Game development strategies
Does anyone have any good strategies or articles on how games are developed? I am very weak in the area of game development with Java. I have only got into a simple area of Java2D but I need more material. So, if you have any great articles or thoughts on Java Game Development and the strategies that you use please feel free to share them...
Thanks in adavance...

Where can I find a good tutorial for mobile game developement with J2ME ?
Hi All,
I'm completely new to J2ME programming. But I have past experience on J2SE developement. Now I would like to know that where can I find a good tutorial for mobile game developement with J2ME ?
I'll be very greatful if I can find a useful step-by-step tutorial (eg. "The Java Tutorial" for J2SE)
Please point me ot the direction.
Thanks
ZuriJAckshoTibook-widgets.com have a free tutorial book in the iBooks store. Search for "Create your first interactive book using iBooks Author" they also sell widgets.
I dont have any connection - I found their eBook in the store long ago and used it to learn more about iBA.
The best advice though, is be patient, go back over the process step by step, I cannot access the Help files for some reason.. but i am sure its in their. -

AS3+PHP Game Development Speed
Dear All,
I'm an As2 game developer but my new prj need to done with as3.So one thing that I want to make sure is
" Will the game speed slow if I place the contents and imgaes into the stage as in AS2 ?"
As I planned to use OOP class.And confused that all those mcs should be place directly into timeline or should attach from as files?
Thanks in advance!It depends.
If there are moments in your game were 50+ objects are getting animated, faded etc. on stage and your game runs fullscreen and uses bitmaps it certainly will slow down if you put all things on the timeline.
Then you could use something like the copyPixels method (google it) to speed things up or even go further and use a framework like flixel -
Open GL Vs Quartz - Which is better for 2D game development?
Hi,
I am new to iphone game development. I want to create 2D game. Simple game with objects moving around.
I never used Open GL as well as Quartz. For this game I am planing to study that.
I want to know which is better from OpenGL or Quartz?
And where I can learn more on that?
Thanks,
Ganesh PisalI would recommend against OpenGL for a 2D game. Quartz does a lot of work to avoid updating parts of the screen that haven't changed, something OpenGL doesn't do. The iPhone's implementation of OpenGL has other serious performance issues.

Wanna learn Actionscript.3.0 along with game development?
hi guys, i am sharing some best books to learn AS.3.0 along with game development including box2d.
best books ever.....(over 7 large pdf books)
you can build complete games from these pdf books.
you need flash professional CS4 or above. you can still use it with CS3...
see this video for links and book covers:

Those are the v2 UI Components, which means they're written
in
ActionScript 2.0 and are therefore incompatible with AS3.
Using that
special version of Flash, you may still publish in AS2 if you
like (see
Publish Settings), in which case those Components will
reappear.
> Is this a watered down version so you can't do anything
> with forms.
What you have is not a watered down version at all. Rather,
it's a
souped up version of Flash 8, which is otherwise not capable
of publishing
for Flash Player 9 (in other words, ActionScript 3.0). The
title is a
mouthful, but Flash Professional 9 ActionScript 3.0 Preview
is a *preview
release* of Flash 9, which gives every indication that the
next full release
of Flash will support ActionScript 3.0, and presumably new
AS3-based
Components to match.
> Does this force me to have to get Flex2? I hope not.
Of course not! ;) If you want to develop with AS3 now
already, then
you'll have to do it with something that can compile Flash 9
SWFs. Flex
Builder 2 is an IDE and costs money, but the compiler (Flex 2
SDK) itself is
freeware.

If you can wait for Flash 9, then that could be yet another
choice --
presumably improved upon the preview release in your hands.

Find Address of Server (link to Game Development OP)
This question was posed here:
Find Address of Server
but linked here for those that do not check the game developer board.Thank you for the response. After checking my router and looking around a bit, I see the UDP block operations are disabled on my router, so I do not think I will be persuing that avenue, and realistically this is going to be me and my family and maybe a few friends sitting around the house with our laptops and somebody says: Hey, let's play XYZ game so the lookup server options is not a good scenario either.
It did give me a reality check though -- I realistically can expect to only have to check the first few local IP addresses for this type of implementation, so the bruit force approach will work ok on the scale I'm implementing.
Thank you for your input! -
How to implement "colorise" hue/saturation in game development.

this.addChild(b);
for (var i:int=0; i < b.width; i++)
for (var j:int=0; j < b.height; j++)
var c:uint=b.bitmapData.getPixel32(i, j);
if (c != 0)
var a:int=((c >> 24) & 0xff);
var hsb:HSBColor=HSBColor.convertRGBtoHSB(c);
hsb.hue=0;
hsb.saturation=1;
b.bitmapData.setPixel32(i, j, HSBColor.convertHSBtoRGB(hsb.hue, hsb.saturation, hsb.brightness) + (a << 24)); -
Is java worth learning for game developement?
Please dont take this as an insult to the java language, im having a blast learning this language and love it more than any other that i have learned so far.
I just have one creeping issue, ive heard that the game development aspect of java isnt quite there yet, and is quite "slow".
so id just like to ask. Is it possible to write a good 3d game using java(simple FPS or RPG) using java? what is its limitations when it comes to programming games?(is it just slower? does it have the same potential in creating games like python does?)
thanks if you can answer these questions for me!"Serious" game development has been pretty much C++'s domain for ages.
However you have things like Minecraft, which is done in Java and racked up a few million for the author. Then you have Android game development, which is pretty much Java... -

[Game development] iphone game development
Hi All,
I am newbie to iphone game development. I am looking for third party game engines like Allegro.
Please suggest me best open source game engine for iphone game development.
Thanks,
Ganesh PisalHi There
You can only use the iPhone Development kit from Apple to develop iPhone Games as far as I am aware, the Allegro game programming library for C/C++ is used for programming on operating systems. The iPhone is based on Objective-C which I believe is fairly different from C and C++.
Hope this helps

Hi Everybody!!!
Someone posted a link in a forum about a contest, similar to the DreamBuildPlay event that used to happen every year around these days. The name of the event is the "Windows Game Developer Contest". It's about
porting an existing App from other platform to the Windows Store. The thing is that I have not been able to find if this is a real thing or just a hoax. I thought about asking, just in case - one can never be too careful with the Internet.
Thanks!!!

Tarh ikHi Rob!!!
Thanks!!! I thought about pasting the link, but, if the link is a hoax as I suspected, I'd be liable for damages to those who followed it - I rather be too careful when it comes to the Internet.
Thanks for your feedback!!! Your link "blogs.windows.com" is the only official URL that I've found!!! I'll proceed to join now!
Thanks again!!

PS4 game development in UK and Europe
I'm interested in developing indie games for PSN and PS4, however whenever I look to sign up for developing for the PS4 it says I have to be located in North America. I'd like to know how can I register to develop indie games for the PS4 while I'm located in the UK and Europe? And yes, I am aware of XDEV, but I'd like to know when will PSN and PS4 game development be available in the UK, are there any dev kits available, if so where can I find one and how much does it cost?
What's this with XDEV? Do you mean the fact that you give them your idea? And then what happens? I'm curious because I saw some games have the XDEV logo once you launch them on PS4. I'm intersted in game development as well so can someone please make things clear for me? Thanks in advance
