[Java]2D Platformer

[Adil]

Hi. After some thought, I made the choice to program a 2D platformer in java. This is still an idea.
What it will feature:
Enemies
Music (sound effects)
Interactive menu
Levels
Online mode (maybe)
I'll post more when I get onto my laptop. Obviously, this still an idea, which means it could become something else (RPG game), or it could not come to fruition

So, some more ideas:

• Not a huge fan of the client->server object model, but it will probably have to be used
• Will feature a scrolling background
• Will be very basic at the start

Think this would be a good project for you to learn, but are you using a tut or do you know how you will do it?

Hope to hear more from you, good luck!

Sorry for the bigass bump, but I actually did decide to go ahead with this ^^
I'm stuck on one thing though, that's my repaint() method. May just load the picture without repaint. Please submit ideas here ;D

good luck.

Some of the logic is flawed, need to rewrite whole thing. Will post stuff later on.

I need a graphic designer, for obvious reasons. Drop me a PM or reply here. YOU MUST SHOW PAST WORK ON 2D MODELS.
I may be submitting this as a community project, and I may be porting over to C++ soon ^^

WHERE ARE ALL THE GRAPHIC ARTISTS WHEN YOU NEED THEM?
Anyway, more updates:

• Blog will be up by 6:00 PM GMT
• Sound class being worked on by Des ;D
• Once this game is finished, there will be a XNA port over to C#.

The sound class will feature methods such as:

[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]StartSound()[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]StopSound()[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]
