Mikhail Rzhanitsa Posted January 30, 2014 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Munaus Posted January 30, 2014 Moderators Share Posted January 30, 2014 Linky linky! There are most likely better languages to learn than java, which could help making a better game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwwojcik Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 ...better languages ... than java,... Really? Like which one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTails Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Really? Like which one? C++ Is what he is refering to. I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethosos Posted January 30, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwwojcik Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 C++ Obviously it's different (I've used both) but how is it better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethosos Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Let's just say that properly sourced wrapper classes and libraries work wonders. *points to Allegro.cc* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwwojcik Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Ok, well that's outside the scope of what I learned I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethosos Posted January 30, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikhail Rzhanitsa Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 My school does teach C++ but I dont know if it goes with game development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethosos Posted January 31, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwwojcik Posted January 31, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashzification Posted April 20, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ysharma Posted April 20, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethosos Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Oddly enough, C++ isn't that hard to learn, just time consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
