Last year I learned the basics of jMonkeyEngine<\/a>, and though I intended to create a 2D game with it, I only ended up creating the MIDI animator mentioned in my last post. But for a tile-based 2D game, it’s really not ideal. It’s certainly capable<\/em> of producing such a game, but as an engine, it’s not really designed for it, and I realized I’d have to spend a considerable amount of time just programming a custom framework for such a project.<\/p>\n

So last month I began learning LibGDX<\/a>, which is certainly better suited for the sort of tile-based 2D adventure game I’d like to create.<\/p>\n

So here’s what I’ve got so far (the art is temporary, simply a free tile set I found out there, though I think I’ll be aiming for tiles that are 16×16 pixels as well, so this represents the size I’m hoping for):<\/p>\n

Doesn’t look like much, but I’m still learning and programming the basics I’ll need before I actually start programming the actual game play. What I’ve learned and\/or programmed so far includes:<\/p>\n
