It is continuing to evolve as is my Java knowledge. I’ve been moving to an object-oriented tile engine. There is now a map class that represents a tile map and a layer class that represents a layer of the map since I’m making a layered tile engine. At the moment there are two layers: the base layer...

I like Java a lot, though it will never replace my love of C# and XNA when it comes to game programming. I still get stuck in C# thinking at times and dialect.

With my knowledge of C-style languages it was easy enough to pick up the syntax. If you’ve seen one C-style language you can pretty easily understand most of any others. The hard part is learning to think in Java. All languages have their own mind set, way of doing things. Learning to think in that...
