Third JEG meeting
We had our third JEG (Java Education Group?) meeting today about Java certifications. We changed our approach and now we are just solving certification questions in group. As we are without projector today we used just my laptop. Today our host was Joselito who solved some section 1 questions.
Joselito’s slides are also available to download here.
More photos in this album.
Was a great meeting, next week another one.

I don’t like the approach of calling native shell commands in any language instead of using multi platform libraries, but here is a little prof of concept Java program to call native commands. import java.io.*; import java.util.*; public class Exec { public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException { Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().e xec(args); BufferedReader [...]

Iterating over a HashMap using the enhanced loop (foreach) in Java is a good way to keep your code smaller, more legible and usually more semantically coherent. import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; class Foo {} public class Main { public static void main(String args[]){ Map<Byte, Foo> mHash; mHash = new HashMap<Byte, Foo>(); [...]

This is a simple program I wrote called Who Am I that shows informations about the device which it is running. Which can be useful for developers and maybe advanced users. Download: WhoAmI.tar.bz2 – Eclipse project. It’s configured for Android platform 4 (1.6) but should work without problems in newer Android platform versions. WhoAmI.apk – [...]

Today I was programming a toString method for a class widely used in a application, using the very useful String.format that provides a C’s like printf formatter. @Override public String toString() { return String.format("VO[a: %.1f, b: %.1f, c: %.1f]", a, b, a+b); } %.1f means a float with one digit precision after the dot separator.

Here’s a program that lists fonts available in your JVM. You can also set the environment variable JAVA_FONTS to specify the font directory. import java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment; public class ListFonts { public static void main(String args[]){ GraphicsEnvironment e = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment(); for(String font:e.getAvailableFontFamilyNames()){ System.out.println(font); } } } By using pipes you can count how many fonts you [...]
Tiled TMX Map Loader for Pygame
I’m using the Tiled Map Editor for a while, I even wrote that tutorial about it. It’s a general purpose tile map editor, written in Java but now migrating to C++ with Qt, that can be easily used with my set of free pixelart tiles. A map done with Tiled is stored in a file [...]
