Breakout Game Using Java

Breakout Game Using Java

Continuing with building out video games,  I have started to develop a Breakout game using Java.  I am doing so because-although I know C-  I wanted to start learning another programming language besides Python. 

So why not do more things with C?  Overall, I find it difficult to get good tutorials on C for building games. I find a lot of content regarding IOT( Internet of Things) but not a lot of content on C. There is content on C++, but I decided to go with Java now and learn C++ later.

Also, I wanted to go with Java because, I want to learn "How to Learn" programming languages.  There are lots of programming languages and new languages are being developed all the time (Rust, Kotlin, and Go).  Therefore, one important skill is the ability to learn how to be able to pick up another programming language easily. By coding in Python and C now and learning Java, I will develop the ability of "How to Learn". 

I should add that I am still programming in Python as it is my main language. I use it both for data science and games. 

Anyway,  here is a picture of the first version of my Breakout game. I am using Eclipse to develop the games. The tutorial comes from Awais Mirza.

As always, I will show the pictures of the game as I am developing it and then post the video when the games is finished.

This is my first attempt at a maze game in Python. The white squares are the walls and the blue circle is the first player. I will continue on with the game and post the final version.  After learning how to make basic games in Python using Turtle, I plan to move on to making simple games using Pygame.

Space Wars- Python 3

Space wars - Python 3 This is my first version of Space Wars  in Python 3 using C. Thomson's ideas and Turtle. I made this a few weeks ago but am only getting around to post it today.  It doesn't have any sound. CT developed his program on the Mac.  However, the sound code doesn't work with windows.  The program was developed using Turtle. I am using Python's turtle module to develop games now. I play to start with Pygame before the end of the year.
