Mikhail Rzhanitsa Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Where can I learn how to code in Java besides the official webcite tutorials?! Im not only wanting to make a mod but also develop a game! Quote
Moderators Munaus Posted January 30, 2014 Moderators Posted January 30, 2014 Linky linky! There are most likely better languages to learn than java, which could help making a better game. Quote
dwwojcik Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 ...better languages ... than java,... Really? Like which one? Quote
TwoTails Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Really? Like which one? C++ Is what he is refering to. I think... Quote
Lethosos Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Wait, he asked if there were any water-fowl based Java code that he can learn from. I think there's a duck in Mo'Creatures, but not sure if it's open source for him to look at. Quote
dwwojcik Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 C++ Obviously it's different (I've used both) but how is it better? Quote
Lethosos Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Let's just say that properly sourced wrapper classes and libraries work wonders. *points to Allegro.cc* Quote
dwwojcik Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Ok, well that's outside the scope of what I learned I guess. Quote
Lethosos Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I learned all my C++ making games. Pretty sure I can get my old Asteroids clone working again if I could set up a new MSVC environment on my pooter. Source code (the old one) can be made available, it includes a nice wrapper class for BMP file handling and basic joystick hooks. Quote
Mikhail Rzhanitsa Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 My school does teach C++ but I dont know if it goes with game development Quote
Lethosos Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 It's okay, they do a generalized C++ class before they get us coding games at Full Sail. I can go and see if I still have those labs around, I doubt I still do but at least I know where my code is right now. Quote
dwwojcik Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 My school does 1 semester of C++ (Programming I) and then 1 semester of Java. (Programming II) I've taken both, it's a pretty basic overview. AP Programming is next, a full year of more java. Quote
Mikhail Rzhanitsa Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 it looks like ill just run into proramming, lol. Quote
Ashzification Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Where can I learn how to code in Java besides the official webcite tutorials?! Im not only wanting to make a mod but also develop a game! thenewboston on youtube. As for making mods: VSWE's tutorials, Pahimar's Let's Mod series. Quote
Moderators Munaus Posted April 20, 2014 Moderators Posted April 20, 2014 OP hasn't been around since january, I doubt he'll drop by anyday soon Quote
Ashzification Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 OP hasn't been around since january, I doubt he'll drop by anyday soon meh. When I needed to know, I looked everywhere. So, here's more everywhere Quote
Ysharma Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Java is very useful and simple for a beginner, but if you want to undertake a challenge you can learn a C based language. I use Stephen Prata's C++ book Quote
Lethosos Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 Oddly enough, C++ isn't that hard to learn, just time consuming. Quote
