Does anyone here know any java?? Im in classes my freshman year of college CS maor and they are starting us on Java.. i know how to make classes and do loops and work with objects .. and currently we are working on searching and sorting.. i was just wondering .. since they are keeping it basic.. what i would want to look into to start working on simple games based in java. Thnx for any insight. -X-

- Take a look at all the ways of storing and manipulating graphics. Graphics, Image, VolatileImage, Canvas etc

- Learn what double buffering is because you''ll need to implement it if you want to avoid flickering graphics. (doesn''t take long to learn)

- Make sure you understand the basics first. Running before you can walk always leads to bigger grazes when you fall.

Good Luck

At my school they didn''t start teaching java gui until an OOP class that was usually taken the sophomore year. I didn''t take it. There is alot of example code on my site although the tetris applet is the only one that is commented.
