Is there intentionally a white border on the right, and bottom of the game window? It doesn't always do it but most of the time I see a white border on both sizes of the game.

Large size: LegendsOfYore 800x600.jpg
Normal Size: LegendsOfYour Normal.jpg

Assuming that LoY uses the same method for creating a JFrame and adding the Canvas to it as your Space Invaders tutorial I fixed it. It was a really simple fix actually, the problem was you were making the JFrame non-re-sizable after you called pack on it. So doing this fixed it.

EDIT: I assume you use the same method because I was having the same bug with the Space Invaders tutorial. It at least fixes it for the tutorial, I have no way of knowing if this will work in LoY since there is no source for it

container.setResizable(false); container.pack();

Also I'm just curious why you get the content pane of the JFrame, call setPrefferedSize() on the content pane and then add your canvas to to the content pane. I've never seen it done that way, is there advantages to that?

[kevglass]

Don't think its the same issue. As to why the tutorial is why it is, it's lost in the long distance thought past

The game has been uploaded loads, but instead of coding tonight I spent time creating my first ever video:

Was a great way to get down time.

Wowzers, that's a lot of players. Congrats!

You're one of the first one to crack the android market, and THE first JGO guy to conquer the iphone market

[kevglass]

Not sure I'd call either cracked or conquered, but it's progress at least.

You deserve it! It's nice to see a game evolving like this.
God knows I've wasted enough much time playing it...

[kevglass]

There's been a lot of updates since I last posted, not least that I now charge on the desktop/applet the same way as on mobiles. I'm also giving non-game affecting perks to people who donate a bit more (dedicated statue, gravestone etc).

Just added pets which are a lot of fun.

One other interesting bit, I've just got GWT working to automatically convert Legends of Yore into a Java Script version using HTML Canvas:

Wow thats nice! I haven't used GWT before, but was it difficult to convert it to JS?

[kevglass]

Honestly, no - it took a couple of evenings and most of the work was learning how to run GWT from the command line (I have the whole of Legends in ant builds).

Food for thought: ascension & limited time items (avail. via donation)

[Roquen]

FYI: You're currently the "featured" roguelike at RogueBasin.

[kevglass]

Just uploaded the v1000 of Legends of Yore! To celebrate there's a special item in game that will only be there for a limited time!

Cheers,

Kev

[kevglass]

Still progressing nicely on this, more platforms and the rest of the world is in progress.

Got a mention in Edge magazine this month too!



Cheers,

Kev

[SimonH]

Nice! Have you thought of angling for a mention on Indiegames?

[kevglass]

Yeah, unfortunately TimW hasn't been able to get the game to play on his system he says.
