Halo is one of best game that built for Xbox360 and Bungie
make too many benefit from this game and of course too
many fun and more and now we should say good bye to
this good game.what will occurred next?can soldiers find
another work or should retained? what you think?
should see future.
Angry Birds is one of best mobile game for iPhone and android.First come for iPhone and because great success creator company decided to build angry birds for android also .
of course I don’t know why they are so angry but maybe you find it!
today I want to focused on game developing with IPhone.
Best tool for develop IPhone game is Xcode that you should
run it on mac.For windows and visual studio you can use
mono project and develop iPhone application with it but it is
not good as Xcode .
In Xcode you have many template for building application.
For games you should chose opengles template and
start coding.in following post I’ll describe more about it.
what you need for developing IPhone application?comment it.
this is new series of world of warcraft that come this week.
official said that this game will be released on 7 December
this game come with new trailer that is entitled "World Reborn" and showcases the new locales of the expansion. While Cataclysm marks a return to the Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms continents from "vanilla", the old lands have been redone with new terrain and new quests. Previously inaccessible territories like Gilneas and Uldum have been added to the map as well.(source)
of course we should wait and see that this new released will be satisfied all (more than)12 million fans or not
Windows phone 7 comes with news developer tools
and attract more developer and of course more hacker!
today we have 3000 applications for windows phone 7
and it goings up,of course it is less than iPhone
applications and wp 7have ways to reach iPhone
this week come with new jailbreak tool for windows phone 7 that named ChevronWP7 allow developer and install new wp7 games and tools without going to Microsoft approval process.Of course Microsoft doesn’t like this tool .Now we should wait for new court and wars between Microsoft and hackers
this news come this week that said maybe next phase of tomb rider is “a survivor is born” according to this tomb raider fan site
Of course this news and images is not official and we should wait until December 6 for official news .Is it true or not it
seems that lara and tomb rider legend will be alive for many years.this is an image from new series of tomb rider.
now for developing your xbox game(or even in xna windows games) you need load model in your game.For this purpose you should first design your model in blender or 3ds max or maya or tools like that and export it to .x file .This format commonly used on developing DirectX and xna games.Next in your xbox games add model to to your content .Every model and other thing in content have name you can changed it on properties sidebar.
for coding you should doing this steps
1.create model
Model newModel = Content.Load<Model> (assetName); foreach (ModelMesh mesh in newModel.Meshes)
foreach (ModelMeshPart meshPart in mesh.MeshParts)
meshPart.Effect = effect.Clone(device)
2.next draw model in draw function with code
Matrix worldMatrix = Matrix.CreateScale(0.0005f, 0.0005f, 0.0005f) * Matrix.CreateRotationY(MathHelper.Pi) * Matrix.CreateTranslation(new Vector3(19, 12, -5));
Matrix[] newModelTransforms = new Matrix[newModel .Bones.Count];
newModel.CopyAbsoluteBoneTransformsTo(newModelTransforms);
foreach (ModelMesh mesh in newModel .Meshes)
{
foreach (Effect currentEffect in mesh.Effects)
{
currentEffect.CurrentTechnique = currentEffect.Techniques["Colored"];
currentEffect.Parameters["xWorld"].SetValue(newModelTransforms[mesh.ParentBone.Index] * worldMatrix);
currentEffect.Parameters["xView"].SetValue(viewMatrix);
currentEffect.Parameters["xProjection"].SetValue(projectionMatrix);
}
mesh.Draw();
}
you should add this code before base.Draw(gameTime);
you can use this code in one functions for using more in games or even in more games or add codes during games .
But it is better use this code on functions for better reading or using.
Nowadays most news about consoles is about controller
xbox come with kinect and playstation come with move.
In move you get a device in your hand and move your hand
but in xbox your body also can be use as controller.
kinect come with great success in business and hacker attention .after a while kinect hacked and open source driver comes to out!
Now question is that PlayStation can get Kinect speed in future?I think it is better that use my body as controller than device in my hand, of course if kinect work completely
you can post your videos about games and console and I’ll published them
before xna and visual studio setup you should know that your graphic card must be compatible with xna that means you should have graphic card with diret3d that support xna framework Hidef profile. Also for using xna 4 you need have visual studio 2010 .
Now created project.you can use just visual c#.net language for create project .Next you’ll see environment like above.In left sidebar you have files of project and in middle part you’ll see code of game.if you run project a blue window will be appeared.you can changed it easily.Just go Draw function and change this code GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.CornflowerBlue); to this one GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.Red); and you’ill see a red windows.For now it is enough 
new assassin creed series published on 16 novomber
2010 .this game created by ubisoft and Ezio should kill
Cesare with help from his friends (brothers).This game
occurring in ancient roma .
you can play this game on ps3 and xbox360.In ign its rating
is 8 and in gamespot is 4.5/5 that is good.
also I play this game on mobile have nice graphic and can
play it on many mobile .You can find it on gameloft site .
call of duty is new series of first person shooting games with new success in graphics and online game world.it has high rating in every site.this game have campaign and zombie and multiplayer level type.you can challenge other players online or in games and get money or lose your money or players.but what about game story ?Black Ops takes place during the Cold War. The player mainly controls two characters: special forces operative Alex Mason and CIA agent Jason Hudson, both members of the Studies and Observations Group (SOG), a clandestine black operations unit tasked with carrying out critical missions behind enemy lines. The single-player campaign revolves around an experimental Soviet chemical weapon codenamed "Nova-6".
when I see this game story from here think that yes we have soldiers in games can play with other real soldier and also have new type of virus that can attack to factories ,so in near future this soldiers and games will be more real than today?
for developing android application you need download android sdk and eclipse and adt plugin .then create a sample project,when you run your applications it show your result on simulator.
result is something like this
now you want change string .Android application main language is java but coding is different from normal java mobile program;you have main class that open main.xml file in layout folder.This xml file have LinearLayout,and textview nudes.in in textview nude you see this code:android:text="@string/hello" that define some values that contained in values folder .Its names is hello .change string and run it again.just this!
resource:android developer guide
more comes in next postswhen you want use keys you should noticed that have many function
like keyPressed(int keyCode),keyReleased(int keyCode) ,keyRepeated(int keyCode) if you want use all of them should have something for control number of key pressing and releasing and repeating. with this code detect which key is pressed
int gameAction = getGameAction(keyCode);
switch(gameAction){
case UP:
key= "[UP]";
break;
case DOWN:
key= "[DOWN]";
break;
case LEFT:
key= "[LEFT]";
break;
case RIGHT:
key= "[RIGHT]";
break;
case FIRE:
key= "[FIRE]";
break;
case GAME_A:
message = "[LEFT_UP]";
break;
case GAME_B:
message = "[RIGHT_UP]";
break;
case GAME_C:
key= "[LEFT_DOWN]";
break;
case GAME_D:
key= "[RIGHT_DOWN]";
break;
default:
key= "";
break;
you can add all of code in same function.then define value like speed; we assume that in our game when you continue on key press you have more speed so add this code after detect key “speed++”;But after checking speed in real device you see that you object move slower than emulator.it because that device can’t process graphic like computer and emulator.You have to use timer functions and class in your games or using smaller graphic file in next post you see how do that
In game canvas you can detect keys and touch and using graphic function.Canvas have pre defined functions .For using touch in your game you have three function
protected void pointerDragged(int x, int y)
protected void pointerPressed(int x, int y)
protected void pointerReleased(int x, int y)
they are active when you dragged or pressed or released your finger(or pen) on your device.X and Y is place of your finger or pen.If you want same action for all of function you can define another function like this
public void doyouraction(int x,int y)
{
//add your code here
// you can change your function name(doyouraction)
}
in other hand you should have deferent code or functions
{} are keyword for define start and end of your codes.Public means that you can use your function in other class ,if you don’t want use private instead.After coding function use it with this codes
protected void pointerDragged(int x, int y)
{
doyouraction(int x,int y) ;
}
just this,in next post you’ll see infoo about detect keys and code for them
If you want using keys or touch or graphics in your game you should use canvas class.Canvas class have predefined function for detect key press or drag or screen touch and also important paint function .First you should add new canvas class with right click on your project and go new and select MIDP canvas…..
In this class you’ll see some function like this
protected void keyPressed(int keyCode) {
}
/**
* Called when a key is released.
*/
protected void keyReleased(int keyCode) {
}
/**
* Called when a key is repeated (held down).
*/
protected void keyRepeated(int keyCode) {
}
……………..
……………
…………….
……………
they are contains code that running when key pressed or released or repeated or…you can add code like draw string in keypress and create text when key pressed .Now you should running canvas in your game .For this purpose you should add code like this in startApp function in your middlet.
Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(new MIDPCanvas());
jus this
in next post I’ll describe how you can detect fire,back,numbers,..keys and pointer into your software
When you build a java mobile game in software(like netbeans IDE or eclipse..)
first thing you‘ll see is a middlet class .Middlet class used for handling start and
initialize and interface of java mobile applications. In netbeans you have sample
screen that can add button or text or image or like that .just you should drag your desired items from right side to screen and then go to source
screen is interface of your project in netbeans
For example you have pre defined string seeing in screen and want changed it when middlet started. Code is like this
public void startMIDlet() {
// write pre-action user code here
switchDisplayable(null, getForm());
stringItem.setText("my name is dawood");
// write post-action user code here
}
startMIDlet is function that using in every middlet .In netbeans for adding interface to screen using a form , should calling when middlet started.For this purpose have this code switchDisplayable(null, getForm());
and then add this for changing text stringItem.setText("my name is dawood");
and run it in emulator
in start for do more thing in java games you should add canvas class that i’ll describe later
Game contains objects and environment and you should now how coding them.They are defined by class keyword .see this code for example
package com.example.helloandroid;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class HelloAndroid extends Activity
{
/** Called when the activity is first created.
*/ @Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
TextView tv = new TextView (this)tv.setText("Hello, Android"); setContentView (tv);
}
}
this is sample code for showing hello word in android( get from here)
Package contains you project content.For running your project in ide you should add required codes.Import keyword using for add this code.Public means that your object is visible to project or package.helloAndroid is your main project(environment) and onCreate is function of objects that used to create a text in device(i’ll describe code later,see source for some help for now).Your code can be changed on base of your algorithm. Your algorithm can be like this :
1.add codes for running games
2.create HelloAndroid environment(project)
3.set text “hello, Android”
4.show them
Now you can add a line to algorithm “set text when you clicked on 5” and change code also.For now is sufficient ,I’ll describe more in following posts.For coding using eclipse and adt plugin and android sdk and run your project and see result like this
now we can start to coding for game.you can modeling your world
when coding your game but it confuse you. It is better that first
modeling and then coding and if it isn’t satisfying restart your process.It
is called new version!can be called 0.0.1 or things like that .In version
number commonly first digit describe mane change in your game and
second describe partial change and third contains number of build(run)
of your game(on base of company strategy) .Now you should design
algorithm of your game before start to any codes.Algorithm is your
game or software description in sample language(not in codes).For
example for add two digits algorithm is
1.get first number and save it
2.get second number and save it too
3.add two number
4.save result and print
see Algorithm definition and everything here
in next posts i will describe a sample algorithm and codes of
games .For now is sufficient …one minute somebody miss algorithm and
going to coding without it,It is true just about too sample game ,In
other games You spend many time and maybe see a failed project!
Now you should design your models .Main format using for java games is m3g file.Software that you using for design should be export your models to m3g .When you using even good software like 3ds max 2010 it is possible that lose some graphics in your models because m3g formats reduce 3d models size and graphics for better working in mobile device.
Blender is free 3d design tools for making animation and your models.For start you can use this tools for export your models into m3g
and see result in m3g viewer if you don’t want pay more for software like that.Blender need python installed in your computer
for seeing your result in viewer you can use tools like this from MascotCapsule .This tools also have exporter for h3t and convertor for change h3t to m3g formats. and have better result from normal m3g exporter but h3t exporter plugins used only in 3ds max and maya. 3ds max and maya have better result than blender but aren’t free .With 3ds max and maya you can design high graphics models and then reduce polygons and export it to m3g.
Ok first you should know tools that used . There is so many tools you can use for create mobile games.But three of them are most important than others.Everyone have some profit and loose to others and on base of your needs can use one of them.
1.NETBEANS
Netbeans is oracle tool for java programming(windows and mobile and..).Oracle bought java and Netbeans from sun company .Netbeans
have visual library.It means that for create some tools like web tool and windows form you can drag library like button and forms and textbox and..to your program without code.But It can’t use for some mobile 3d games.
2.Eclipse
Eclipse is ibm tool for for java programming.Andriod officially support eclipse(not netbeans because oracle and google problem).Netbeans have also plugin for android but isn’t officially supported.Eclipse ide have also better plugin support from netbeans.
3.microsot visual studio(express have no mobile support)
Best to for windows mobile programming but no java mobile support
now ready for programming!
