The original main menu of 'George Takes Flight!'. This will be getting a slight improvement.
As you can see, I'm not particularly great at this stage. But, in my defence, this was the first thing I've ever made. And, I'm sticking to that; because it's my first ever game, and my first ever Java project, I say that it's okay to be crap.
A very early screenshot of 'George Takes Flight!'. This probably won't get much better.
I made the game using Slick2D, a free library based on the LWJGL. I found it relatively easy to use, although lacking in a few features. Still, if you're looking to try out Java game development, it's a brilliant place to start, and the website has some really helpful tutorials. I also used the Eclipse IDE to program the game itself; I tried out Netbeans first, but I couldn't get on with it. Both of these are free!
Not sure what else to say; I wish I'd kept a log of what I'd been up to. Note to self: Keep a log of the development of future projects. Below, there is a link: this allows you to play the first version of George Takes Flight!, and also allows you to view the source (Extract the JAR to view the individual .class files) I'm sure I'll get millions of downloads! ;D

Thought I'd leave you a comment seen as though no one else is going to. Because you're a cunt.
ReplyDeleteLoved the first blog. Although, I do think you should add some puns (I love puns). I'd also like to see you discuss something interesting — not to say this isn't interesting — like religion! That would be awesome. I live for that shit!
Love you, George.
Stay excellent.

Haha, this is mainly just going to be about gaming; it's primarily going to be about me and my 'sort-of-games' :P I'll definitely work on the puns though ;D
ReplyDeleteCheers man!
Ah as long as there puns. ;)
