| | Hi Everyone;
I am not new to java nor am I incompentent.
ANyways, I just wanted to shared a book that I looked through
that seemed fairly easy to follow for java beginners.
IT gives a lot of demos and explainations on terms and methods.
Also, it gives you very good instructions on compiling, building, and deploying your game.
The book that I am referring to is:
Beginning Java 5 Game Programming
Author is Jonathan S. Harbour from University of Advancing Technology
ISBN: 1-59863-150-0
Yes... it is a THOMSON course Technology boo.
Its a small book and pretty inexpensive.
I bought it brand new for like 20 dollars.
IT gives a lot of samples to download.
Here are my ratings for it:
Readability: 8.5/10
Content: 8/10 ... its for beginners
Any feedback would be great, either good or bad.
PLEASE THREAD CRAP IF YOU WANT TOO =)

Programming For A Hobby (i'm Sick)
(5) I have a confession to make, sometimes I program just for the fun of it. Sure it sounds like an odd
hobby, but it does have it's uses. My friend and I play a game called HeroScape. If you are
not familiar with it is great and I am not even into war games that much. When playing you have a
variety of characters to choose from each worth a set amount of points. You determine how many
points teams will be worth and then take turns drafting characters into your army for the battle.
Some times choosing a team in the game can be rather time consuming and when you play....

Java Memory Leak?

Google to see the problem and apparently it is caused a memory leak. I have tried to solve it by
simply setting all the variables to null after they are used but this doesn't help. Is there
something I can do to or a free software I can use to find the exact variable that is causin....

Brushed Style Xmas Sig
For all to share (8) Again boredom overtook me during the weekend and i began work on an xmas sig that i thought maybe i

to comment. I don't exactly consider this a sig at all truthfully but just an immature painting,
I'd appreciate constructive criticisms though! I know it looks kinda weird and all. It's
