OpenGL on Android might use 575 when rendering! It doesn't matter if you set it to use 888. However, you can try to enable dithering (GL_DITHER?) and see if that helps?

Also, addAll(...) in ArrayList creates a new array each time before adding the elements!

If you have Desura, I could send you a promo code for free!? Please message me if you like 

Yes, with libgdx you can port to Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, iOS (yes!) & HTML5. 

Have a look at the demos too. superjumper for example has been ported to all platforms that I listed above:

Yes, you can just add listeners to the JPanel (you don't need a JButton) and it should work fine. Anyhow, generally, your code looks it should work, but maybe there is another panel overlapping that's why mouse clicks aren't registering?

I would suggest add one listener to each JPanel/JComponent you want to receive mouse events from. Very hard to maintain if you try to squeeze everything into 1 listener.

If you consider listeners in the "Control" part that's correct. In my opinion listeners are part of the "View" but not the "Control". The listener calls the "Control" element, e.g. your ((BattleScreen)mCurrentScreen).NextTurn().

Academically speaking, considering the listener a control element is probably correct. I generally found the following works a lot easier for me:

• Model (model of your world): your game elements, e.g. World, Bullet, Entities, Player
• Control (to update the model): your game update loop, your screens, loading/saving games etc.
• View (inputs+outputs): GUI, OpenGL, Listeners, Mouse, Joystick, Sound

Any code samples to post that explain it more in detail what you mean?

Fullscreen Mode on OS X is a major pain. Even if you get it to work on OS 10.6 it might not work on OS 10.8.

This works, then just scale your surface to have the resolution you prefer:

You can tell Swing to do active rendering (although the article is in the "fullscreen" section, it works under windowed mode too!):

Here is how to disable passive rendering:

Looks great so far

@kappa: Thanks for the feature 

There are plans to open source JavaFX by the end of this year!

https://blogs.oracle.com/javaone/entry/at_the_java_demogrounds_javafx

yep, things are slowly coming together 

OK, let me give you guys some insights. I just released the game, so some of my comments apply to the predecessor (Tropical Stormfront) I released about half a year ago. 

What Went Right

1) On the technical side the game is implemented using libgdx & OpenGL ES 2.0. Using libgdx development was a breeze! I can highly recommend it.
2) I use getdown for deployment on Desktop; I had some technical problems initially but managed to eventually fix them all. I can definitely recommend it over webstart!
3) Development overall went well. Also, I had a great artist I worked with (Nick Lee) who did an excellent job; also provided some feedback regarding game-design (couldn't have done it without him). Unfortunatley, he is planning to get a full-time job soon so... :/
4) After I implemented the AI I actually enjoyed the game myself (I am aware I am biased). I believe I played the Hawaii invasion about 20x until I finally beat it - not because I had to but just because it was a challenge. Anyhow, I thought the AI turned out pretty well (biased again).
5) The game got a great rating on Android (and generelly very mixed ratings for Desktop: either good or very bad).

What Went Wrong

1) I guess the biggest mistake I made was to create an RTS game. It's a lot of work, especially the real-time AI, balancing the units, animated graphics, real-time collision detection and movement, network-play (cross-platform), making it run at decent speeds on Android etc. I have been asked several times so far to make it a turn-based game. Also, I have been told several times how it wouldn't compare to C&C (mostly from Desktop players). Should have made a turn-based game/platformer instead.
2) Desktop sales (especially for Tropical Stormfront the predecessor) have been abmissal. I don't except it much different for Desert Stormfront. Android sales haven't been great either, but a lot better than desktop. At least on Android the players seem to generally enjoy the game.
3) The name of the game. Also the scenery. Not sure if the Middle East was a wise choice.
4) I should have played more RTS games beforehand. Things have change a lot since I played Red Alert.
5) I should have done a lot more testing with especially Desktop players. I think I'll try to find some testers for my next game a lot earlier on. Not just a few weeks before I am done with the game to get some insights into game controls, functionality etc. On the other hand it takes a lot of time to find willing individals for testing let alone getting useful feedback.


@appel re-gfx: I worked with "Nick Lee" (from London) - great artist. Also very responsive. I believe he used 3D Studio for the units/structures and rendered them out to 2D isometric. The tiles have been done by hand. I used Photoshop to grid them up etc.

Hi, I have just released Desert Stormfront, a real-time strategy game inspired by the turn-based "Classic Empire" wargame by Walter Bright. Units and structures are modeled after the original following a rock-paper-scissors system. Unit movement is in real-time similar to the classic "Command & Conquer" albeit simplified aiming at a game that is easy to learn but difficult to master.

Desert Stormfront takes place in present-time Middle East. The player assumes command of the Western coalition and fights real-time battles for control of cities and oil fields in Iran, Iraq, Saudia Arabia and Afghanistan. Maps are based on real-world locations in the Middle East. The story is fictional (as of this writing). The game supports cross-platform multiplayer matches over LAN and internet including co-op multiplayer.

Features:
- Real-Time Strategy (RTS) in the Middle East
- Single Player and Multiplayer (over the LAN and Internet)
- 30 Campaign Missions incl. Scoring/Rating
- Random Map Generator + Skirmish Maps
- Modes: Attack, Defense, Capture the Flag & Convoy Missions

Release Date: Sept. 26, 2012
Platforms: PC, Mac, Linux, Android & iOS
Available: via game's website (PC, Mac, Linux) | Google Play (Android) | Apple iTunes (iOS)

UPDATE: ported to iOS via libgdx - in iTunes since Nov. 21, 2012!

Thanks for featuring the game! 

The game review is correct - the game controls are simply hideous on Desktop. I have spent a lot of time updating the mouse controls/key shortcuts but it's a guess little late after the game has been reviewed. I'll push up an update later this week. I guess I should have done my research ahead of time 

I added multiplayer too. It's a mistake not adding it no matter if people are actually using it or not. If one of you guys is interested in testing it out, here is some more information:

Publishing the game on Desura worked great! The web site/client are well done in my opinion. There were a few times when I got confused (what's a MCF?) but they guys from Desura helped explaining it all. Uploading all the files took quite some time though. I hope I don't have to go through it again...

I finally managed to release the game on PC/Mac/Linux too!

If you want to try the full version, I can send you a license key for Desura, just ask!

Indeed - we can just hope enough people will join the strike and it will have a big enough effect to both stop SOPA & PIPA.

Yep   I have taken my sites down! And sorry, the Java Game Tome is down too...

Noble Master Games - http://www.noblemaster.com/
Age of Conquest - http://www.ageofconquest.com/
Multiplayer Hub - http://www.multiplayerhub.com/

It's not much though - about 1500 daily visitors that will be affected...

The game has been released on Android! 

http://market.android.com/details?id=com.tropicalstormfront.android.lite

I updated the game description - I need volunteers to test it on Android (please read above) 

@gouessej: yes, it's somewhat similar to Red Alert, although the units are different. Given the memory/graphics/processor etc. limitations on Android, I slightly had to scale it down in scope. 

The goal is to keep it fast enough for Android (+ later iOS), so yes, it should run fast enough on older computers too!

I hired a graphics artist (Nick Lee) for the images. Nick Lee is definitely worth every penny. Highly recommended! Here is his portfolio:

I am actually planning on getting a webstart version ready in the near future! Still, I have to finish some game-play functionality before it's ready for testing. I'll post more in the future.

Yes, it's actually somewhat similar to Red Alert, however very simplified compared to Red Alert!

Mhh, how about that (using imgur instead):
