Upcoming Updates to Our Game Development Tutorials - opengl libgdx

 We are going to share that we’re currently working on a series of updates to our basic game development tutorials. These improvements are part of our ongoing commitment to helping developers—both beginners and experienced—build engaging and technically sound games.


The upcoming changes will place a strong focus on OpenGL development, with special attention to both Java-based OpenGL and the LibGDX framework. If you’ve been following along with our earlier content, you’ll notice that the foundation has already been laid with examples covering core concepts such as camera movement, object movement, and other essential techniques. These examples are just the beginning.


What to Expect

Here’s a quick preview of what’s in store:


Deep Dives into OpenGL: We’ll be expanding our coverage of OpenGL, especially from the perspective of Java developers. Expect walkthroughs on rendering pipelines, shader programming, and scene management using modern OpenGL principles.


LibGDX Tutorials: As one of the most versatile and accessible frameworks for Java game development, LibGDX will play a big role in our updated tutorials. We’ll cover everything from setting up a game loop to implementing animations and UI elements.


RPG Game Development: One of our main goals is to guide you through building your own 2D and 3D RPG games. We’ll walk through game structure, dialogue systems, character movement, combat mechanics, and inventory management—layer by layer.


Hands-On Examples: Each tutorial will include practical examples and code snippets to help you understand how theory translates into working code. We’ll also be including complete downloadable projects that you can run, dissect, and build upon.

JVM Notebook: Basic Clojure, Java and JVM Language performance

"Measure, don't guess. The primary goal of all performance tuning exercises should be maximize the end user experience given the resource constraints." [1] "It isn't so much a "farewell to the J" as an expansion of the platform opportunities Java provides. Sun's investment to power ongoing development of JRuby and Jython broadens the range and reach of Java, as a whole." -- Rick Ross Overview and JVM Languages    One of the exciting trends to recently emerge from the Java community is the concept of the JVM language. These technologies are all that you would expect them to be. They are implementations of languages that run on the Java Virtual Machine. Some are newly created and some are based on existing, more mature languages. JRuby, Jython are two JVM languages based on CRuby and CPython. Groovy, Scala, Clojure are three completely new JVM languages that were created to add new language features that weren't supported by the core Ja...

On Unit Testing, Java TDD for developers to write

It has been a while, let's kick off 2017 with a blog entry. I have read and I am reading about four or five posts a day about unit testing. It really has been a long time obsession for me. I have moved past the technical and practical considerations on unit testing frameworks and done with the debates with "should you use Junit or Mockito or Karma?" I am more interested in the psychology of unit testing, who does it, likes it, hates it? It really is one of those easy to learn, hard to master concepts. For example, many many may play chess when they are young and can end up being horribly chess players most of their life, I am part of that majority. Unfortunately, I have never played chess and sat down for hours and tried to master it. I never see the common patterns or have a developed end game. I mostly just play with a knowledge of the basic rules. Following good unit testing practices within your software development shop is a lot like playing chess. It is easy to le...

Application server performance testing, includes Django, ErlyWeb, Rails and others

Image
The following represents a set of toy benchmark results for various web application servers including ErlyWeb, Hunchentoot, Django and other application servers. The goal was to test out of the box performance through a simple VIEW page. For example, I was trying to avoid static files but going through the controller and the view. In the Rails example, there is a simple controller that then activates the view template. The same approach is used with the ErlyWeb example. Ideally, we are trying to avoid the server loading the static files but in our case the server may be loading cached content. Overall, Erlang's ErlyWeb/Yaws had great performance and out of the box Django did very well. Tomcat and my various low-level simple JSP/Servlet apps also had stable performance. Software and Hardware Configuration used in the Benchmark Two machines were used in the benchmark, a Win32 dual core machine and a single CPU Linux machine. Win32 Box: Microsoft Windows XP, Vers 2002, Service ...
