Re: Java Books

I'm currently studying Java in my CS course. The book that we are using is 'Java for Everyone by Cay S. Horstmann'. The book is very detailed while being written for beginners and is worth checking out. You might also want to check out thenewboston's tutorials http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl-zzrqQ...

Re: Clash of the IDE's

I use VS2010 for c/c++, Notepad++ for web development and Eclipse at the moment for Java. I've just started a CS degree so I have to (re)learn Java but I'm also doing a fair bit of c/c++ on the side. My personal favourite is Visual Studio.

Re: My Character Sprite

im not that good of artist but here's a sample sprite Character_SpriteSave1.png That's a nice sprite :) having loaded it into Paint.net it appears to be 12x27 pixels. Personally I tend to draw sprites with an even width e.g. (8, 16, 32) and then I double that for the height e.g. (8x16, 16x32, 32x64...

Re: Current Project: Beat 'em Up

Looks great! :) I'm guessing that you are using C# and XNA? I recognize that placeholder icon in the left hand corner of the window. I'm looking forward to seeing more :).

Re: Rate my sprite/advice needed

That is a really nice sprite. :) If you want some criticism I have some suggestions 1. the left side of the body is a straight line while on your draft it is curved. 2. the left side of the right leg is again a straight line not curved like the draft. 3. the tv set and some parts of the body could b...

Re: What projects are you currently working on?

I've just started learning some java as a preparation for going back to college(next week). I must have spent an hour trying to find an alternate download for the developer kit as Oracle seem to have somehow broken half the downloads on their site.

Re: Good Sprite Application

Re: Movies with autistic lead characters

One of my favourite films 'Cube' has an autistic character in it and while he isn't really the lead character he is the most important character as you find out. Might be what you're after if I come up with any others I'll let you know ;).
