Well before I get to the subject I'll give you guys a small update. School has been frustrating but very productive. In my video game design class I was assigned a group of ten people since we were considered the best in the class to produce a game on World War II with a month deadline. What we created was a barely functional third person shooter, regardless we still got a lot done.
Now I'm beginning my Junior year in which we'll be given three periods dedicated to game design.
- 3D Animation II
- Video Game Design II
- Video Game Lab
As of now, the teacher has requested that I along with a few other top students are to learn Java over the summer so we can avoid his lectures and do our own thing. So far I haven't been very productive and I've been busy tackling more "important manners". *cough* Dark Souls *cough*
Finally I decided to download Netbeans as well as some PDFs to get started. I'm having a hard time getting acquainted with Java since Javascript is structured differently. The only reference I have to remotely compare Java to is C# and even then I'm really bad with both languages.
If anyone has good tutorials or could even teach me themselves, I'd greatly appreciate it.
