So, recently some p2 has gotten into java. I have put together this code to help him figure out how to do stuff with the Java 2D api. This excample will display a magenta square that will follow your cursor.

Nice but not meaning to confuse young p2 - the key listener stuff..... and that big array of booleans
public static final boolean[] keyDown = new boolean[65536];

aren't really needed for the example. for simplicity's sake, you could take them out.

why so many bools in that array by the way??

Heey, just because I suck at Java it doesn't mean I'm a little kid  ;D

random internet quote: I swear it, it she ever says I'm too childish, she'll never get her nose back!


I guess every key got a number and it's a bool array to check for each key separately?
But that still qouldnt explain why there are that many bools in the array xD

Well not many people see the value in having as bare-bones code as possible, ALWAYS, as a starting point. I swear by that (in most instances).

If you're not going to use that code (definitely not going to use) take it out. Or you might leave it in in this case.  ;)

I dont recommend using awt for anythkng serious. If you want to make a game in java you shoulf use either lwjgl (or jogl) directly or libGDX if you want helper functions. AWT is really slow.

Also: please post big chunks if code via a pastebin link, or put them in a
Spoiler


code

tag.

But for a 2D tilemap RPG game?
u/Snektron October 18, 2016, 08:38:56 AM
Why not? libGDX not only supports 2D but also had an implementation for Tiled

Nice but not meaning to confuse young p2 - the key listener stuff..... and that big array of booleans
public static final boolean[] keyDown = new boolean[65536];

aren't really needed for the example. for simplicity's sake, you could take them out.

why so many bools in that array by the way??
Each value represents a key. You dont need every single key so its a bit overkill :P
The key constants are defined here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/event/KeyEvent.html
So, in order to check if, for example, the "left arrow" key is down, do keyDown[KeyEvent.VK_LEFT];

Either way you scroll either the page or the code box to read the code, so i guess a spoiler will do :P

I second this. Learning awt and such isn't useful if you're going to eventually just use an external library anyways. Also, taking a look at libGDX it gives you a lot of neat features. Tiled support is also a major plus.

cool so it's like, virtual key codes. nice
