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 [...]

Here is a useful tip on Python XML decoding. I was extending xml.sax.ContentHandler class in a example to decode maps for a Pygame application when my connection went down and I noticed that the program stop working raising a exception regarded a call to urlib (a module for retrieve resources by url). I noticed that [...]
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 [...]

Here is a Pygame Sprite animation using the approach presented by Joe Wreschnig and Nicolas Crovatti. It’s not yet exactly what I need but is very suitable. import pygame, random from pygame.locals import * class Char(pygame.sprite.Sprite): x,y = (100,0) def __init__(self, img, frames=1, modes=1, w=32, h=32, fps=3): pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self) original_width, original_height = img.get_size() self._w = [...]

Very good comments and pictures. My Favorit Blog. Thank you Autoversicherung

The demo messed up a little for me, when I moved it showed a box around me. When I went over a dark cloud, it had a yellow box around that.
There was also some flicking.

I am interested towards learning ways to develope Strategy games using JavaX.
Thanks in advance.
