2d Games Java Language

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on the multiplayer game "Altitude," which was developed using Java and the Lightweight Java Game Library (LWJGL). Participants explore the feasibility of creating a cost-effective mock-up of "Altitude" using Java for distribution on Android. The conversation highlights the potential for using LWJGL to replicate similar game mechanics and graphics. Additionally, there is an emphasis on the importance of understanding the original game's coding structure and mechanics to effectively create a mock-up that captures the essence of the gameplay. The viability of distributing such a project on Android is also considered, with a focus on the technical requirements and challenges involved in game development for mobile platforms.

Dunno if anyone have played a massive successful game called "Altitude", it's a multiplayer game, I have no idea what language it is coded, but I want to know is it possible to code a cheap mock up of the game with Java? And distribute it on Android?

Thread 'Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86'

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...

Thread 'Learning data structures and algorithms in different programming languages'

I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
