Rock-Paper-Scissors!

[davidllanos22]

Hi everyone! I'm new on this forum and I wanted to show you what I've recently made! It's a little rock-paper-scissors game, now featuring just two colors and retro feel!

It's my first game and I want to know what do you think!

Pics:







How to play:

-Move with W, S, A, D.
-Select with SPACE.
-Return with ESC.


Play it here! (Loads in a few seconds)

Hi. I'm a total noob to game making myself.

I really like the way it looks. I think you did a great job of making it look retro. Maybe you should make the controls clear on the game it's self, as it's not clear unless reading this thread. I think I would have prefered pressing r to select rock, and pressing p to select paper and pressing s to select scissors.

Is that the frame rate displayed in the top corner? Isn't that a bit fast? I thought games were supposed to be like 60 frames per second. It took quite a while to load, and it used up a lot of my processing power. As I say I'm new to this so for all I know it's ok to have frame rate that fast.

Thanks! Well, I thought about using letters to select rock, paper and scissors but then I realised: what about random? xD So I decided to use A-D instead.

And about the fps... there are two ways :1- Fixed time step(fixed about 60fps) and 2-Variable time step (depending on how fast your computer is)

The font style reminded me on really old Gameboy games. I like your game, keep it up :]

That's a common issue. How do you add your components and your listeners?

Really great game btw. Runs smoothly at 2000FPS. I beat the computer easily

Hey! I don't know what do you refer with components(i'm a noob yet xd) and about the listeners I have them on the main class and I add them on the start() method. The inputs are pretty dirty I think, I should have used a separate class or something 

WOW! You have f**king great machine! Jaja It's easy to win , but watch out... it's easy to loose too!

Thanks for playing

So you add the listeners directly onto the applet and do you draw in the paint method of the Applet too or on a separate Component?
By components I mean like the java.awt.Component/javax.swing.JComponent classes.

Noo, everywhing  happens in a canvas and then I add that in the Applet class! So nothing is happening in the applet, it just loads the game D: (I don't know if this is the best way to do it)

[ra4king]

Are you adding the listeners to the applet or the canvas? Also make sure to call:

1	canvas.requestFocusInWindow();

I'm adding the listeners to the canvas. So I've to add that on the applet? That will auto-focus the window?
