This should definitely have more likes. I haven't seen any other person on YouTube that thoroughly describes the process of game programming and actually tries to help me fully understand what the hell is going on. I'm understanding so much from this guy.

Thank you Cherno.

I know this is old, but thank you!
My teacher doesn't explain things properly, he just tell us to copy what he does. This video is amazing to understand the logic so I can create my own projects later.

Relly awesome! I'm reading Killer Game Programming in Java and I just read the chapter about buffer strategy. I did only understand half of what they said and with this video I understood the other half. So thank you for making this awesome videos, I think I'll continue reading and watching this series at the same time so eventually I get to understand all.

I didn't plan to start learning Java as game programming. But this is great. I love it.

[nicholas]

I love how he actually gives you a coding lesson while your having fun!

[hejsan]

I'm a total newbie when it comes to programming so i really apperciate this and you explain everything so in detail. I will look forward into this series.

[TheCherno]

Yep, I am, when I finish my exams (last exam is on the 13th of November). :)

[SketchyHat]

Hey i just started game programming in college and i gotta say these videos help a LOT. Thank you so much.

Dude you sounded like a school teacher lol

IS THAT CLEAR? BECAUSE IT SOUNDED PRETTY CLEAR TO ME!

The name of a class cannot contain a space. So in the Navigator or Package Explorer tab (where you can see all the projects/packages/classes usually on the left side of the screen) find the class file in question. Right click it -> refactor -> rename. Rename your class file. If you want to go back later and rename it again you know how to do it.

I never knew you can create your own little code block in Java!!
Graphics g = bs.getDrawGraphics();

{ // optional brackets (code block)
// all graphics must be drawn here
// g.setColor(Color.BLACK); //sets the color to black
g.setColor(new Color(0, 0, 0)); // using RGB to color
// getWidth() & getHeight() are premade functions to return the width and height
// of the frame
g.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
}

g.dispose();

Dude, this pretty flipping cool

I am new. It's 2020 still appreciate the series

[firecopy]

@MrrSnype Yes, you have to import the Color class. After your package declaration, type: import java.awt.Color;

[basicsecurityvideos]

You are so good at doing this... though im not a compleat newb.. iv wrote some java things and have basic understanding of java, never have i done anything with graphics. I have tried to but failed becaus the person i was folowing did not explain it as good as you did, ur awsome!

Great Series I am enjoying having a project that helps refresh java, while not taking to much time each day. Also having a finished game would be nice =P

[Max-bhtg]

superb tutorials with great audio and explanations.

[CrytisYT]

Love the videos, I never really got into java and you do a fine job of describing the principals.

Anyway keep up the good work and cant wait to see more!

[TheFourEdge]

Thank you so much, I can't tell you how much I appreciate these tutorials. You're great at explaining things! You are awesome!

[Superhazeism]

I am actually appreciating this series. And I only use Ruby. Still interesting.
