CSC207 Code Repository (including NetBeans and Java 1.6 setup)
The code repository is, well, a repository of code. Title aside, the repository provides a number of
example programs and code snippets that you can study, use, adapt, extend, etc. – basically you are
free to employ the code in whatever way you want. The idea behind the repository is to provide a
number of example classes that illustrate some of the game programming concepts you will explore
during the course. You can also employ the code within your project (if desired), e.g. using one of the
example programs as a springboard from which to develop your own game.
The purpose of this document is twofold. Firstly, the steps needed to install and setup NetBeans and
Java will be defined. Once setup, you will be able to easily view the repository and create new
projects of your own (I do recommend that you develop your game using NetBeans; it is a very nice
and powerful integrated development environment - IDE). Secondly, the structure and core classes
within the repository will be defined.
I appreciate that this might be the first time you’ve got your ‘hands dirty’ installing and configuring a
Java environment. It will be a useful experience (and hopefully not too traumatic). If you do run into
problems that you can’t resolve please do contact me (contact details can be found at the back of the
Module Handbook).
