Me and edman are making a game ! -Need a few coders experienced in java

Beta testers = people that want to be important.

The only time you need "beta testing" is when it's a game like Call of Duty where an exploit will be found and abused within hours of the release.

Code: (Main) [Select]

package RPG;

import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.event.*;

import javax.swing.ImageIcon;

public class Char {
int x, dx, y, dy;
Image rollin;

public Char() {
ImageIcon i = new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\Edward\\Desktop\\stuffs\\rollin.gif");
rollin = i.getImage();
x = 10;
y = -172;
}

public void move(){
x = x + dx;
y = y + dy;
}
public int getX(){
return x;
}
public int getY(){
return y;
}

public Image getImage(){
return rollin;
}
public void keyPressed (KeyEvent e){
int key = e.getKeyCode();

if (key == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT);
dx = -1;
if (key == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT);
dy = 1;
}
public void keyReleased (KeyEvent e){
int key = e.getKeyCode();

if (key == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT);
dx = 0;
if (key == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT);
dy = 0;
}
}

[patton360]

add grimlock as a boss!

Are you working on a character sprite or is it just going to be a square?

[Edman]

okay, I need someone to tell me how to fix that ho of code

[tails]

Those are some tiny icons, Will they be up-scaled?

[Extrude]

"dx = -1" is not a valid way to move. It just sets dx to -1.

It should be

Code: (Main) [Select]

package RPG;

import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.event.*;

import javax.swing.ImageIcon;

public class Char {
int x, dx, y, dy;
Image rollin;

public Char() {
ImageIcon i = new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\Edward\\Desktop\\stuffs\\rollin.gif");
rollin = i.getImage();
x = 10;
y = -172;
}

public void move(){
x = x + dx;
y = y + dy;
}
public int getX(){
return x;
}
public int getY(){
return y;
}

public Image getImage(){
return rollin;
}
public void keyPressed (KeyEvent e){
int key = e.getKeyCode();

if (key == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT);
dx = dx-1;
if (key == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT);
dy = dy+1;
}

// public void keyReleased (KeyEvent e){
// int key = e.getKeyCode();
//
// if (key == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT);
// dx = 0;
// if (key == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT);
// dy = 0;
// }

}

See, when you begin to make a game, you kind of have to know how to make a game first.

[Edman]

That didn't work.

[Extrude]

You buttforgeted the code pretty hard.

Code: [Select]

public void move(){
x = x + dx;
y = y + dy;
}

That may be part of the problem as well, but I can't really tell.

[IkeTheGeneric]

The character sprite so far is the Magical Mercury Ball

[Extrude]

Ok, you need some tutorials pretty badly. You can't use animated gif images.

To make looping animations you can update add on to a variable every update pass, and change the animated image every 20-30 updates.

mhmm, extrude, do you have a skype
