Hi,

I'm Marcos Daniel Saguier (29), I'm interested in game development and of course I love videogames, I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina (UTC-3), I expect to learn good handle of sprites and atlas, maps and characters placement on screen, some resource administration tips, 3d graphics incorporation, camera position and colision detection.

thank you!

A big welcome to everyone!

Ha ha, nice to hear you're interested in game development, Marcos!  The course does go a little behind the scenes of Java Puzzle Ball to discuss some of the topics you listed.  Definitely collision detection and project management type stuff.  And the Lesson 4 lab has you create a JavaFX banking application (JavaFX is used for GUI applications like Java Puzzle Ball). Although the main focus is on Java development, I'd be happy to chat more about game development as the course gets going. 

What are you playing now?  I've recently started Metal Gear Solid 5.

Great to meet all of you!

Hi,

Paul from the UK here.

I have a lot of experience with OO PHP, but I am trying to get back into Java (I did some basic Java 1.0/1.1 in uni). I am a big gamer, so I like the idea of using a game to learn the Java stuff.

Going to try and get the game working on JDK 10 in-between lessons. :-)

Hi MOOC Team,

I am Rex from Philippines, I like to learn Java.

Kindly correct me if I am wrong, is May 02, 2018 09:00 AM US/Pacific equivalent to May 03, 2018 00:00 AM here in Philippines?

Thanks!
