To Be Done

[ashish2199]

I have uploaded initial code for the repository.
I am using Netbeans 8.2 with JDK 1.8.
I hope you would be able to figure out how to import this project to your choice IDE and run it.

I have implemented a animation for walking in the downward direction.

Here are some things which we need to do for now

• Try to figure out if there could be a better for making animations. The approach I have used now feels length, we need a approach that is more concise and elegant.
• Implement remaining animations for player to walking in left , right and up direction.
• Registering keyboard inputs and using it them to make the character walk across the screen using arrow keys for now.
• Dividing the sprite sheet into individual images so that we don't have to deal with cropping. What do you guys thinks ? A single big sprite sheet or set of images.

Some other tasks which are always helpful to the project.

• Adding comments to code wherever necessary
• Refactoring and formatting of the code.
• Contributing to ReadMe and Wiki of this repository.

What we need to achieve is walking of player across the game screen.

If you have any queries/suggestions then comment down below

Sorry guys, I wont be able to give much time on weekday for this project because of my job.
If any experienced folks see something you can contribute to or provide your opinion on then please do.

Does anyone use eclipse? There are lots of errors when I try to import it.

@llllllxu It is supposed to be a netbean project. @ashish2199 Maybe you should convert this project to maven?

Okay, I will try to use as a maven project.

Just a note. I'm using netbeans as well and had errors when I initially fetched the repo. I had to manually select the 1.8 jdk which corrected all errors.

[ashish2199]

@llllllxu
It maybe that you are using a older JDK or eclipse version.

We will be using JavaFX 8 which is a part of JDK 8.

I cloned the project and opened in it Eclipse Oxygen and didn't get any errors.

Did anyone else get error on opening the project ?

[lyx13710]

@ashish2199 I got no serious error in Intellij. Can run the program fine without any modification. Btw, shouldn't we open a new issue for this one?

[CiaranRoft]

Got it up and running in Netbeans, no major problems!

[ashish2199]

@lyx13710 Yeah we should. It will help others who face similar issues.

[HarrisJT]

I suggest Google style which can be found on github and imported into editors to autoformat.

[lyx13710]

I found a stackoverflow Q&A which I think is great to implement animation. I'm posting the link here in case you guys are interested. Maybe I'll try to implement it tomorrow.

Thank you guys. It works now.

Bear with me, guys. I'm very new to Java and am really glad Ashish created this project. That said, I'm having difficulty wrapping my head around the Entity class and how the other player/ai/stationary objects will inherit from that interface. Any chance some of you have experience creating an UML to explain?
From my (limited) understanding, I see the Entity interface as having:
a position(x, y)
boolean moveable
health
image/sprite

Player would implement Entity and add
void move(event e)???
animate(Direction direction)
attack(dropBomb?)

I realize this is basic and incomplete... I'm willing to learn how to create an UML with easyUML1(netbeans plugin) if no one knows how to but will need a more fleshed-out direction to start.

It seems to me that we'll need to have a basic 'player' implementation before we can set the movement and direction efficiently.

Again, I'm a beginner, and am happy that this was posted in the first place.

Proposed a change the animation system, let me know what you guys think. :)

[lyx13710]

@CoreyHendrey Having a separate sprite model and animator class might be a good idea. I was already planning to do that last night.

[ashish2199]

@lyx13710 I didn't understand as to what exactly you refer to by that.
If you wanted to ask my view on changes proposed by Corey, I feel he has done a lot of things. I am at present analyzing them as to whether the approach taken is good or not in the long run.

[StewartWallace1115]

What class should I put character movement? In the Direction class?

[ItsStolas]

Depends. If Ashish accepts my PR it’ll probably be in CharacterEntity.

[ashish2199]

@StewartWallace1115 what do you refer by character movement ? key events handling or movement of player that is the animation that player will use to walk. I didnt understand.
If anyone else understood please clarify.

Now we don't have character entity. The event handling code will go into Eventhandler class in the game controller package.
