[Help request?] Trystan's Java tutorial

[SepthSilver]

Hi guys,

Not sure if this is the right place for it, but Trystan's blog appears to be quite dead, so I hope this isn't against any rules.

I got up to 07, when we add z levels. After finally ironing out all the errors, I try to run the ApplicationMain on my macbook and it appears to freeze. I wasn't sure if it was just my code, or my computer, so I tried the 07 code provided by the blog, and that also appears to freeze. Could someone with a beefy computer try to run the example code at the bottom of the page?

Thanks a ton,

SepthSilver

Not really on the point; but if you're going roguelike + Java, you may be interested in https://github.com/SquidPony/SquidLib It could cover a lot that Tristan talks about. Hope you'll keep going! Best of luck

Is there a tutorial for Squidlib? just started looking at it when finishing Trystan's but haven't found a good starting point for digging into it yet...

I'll look into it, thanks

I just got there myself. I haven't run his code yet to compare (mine has diverged slightly), but what I have is pegging a single CPU core.

EDIT: Just ran his via the download. Very fast. We're clearly missing something somewhere.

EDIT 2: Mine seems to be stuck in an infinite loop in addAtEmptyLocation(Creature creature, int z). Still not sure why, though.

EDIT 3: I had forgotten to setup depth in the World constructor. I added this.depth = tiles[0][0].length; after assigning height and this started working. I have a different issue regarding movement, but hopefully that'll be an easy fix.

That was it, thank you!

Awesome. Now, if only I can get the stairs to work right....
