2	Game Development / Newbie & Debugging Questions / Re: Additional work to get Applets to run on a MAC ?	on: 2010-08-15 16:34:07
Nothing works. I was reading on it online and apparently It'll work if I compile my source code on a MAC Computer. I don't have a MAC so I'll look around some more and let you guys know If I find anything.

Game Development / Newbie & Debugging Questions / Re: Additional work to get Applets to run on a MAC ?

on: 2010-08-10 16:25:46

I tested the console on Windows and I was able to see the trace of any exceptions I created. On a mac the console doesn't provide any feedback.

This is the source code for the Applet. It adds 2 numbers and displays the progress on the console.

This is what MAC Users get with my Applet, but they're able to run other applets. Also He doesn't get an exception.

5	Game Development / Newbie & Debugging Questions / Additional work to get Applets to run on a MAC ?	on: 2010-08-10 12:03:39
I created and applet which works fine on Windows, but users on a MAC get a red X. Is there anything special that I have to do to my source code or HTML code to get MAC users to use my applet ?

6	Game Development / Newbie & Debugging Questions / Re: Accessing Images inside a Jar File	on: 2010-02-11 04:52:25
I figured it out. It turns out we can make Jar Objects.

7	Game Development / Newbie & Debugging Questions / Accessing Images inside a Jar File	on: 2010-02-11 01:33:19
Let's say I put a Folder named "Images" with Image1.jpg inside a Jar File named ImageJar. Then I drop the Jar file in my C:\ Directory. How will I be able to contact the Jar, Get inside It's Images folder and load up Image1.jpg ? Will it be something like this ? String ImageFile = "C:/ImageJar/Images/Image1.jpg"; URL ImageURL = getClass().getResource(ImageFile); Image Picture = new ImageIcon(ImageURL).getImage();

8	Game Development / Newbie & Debugging Questions / Re: Jar File Image Loading Problem	on: 2010-02-10 02:27:54
This piece of code did it for me.... URL imageURL = getClass().getResource(“ImageDirectory/ImageFile.jpg”); Image Picture = new ImageIcon(imageURL).getImage(); Thanks Zoto.

9	Game Development / Newbie & Debugging Questions / Jar File Image Loading Problem	on: 2010-02-09 23:09:42
I just learned how to create Executable jar Files and package Folders into Jar files. The problem I have is that my Executable jar file loads the Image in the directory in which it was created, but once I move it somewhere else It doesn't load the Image.

10	Java Game APIs & Engines / Java 2D / Re: Drawing from Left to Right ?	on: 2010-01-21 06:08:07
That's a good Idea. I'll try that. Thanks.

11	Java Game APIs & Engines / Java 2D / Re: Drawing from Left to Right ?	on: 2010-01-21 01:26:23
This is the problem I'm having... The character in my game can dash. When he dashes to the left, and stops he stops where he is in the screen. Now when I dash to the right, and he stops he appears in the last position of the smoke (The Yellow Part). He even flashes as he dashes to the right. Watch the streaming Video to see it in action VIDEO = http://www.screentoaster.com/watch/stUE9dQ0RIR19bQF5YWl5QUVBW/glitch This is why I think the problem is coming from Javas default way of drawing which is from Left to Right. So making it draw from Right to Left when the character is looking to the right might fix the problem, I'm just not sure how to switch it and where to implement this. My draw statement looks like this... g.drawImage(MasterGX.getImage(), (int)MasterGX.getX() , (int)MasterGX.getY(), MasterGX.getWidth(),MasterGX.getHeight(), null); NOTE : "MasterGX" is the characters Name.

12	Java Game APIs & Engines / Java 2D / Drawing from Left to Right ?	on: 2010-01-19 12:03:45
When you draw in Java it automatically draws from Left to Right. How can I invert this so the sprites are drawn from Right to Left ?

Quote from: cylab on 2009-06-07 22:23:45 I have no idea about Eclipse, but in Netbeans you can setup your project to be runnable via webstart. But changing an IDE just because of webstart support might be a bit overkill, since understanding the guts of webstart/jnlp wouldn't be bad anyway. I'll try it manually, and if that doesn't work I'll switch to NetBeans lol I just don't know where to use those commands posted in the tutorial

Thanks CaptainJester. and where do I put these commands ? lol

Hey nice game. I noticed that when I try to run in the opposite direction he has a delay before he starts to move. The problem might be that you have these calculations inside the Key Listener class so moving them out of there should make it smoother. I also have a game like this but I don't know how to turn it into a JNLP executable like you did. Can anyone show me a tutorial that shows me how ? Thanks.

I'm using Eclipse 3.2. What are you using ?

25	Game Development / Game Play & Game Design / Re: Java 2D Fighting game	on: 2008-06-15 18:46:12
Make a Player Object that contains an Animation. and inside it have a Method that changes the Animation when a certain Button is pressed. Make sure all the Animations are loaded as soon as the program starts to run.

Quote from: fletchergames on 2008-06-07 16:24:44 The tile map isn't a component. You just create a 2d array of tiles. And then draw them. Typically, you would draw them within the frame's paintComponent method if you have everything in a frame. The book "Developing Games in Java" by David Brackeen shows you all the basics of programming a 2d tile-based platformer. Thanks for the tip.I was able to do What you said. I created a Text file that represents a Map then It's read and the corresponding Letter in the text file will copy the corresponding Tile to a 2D Image Array. Then I drew this 2D Image Array into the screen and my Animation is moving fine inside it. Do you have any Ideas on how to make the camera scroll

27	Java Game APIs & Engines / Java 2D / Re: 2D Side Scroller Question	on: 2008-06-08 05:23:29
Yeah that's the book I'm reading. I was doing fine until I reached chapter 5 where he talks about tile maps. I'll just re-read till I understand or something.

28	Game Development / Newbie & Debugging Questions / Re: question about JARs within JARs	on: 2008-06-07 03:55:36
I'm also creating a game, and I have an Animation that moves freely inside a frame. I'm trying to add a side scrolling tile map, but I'm kind of stuck there. Anyways, I test it with my controller using a program called "Joy To Key" it transfers controller input into keyboard presses when you configure it. If what you want to do is not possible this can serve as a second option.

29	Java Game APIs & Engines / Java 2D / 2D Side Scroller Question	on: 2008-06-06 19:08:53
I'm trying to make a game and I currently have an Animation that moves around and jumps inside a 800x600 frame. I want to add this animation inside a 2D Tile based environment (Sort of like Mario Bros. ). Do I have to ditch the frame, and use the Tile Map ? or the Tile Map goes inside the frame ? Can anyone tell me How to get started in making a Tile Based Map for me to put the Animation ? Thanks
