Fiction. Java-Gaming.org - home of the largest java game developer community. Basic Game. EDIT: Ok, I think I have found a good solution.

Thanks anyway Hi, Gudradain, I'm new on the forums here, and found the place from a google serch that got me to this tutorial. I have been playing around with the code for your game loop, and have started working on a basic space RTS where you pilot a space ship around a solar system. At the moment its only a very rudimentary graphics and physics engine based around your code. I have been up all night implimenting a 2D camera class using AffineTransform that alows zooming and scrolling the map. I muss confess, i'm new to the Java game scene, having come from a few years experience with XNA/C# game programing, and am a little uncerten how all the mouse event listening works in Java. I would be verry greatfull if you could explain what the MouseControl class is sposed to do, and how to use this to detect dragging and wheel events, and maybe keyPresses? Thankyou very much for an already fantastic tutorial! Matt Taylor.

Laser FX [OpenGL/LibGDX] Hey Guys, First post here, and thought I'd immediately start by contributing, the following is my blogpost about how I added Laser FX using OpenGL to our game: And the youtube link: A couple of weeks ago I started thinking on how to integrate some nice lasers fx in our game, Prototype Defense.After searching on the internet for some guidelines on the subject, I found a single post on a dev's blog; Cliffski's.Sadly however, he merely gave an outline on the subject, without any real implementation or specifics.

After implementing his idea, I started trying to enhance and expand it; and this is how I did it. Pro Tip #1: Whenever you are working with OpenGL, and designing effects; learn to use the Hot Plug feature of your desired IDE. Laser FX 101To create laser fx in your game, you essentially need 3 sprites: Start Cap background; The initial blast coming from the nozzleMiddle Section: The repeatable part of your laserEnd Cap: The end part of your laser.

So now we have 7 sprites: Middle Section. Android Game Development Tutorials. Some months ago we received an email from a fellow Java developer, Tamas Jano, asking to be part of our JCG partners program.

To our surprise he maintains a blog named “Against The Grain” debating about game development for the Android platform. I have been reading all of his articles since then and I must admit that his writings have been an inspiration and a motivation for me and my colleagues here at Java Code Geeks so as to start developing our first game for the Android platform. With this post I would like to present Tamas‘s work to our community hoping that you will be inspired and motivated just like we did!

What follows is a portion of Tamas‘s introductory article titled as “A little motivation and what’s the idea behind all this.” I am certain that after reading it you will realize (just like I did) that you have many many things in common with this guy! First of all I know no great coder who is not interested in games. Where is the game you dreamed of doing 10 years ago? Byron.
