I looked at it and the features just scared me off. Its so professional looking as though designed for a 'AAA' game, not something I want to make. (AAA as in high quality GFX)

I begin my game purely with a vision of what the gfx will look like, normally something a bit difference and easy to cope with. Like 16x16 pixel tiles, which the making of has hugely improved my artwork. Or Id go with something like Black Shades (colour filled boxes); just something you can pull off yourself and has a novel look to it. Doesnt have to be amazing

Hey, thanks. I was wondering about rotating because I like top-down tiles which can be rotated any way and look fine

I like to catch my exceptions so my program does not crash, and System.out lets me know what happened, but I dont want to jack your thread over it, do what you want. Like Kerai said, if you pack the whole thing up I will also happily check it

Hey, nothing jumps out at me and with those files its running, if you can post everything I need to run it exactly as you are (main method and a map file or w/e) then I'll be happy to find out whats wrong

I dont think there is much you can do, I was told 'get creative with buttons'

Bit more info there perhaps

If you post the other classes I'll give it a try and see if I can find the problem

I laughed loudly because it looked like you were totally owning kevglass cas

If you wanna get things done, fast, and get on with making a functioning game or w/e, i really recommend jpct. pc or android.

Can you rotate tiles? I've been making a world on something I smashed together for 6 months and its horrible, this looks much nicer!

Far as I know theyre having a complete re-do of the 3D API so it might be worth waiting (as I am); correct me if I'm wrong people

No one has Mafia (1) as a favourite???

loool I won't er, recommend either because a certain developer will literally jump me.

I'm not the best person to answer, but first step is

the basics under tutorials. will get you started with at least a shape. goodluck

For your 2nd question, I believe it is mostly the same. Most people who ask about learning opengl in java get told C tutorials or w/e will be fine. I think that JOGL and LWJGL all have mostly the same opengl commands, just a slightly different bit of setup/initialization code, nothing major though.

I will sya however that as a compeltely self taught (internet) programmer with no knowledge of any language but java I found it extremely difficult to learn from anything but java tutorials for opengl

^^ I have 17 also lol, seems there is a large enough supply here though

See I couldnt think of a game where this exact situation had occured, thats why I asked. Also with Steam the point is you won't be able to download the games, so you lose them if you format or w/eso still a different situation

I enjoyed the demo (also no gunshot sound)

Didn't manage to complete it, the AI can shoot through corners of walls and have infinite accuracy with fast shots
If you stand right up close to the wheely type ones they cant hit you
Also a bunch of powerups on those posts cant be reached.

You're probably aware of this stuff though, still looks good   (wasnt a fan of the limited viewing angle)

Thanks spog I was going to ask this eventually

Fair enough about on the train. Perhaps this wont be a problem 10 years down the line though, when we are connected no matter where we are.

The stuff about the game servers though, do you know the name of any of the games? I mean its a problem with Steam too, being unable to download them if Steam went under. I would of thought in the case of always online DRM theyd just release a lil patch making it no longer neccesary?

My computer is constantly connected to the internet, I have no problem with always online DRM. Not to tarnish everyone with the same brush but the people IRL who have bitched about this wanted to pirate it, straight up

+1. Still I do like libgdx though, would recommend

would love to do this with speedball 2

netbeans king of IDE

nice. you should post it on the xtremeworlds forum, their engine using sprites of this type

i also immediatly thought of doom, but for some reason so much better looking

i dislike minecraft gfx

if things like maxHP are the same per ant your static one looked fine imo, i'd just roll with it and get on with the game

wow that looks f**cking quality, I love your gfx. some weird futuristic nostalgia thing going on  I think

EDIT is there any name or erm, style of art you're using? any word I can whack into google to see more similar stuff? I rarely see something as nice as this and when i describe the style to others they think im a babbling moron

Loved what was in the video, had no problems with the bloom

the collision method you used is fine. the problem is these iterators (im not familiar with these but i hope what i say is right).

you create these two iterators, then you loop through the bullets. then you loop through all the mobs, but you never recreate the iterator for mobs.
when you come to check the second bullet in the list of bullets, (mobIterator.hasNext())  is now false because you've been through them all and none are left. this is why only the first bullet can collide with mobs.

so adding    mobIterator = mobList.iterator();   right before you cycle through the mob, between lines 173-174, should solve.. i hope..
