Troubles, how to get started ?

Game Mechanics
#1

Hi,

I’ve just downloaded the binaries for Windows. I expected a jar file with some classes and perhaps some tutorials. But all I got was a “odejava.dll”. What am I supposed to do with it ?. I looked around the odejava website, but couldn’t find anything that explains this.
I’m totally new to this, so any help or small samples on how to get started would be greatly appreciated.

There is also a .jar to download. You’ll need to download it and add it to your classpath. You can dump the binary into the root directory of your java application. Then check out some of the example source:

http://odejava.org/showsrc.php?src=src/org/odejava/test/simple/HighLevelApiExample.java

Thanks for the tip. However, I just downloaded everything from odejava.org’s release download section.
Even linux releases, and contribution files.
Not a single .jar only some very small example Java files.

Am I on the right download page ? :

Ps, if you care you could take a look at what I’m planning to use it with.

I wanna bring this guy further alive with odejava, if I could just figure it out…

You need both the natives (released every six months or so) and the java code (released whever we make enough changes - often every month).

Get the Windows release here:
https://odejava.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=2191&expandFolder=2191&folderID=1808

And the code here:
https://odejava.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=2192&expandFolder=2192&folderID=2191

There are examples in the second zip file.

I will make this more clear on the odejava.org page.

I also have some documentation in the works about Odejava.

Will.

mmh you’re right - the server is probably down.
you can also download odejava from

odejava.dev.java.net

You have to download both the cvs snapshot and the natives.

Edit: Spamming the threads is not a good way of making yourself welcome. We’re not always checking the forums, so it might take a while for us to answer. (especially over Christmas, where everybody is busy buying presents, preparing stuff…)

Thanks for telling me about the server, I had to renew the domain :-S

Should come back within 24 hours.

Will.
