Re: Messaging/Event System (Idea... Critique?)

I was thinking of implementing this in almost the exact same way. For me I would make the MessageManager a singleton object that acts upon Message components. That way I could make any Entity in my game able to send and recieve messages. I still havn't made a Messaging/Event System, until now I've j...

Re: How have your games evolved since your first?

The first game I made was in BlitzBasic. I guess you could call it a walking simulator. You could walk around a tilemap that had 3 layers. I learned about simple coding like for loops and stuff like that. I also made a basic editor for it. Next I made a pong clone in BlitzBasic. Nothing special, jus...

Yet another Pickin' Sticks

I've been learning Java for a few months. A week ago I started working on my first game with Java. I used GTGE . It's not quite done yet but at this point it's a playable game. You can run around collecting sticks and shooting zombies with lasers. Here's a link to my blog where you can see updates o...

Re: Free development utilities (not a free trial, its all free)

Netbeans isn't on the list. It's very similar to eclipse except I find it's more friendly to Java developers. It has a very nice GUI designer for Java Swing. You can install plug-ins that allow it to recognize C++, Ruby, some other ones too. I thought I'd throw this in here to keep the competition ...

Re: What Computer OS

Ubuntu 10.04 is spankin'! :) I'm currently using Linux Mint 9 which is based off of Ubuntu. Unfortunately Winblows still has a grip on the majority of my hard drive, for gaming and whatnot. :( But Valve is soon launching Steam for Linux, so maybe that will change things.

Re: What projects are you currently working on?

I just started going to school for Java. Next year I'm starting C++. 3D game development looks pretty complicated :shock2:, you guys are doing a good job.

Re: How do YOU comment a source file?

I'm using Java and I love comments! The nice Javadoc generator is similar to doxygen in that it looks for special keywords to add descriptions to classes, fields, and methods in the documentation. Plus you never know, down the road you could forget what your mindset was at the time of writing a bloc...
