My name is ExboomSSD. I like to make games in my free time. I make games in Scratch, Javascript, and C, but I mainly work with LibGDX in java.
I first started to make games in 2019 (or during covid I guess) and I got really attached from there. After 3 years of doing advanced block coding, I decided to start learning a real language. I wanted to learn Java, the same language that my favorite game Minecraft uses. I watched a video named "Making a Java game with no experience" (the video is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOeebAM_C5g. Please check it out), and I took the time to buy and read the book suggested in the video (Programming video games for the evil genius. It's also really good).
It teaches about Java swing, the most basic way to make a Java game. While it was reliable, it was not very modern or updated. After making a few small games that were not ever released, I decided to move to a more modern framework(LibGDX, https://libgdx.com/). LibGDX has treated me really well so far, and I am very glad I stumbled upon it.
