Here are a few tutorials that will help you get a better understanding of game development in Java. All tutorials are made in that language and we also use Eclipse. Another rule is to make sure that our games work both on Windows and Linux. Each Tutorial have unique parts we need to learn before it works. Our Tower Defence game does not have any player character and we have a top-down view. That means we need no player animation nor movement, but we do need enemy pathfinding.

Our (TBA) Platformer do have a player character. Here we need to master the player animation depending on what we are doing. Running, jumping etc. There will also be checks for line of sight to and from the enemies in the game.

Game loop, inputs, level editing and more are used in both. They won’t be the same, but very similar.

All Tutorials will have code and assets available for download for each episode. Assets will also be provided.
