  12. Groups • Everyone pitches a game idea • We select best ideas, form groups around ideas • You can ditch the idea you’ve pitched for another groupeven though it was chosen!

  13. Groups • No free lunch, everybody have to contribute • Grading will be on contribution • I will collect reports on who did what

  14. Suggested Development Environment • Any OS • Java and Eclipse (you’ll thank me later) • Slick2D game library • Easy to use • Has many extensions • Tiled map editor! • Particle effects • Actually used • 2D Games • I will support you with issues

  15. Alternative Development Environments • Panda 3D (Python) • Microsoft XNA (C#) • Unity 3D (C#) • Gideros (Turkish! Lua) • jMonkeyEngine (also Java) • No NIHS!

  16. Life is Short, Use Libs • I could teach you DirectX or OpenGL. • You wouldn’t have time to create a game.
