My first java game

[MegaVolt]

Well I've finished this game some time ago after a week of programming in java so it could be programmed bad.
The game is called The Maze and all the info is in Html file included in .rar zipped archive.
Well if you want ask and I'll put source code also.

Well if you like this game or dislike it or you know how to improve it's performance feel free to post.

To save some HD space this version doesn't include sound files.

To mods: If you feel that this attachment is too big inform me and I'll remove it.

BTW: now I'm working on a Mario Land 2 remake, almost all of the images are ready and I'll try to release it when it'll be finished.
(all of the pictures I've done are in MS Paint)

Thanks for reading.

Wow pretty nice made.

I can do some Java programming aswell, I'm using visual cafe for that. But I can't make something like you did. All I can make is a calculator and such.

[MegaVolt]

Thanks Chaos.
I've made it with JCreator with all help from the Sun.com help files and used JLayeredPane to operate on images.

Here's the source if you wish to use it.

First thing I wondered was double packing: rar inside a zip? I need to download Java 1.5.0 before I test that game, will take some time.

Oh, and JCreator rulez

Yes it wasn't necesary to doublepack
And JCreator rulez thats for sure

Now I tried it. Not bad, but the character could move faster, it becomes boring very fast.

Yes the character could move faster
(and can if I change some settings in source code),
but the game was done because I was too lazy to write an exam at school
(I wrote this one as replacement for that exam)

I didn't need to do a Java exam project to complete my programming course. Everyone else needed to do a Java program, but when the teacher knew that I was so good (I sometimes taught him some Java :eyeball: ) and I was capable to do some more advanced things, I made a feedback CGI program for students to give feedback of a selected course.

Well it's good to know that teachers can learn something new
from students too

Don't even want to try to talk about a teacher that was supposed to teach us how to use Paint Shop Pro. We needed to show him how to start the program using Start-menu...

1) Maybe on his PC he have a shortcut on desktop
and there wasn't any on desktop at school.
2) Maybe he didn't know that the start menu exist on Windows
(or maybe he has only DOS installed on his PC)

[GODJonez]

He just sucks using computer

[Roux!]

Dude, that's pretty well done... Your code's a frickin' mess though~! I was seriously put off from reading it...

Anyway, nice job... Could be better though...

[GODJonez]

Programs can always be better. I think there is no 'perfect program' in computer world. You can always add some improvements.

Thanks for your opinion Castlevania.
This really makes me feel like I should improve my programming and composition skills.

Yes that's what our teachers always say to us.
