Homemade 2d Java based game engine
- Install JDK
- Place user code in
ArkidilloEngine/src/userCode
Create a Scene object.
Create a Sprite object, by passing the object its location, an image file, and the Scene object.
Scene and Sprite each have their own trigger functions that can help you program your game logic.
Scene:
- update(): Called each frame
- onCreate(): Called on creation of the Scene
- keyPressed/keyReleased/keyTyed(int keyCode): Triggered for each of these key events
- onCollision(Sprite sprite1, Sprite sprite2): Called when 2 collideable sprites collide
Sprite:
- update(): Called each frame
- keyPressed/keyReleased/keyTyed(int keyCode): Triggered for each of these key events
- setCollideable(boolean collideable): Tell the sprite whether it should be checked for collisions
- onCollision(Sprite sprite1): Called when 2 collideable sprites collide
- Physics API: Various functions that can offload movement calculations to the engine rather than needing to be coded
- Animation API: Various functions that allow you to setup and advance through animation frames
