code.

#16

masteryoom,

  • Your code is not formatted. If you are using Eclipse simply enter ctrl + shift + f to format/organize your code.
  • I feel like you are using way too many while loops, it makes me nervous.

// From your code.

// You need to use .equals with Strings like so.
if (input.equals("a")) {
	EnDamage = 50;
	key = 1;
}
// This if statement will never be executed.
if (input == "d") {
	PlayerDamage = (PlayerDamage - 25);
	key = 2;
}
// At this point, even with the modified code, the game will either
// exit or run forever, the logic needs adjusting.

/*
 * This is how I would set up the following code, notice
 * variable names start with a lower case letter.
 */
if (input.equals("a") || input.equals("A")) {
	enDamage = 50;
	key = 1;
} else if (input.equals("d") || input.equals("D")) {
	playerDamage -= 25;
	key = 2;
}

When I have more time I can try and help point you in the right direction for your game logic. Otherwise keep at it, text games are great first games to make, good luck.

EDIT: Both Screem’s and actual’s posts are better ways of comparing the input (I find actual’s the most effective though).

#17

I’m changing it. ;D

#18

I’ve changed it! :smiley: and I’ve tested it! ;D All other problems you have had should be fine.

[quote]Congratulations! You beat the goblin! Press enter to end the game

Now when your game is famous, I can be like, “I played Text Attack before it was cool. I was actually the FIRST person to beat it!”
