Code Exchange Guidelines
« on: May 09, 2009, 05:19:17 PM »
Welcome to the GMG Code Exchange!

Please feel free to post any code you feel will be helpful for other users. To keep the boards organized, please be sure to follow the following posting guidelines:
  • Topic names should be of the format: "[Language] Code Description" (i.e. [SC] Simple battle engine)
  • If modifications are made to the code, please update your post/title-- do not start a new thread.
  • Please don't post code for a language that is Windows-only. This is a mac homebrew game community.
  • Enjoy!

Hm no offense to WarHampster and Gandolf but, the code exchange here should be for slightly more complex or useful pieces of code. Creating strings and ints are just basics. Try posting something unique that could help new developers do slightly harder tasks.

Actually, I've been trying to learn Java for awhile and I still haven't even figured out what I need to download to run it, so simple stuff like creating vars are incredibly helpful to me. :)

I'm gonna submit a super simplified V6 template though.

How about all the simple Java stuff gets moved into one thread?

That works. Compile all simple stuff into just one thread. Do you want to do this, or I?

I have to agree with Hendo. This forum is supposed to extend beyond basics, and give meaningful code samples that can be integrated into games.

Printing "Hello World" in assembly is not useful, and initializing variables and printing stuff in Java should be something learned prior to actually using Java.

Can Gandolf and I still make a single topic for simple and random code?

Yes, you may make a random thread. Format the title like this:
