Thank you so much for the feedback! I definitely want to look into that book you had mentioned as well I think it is best just starting with Java's integrated game environment.
Would it be more beneficial in the long run to learn LWJGL, or should I stick with the java 2D library? My plan when I go to college it to receive a bachelors in CS.
Hello Java Ranch members, today I was coming up with ideas to do for my senior project. Everyone else I know are making computers, easy enough. Well I was thinking about making a Java video game. I know the basics of Java, but I have never really went farther. I was hoping for my senior project to make a 2D pixel game of some sort. With that in mind I do not know where to start. Should I learn OpenGL or use the panels that Java provides to get my results? Any feedback on this topic would be great! Thanks for your time.
Yeah I am still new to arrays. From the looks of it by the reference I better start over. Thank you all for the input though! I am starting to understand it now.
Hello everyone,
I had recently been trying to get into using double arrays. When I had these two strings in different arrays it ran fine, but when I try to integrate them into one giant array Eclipse says that I have an out of bound error. Thank you all for your time!
Sorry to hear your teacher sucks. What book are you using? Do you understand the book's content when you read it?
The book is called Fundamentals of Java AP Computer Science essentials fourth edition. I can understand parts of the book but a lot of things aren't clear to me. I am more of a hands on person than looking at a book and telling me what to do exactly instead of making it my own way.
Hey guys I have taken a computer programming course in school, and my teacher can not teach. They are literally teaching out of the book saying everything that we read, and I am understanding none of it clearly. The class is being rushed since it has to be squashed into a semester. I came to the forums to ask if anyone knows of any really good books to understand Java more clearly, or any websites to write code. Thank you for your time.
