Rubicon's LD24 Age of Defense game by Rubicon

[raw]
made by Rubicon for LD24 (COMPO)
Hello everyone! I am Rubicon and I thought that I would try Ludum Dare 24! I am really new to making games and do not know that much. But while I was trying to make a game I learned a lot so I am not walking away empty handed.... I still have a lot to learn though.. and the game is not an executable or anything it is just the Eclipse code files. There are things in the code that i could not figure out. But I thought that since I put in the work, I might as well share what I have accomplished :) I hope that I can participate in the next Ludum Dare and actually get a complete game out for you all to enjoy. I will continue to try and learn! Thanks for stopping by!

**Edit** Thanks to Cthulhu I fixed the enemies not following the path after level 3 and Towers can not be placed on the path now. Also there is a Game.jar file in the file that will run the game. Thanks Cthulhu!!

Hey mate! I suggest if it's an applet to make a Jar and post it on a site! If it's not an applet then create an executable Jar for it! I tried but I don't have the jave 7 jre installed to do so!

When I try to do that It creates the jar but none of the images appear. I can't figure out how to solve that.

If you end up reading this before playing it or even after you play it and find the bug, there was a bug where I uploaded the version of the code that didn't have the right command for the enemy so he can pathfind on the different textured maps. Just a heads up that, that part isn't working!

Hi,

I've tried to turn your game into JAR. I did some progress but what I've got is not really a JAR. Check my changes in Screen.java. You can run it directly but it must remains in the game folder to run correctly. I don't understand what is wrong with what I did since all your resources are now in the JAR. Seems that when the jar is not in the game folder, the levels don't load.
(spent 1 hour for this).

Here is my gift: 0xg.fr/AgeOfWar.rar

Your game runs fine but sometimes I get "IndexOutOfBounds" exception and the game crashes, and the enemies are not following the path since level 3 or 4. At level 6 the game crashes. There's a bug: I can put towers on the path.

Good job for your first LD. I had the same issue at my first LD and someone helped me to export into JAR :D

In the description:
"game.jar" instead of "game.java"

Learn how to make executables! I'll not setup an environment just to run a... game...
