xCode Gaming Project Files

This page contains version of bare-bone, 2.4 compatible xCode 3 projects that implement/use/demo a series of java gaming libraries:

• Golden T Game Engine: Here is a set of projects that aim to help me find out about the diffferences between Java and Web Start programs.
  • DragonFly Test Project - Java - this project works fine
  • DragonFly Test Project - Java Web Start - the same code as a web start project fails to find the image for the animated sprite

• lwjgl library: The Lightweight Java Game Library (LWJGL) provides developers access to high performance crossplatform libraries such as OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) and OpenAL (Open Audio Library).
  • You need to first download the latest release of the lwjgl library. Go to the downloaded folder on your hard disk (lwjgl-2.0rc1- in my case) and place copies of all files in the native/macosx folder into "your startup hard disk"/Library/Java/Extensions/ folder. To test whether things are working right go to the Applications/Utilities/Terminal and use unix commands to navigate to the downloaded folder (cd Downloads/lwjgl-2.0rc1 - in my case). Then run the game with the command:

    java -cp .:res:jar/lwjgl.jar:jar/lwjgl_test.jar:jar/lwjgl_util.jar:jar/jinput.jar: -Djava.library.path=native/macosx org.lwjgl.examples.spaceinvaders.Game -fullscreen

  • I have created an xCode project that instantiates an object of type spaceinvaders.Game. the code is already in the lwjgl_test.jar library, so we only need to give it manifest and resources. You can download it from here SpaceInvaders Application.
  • Also, here is an xCode webstart application project that instantiates an object of type spaceinvaders.Game. the code is already in the lwjgl_test.jar library, so we only need to give it manifest and resources. You can download it from here SpaceInvaders Webstart Application.
• JMonkeyEngine:
  • FireFly
