Java Text - Based Game

Post by sp11k3t3ht3rd »

Alright, I'm teaching my self Java and I decided to make a text based game. Theres not much to it right now. It's a mining game as of right now. You can save and load your inventory but not your gold. Pickaxe's have durability (somewhat). There is a shop and different types of pickaxes(though they have no difference as of now). There is an ore system for getting a random ore each time you go mining. If you want to first video please note that I have changed the code. There isn't an ArrayList with 100 items anymore :oops: . I just use a random number and assign values to the string based on the number. I am also currently going through the process of documenting my code as we speak. I'll probably make a new video soon. I really hope that my future will involve programming in any way. I'm 15 right now, turning 16 in a couple months and I really enjoy programming. Well anyway, here are the videos:

Props on upgrading to notepad++ FTW :)

Last video: The durability goes up? shouldn't it start at say 5000, then go down and when it reaches 0 the mining pick is destroyed :P

I added a new video today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U48f0wqXpqA. I talk in this one going over the changes and stuff. I'll upload part 2 either later tonight or tomorrow. I was talking for 22 minutes so I had to split it up.
