Kizzi Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hey guys. Recently started (re)learning Java so I can make games and so on. Anyone else use it? It seems pretty robust to me, and it's easier to get into and start doing graphical things than C++ in my opinion, which is half the reason I've kinda given up with C-based languages for now. I'm also learning it with a friend, and hopefully we'll make some games together, but yeah, that's for another day. So, yeah, discuss Java.

Resident Fascist Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'm gonna need it when I come to program my fighter, so it's badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expelsword Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 [CODE] for(int i = 0; i < structure.length; i++){ //x action } [/CODE] The most useful control structure in the whole language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] [CODE] while(true){ last = now; now = System.currentTimeMillis(); unresolved += now-last; unresolved = Math.min(unresolved, 2000); while(unresolved >= tickStep){ i++; unresolved -= tickStep; } repaint(); } [/CODE] I quite like while loops, really. Edit: That's a short sample from the first program I've started building inside Java, some of which will probably end up being used on my actual projects.

Tentacruel Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Java is alright, but C# is better. And for loops are quite useful, but the most important thing is the overarching logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: By which I mean from what I've seen of it, I don't really like it. Uh, yeah. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 But it's extremely similar to Java. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I dunno, in my head it seems like it combines a lot of the bad things from Java and C++. It just looks like kinda a pain to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
