I can definitely work with you towards a few beginner tasks to get this done and working with! The project isn't exactly a simple, entry-level game project by any means but I think it beats creating anything from scratch as a first experience with coding games. If you want to help me with r/javelinrl during the summer, I'd be glad to have you. (Note that if you were doing professional engineering work for a production system, I'd be giving slightly different advice. As you run into pain points with your overall, there's room for analysis and refactoring, but the key to the profession is turning goals into working code, and you'll learn a lot in that process. Think about the goals you have to achieve, and then do the research to learn what needs to be done to achieve those goals. I'm looking for a step in the right direction If your goal is to get better at programming, you'll learn more by developing more functionality within a single framework than you would by porting around too much. Swing might be a decent choice, but really, almost anything that can put bitmaps on the screen respond to mouse/keyboard input will work. Pick a single graphical framework and stick with it.
If the end goal is a working and playable RPG, expect to spend as much or more time here as on the actual coding. There are issues around art, story, map development, etc. Keeping yourself on track and away from distractions will be the difference between this being largely a waste of time or an effective way to learn the craft.ĭeveloping an RPG takes a lot more than just coding. Maybe the most important lesson you can learn from this is 1) how to set reasonable goals and 2) what it takes to actually meet those goals. Getting this implemented in Java would be a reasonable first step towards assembling a more complete 2D RPG. It's in JavaScript, so you can't directly use the code (which is a good thing, since you want to write it yourself), but the basic algorithms are there for navigating a 2D tile-based map:
Anything you want to do is likely quite achievable in Java, so I'd worry less about perceived gaps in the tooling and more about how to work with the tool to achieve the goal you want to achieve. I know that Java probably isn't the best language for this
