First time using Tiled and it took way too long to get loaded and into a basic JFrame. I had to do crazy things to get it to find resources from the class loader. Ugh!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyways I also made those crappy tiles for the basic map that I will probably never get around to polishing. Next is working out all the game logic, story characters etc. I am gonna try keeping that completely separate from the engine code and have the engine just hook into the game logic. Based on a gamasutra article Separation Of Gameplay<\/a><\/p>\n

Thought the idea was a nice way to make code that you can easily integrate with another engine and that will also make it easier to port to other languages, platforms as well. But I am doing it just to be able to not have to worry about the graphics code which I’ve done hundreds of times already.<\/p>","time":"December 16th, 2011 11:04 pm","title":"Just got Tiled maps in!"}
