By the way, you used "++w", shouldn't it be "w++"? I've seen both being used but I can't understand the different. EDIT: Oh wait, I got it ( http://www.gamedev.net/topic/337133-i-vs-i/)

Oh yeah, you're right.
It works now ^^
Nice game, btw
Thanks a lot!

You capitalized it incorrectly  Use "FallingBlocks" instead of "Fallingblocks" and try again. 
Calcdude is right, use "FallingBlocks" And this game is Java 6 by the way.

I can't open it 
I did [Windows+R]>cmd>java FallingBlocks
but FallingBlocks.class is not found..
Edit: I tried with the java Runtime, but the window opens, and closes immediately
You have to go to the directory of the download. 1. Unzip the attachment somewhere 2. Open the cmd 3. cd to that directory. 4. java FallingBlocks If it doesn't work, please tell me the error it gives. Thanks!

I started yesterday, what an amazing game!

The very first games I coded were made in Axe, so I got used to doing pixel-level-perfect collision, because it was the best way for it. However, as I want to start developing games on larger scales, I need some help understanding how collision is done on engines that have objects moving at speeds faster than one pixel at a time.
For example, the attached video is a program of mine own, made in Python. It's a simple physics engine, but the block never has a speed bigger than one pixel, and I am using Fixed Point (x256) to get more precision.
I know, though, that on larger games objects need to move faster, but collision still works pretty well.
X = X + HORIZONTAL_ACCELERATION;
Y = Y + VERTICAL_ACCELERATION;
Basically, what I thought was. Instead of doing the code above, do:
While i < HORIZONTAL_ACCELERATION
Check_Collision();
X++
End
So, I thought I could add a bit of acceleration at a time, and check for collision all the time. However, I'm not sure if this is a very good idea, because I can't do X++. Sometimes, acceleration is negative.
I'm wondering if any of you has any idea of how collision is done on games, thanks!

UPDATE
-Added Shuffle feature
-Song title at the top no longer says undefined when it can't find the ID3 tags
Great, shuffle!

Feel free to copy my tutorials all you want, just make sure to credit me.
That makes two of us.

I decided to port the Falling Blocks game I made for the TI Nspire Game Contest to computers, and I made it in Java, with a screen of 852*600. The graphics are as simple as the ones of the original game. It's almost an exact port, I wanted to keep it fast and simple, like the original. Here's a couple of screenshots of it running. Oh and it's open-source, the source is included.  Blocks falling in the title screen "Deathly" blocks are read, and the other are greenOn the attached zip, "FallingBlocks.class" is the main class, so to run it, just do java FallingBlocks, or open FallingBlocks.class using the Java Runtime program, if you prefer to do it with the mouse.

I do not have a cellphone, but if I was to get one, it might be android. After all, I already have an iPod Touch. Not sure if I want a cellphone yet, though, because I do not call/receive calls often and the plans are still quite expensive, although being able to go online from elsewhere is definively cool, especially if I got a 1 hour bus ride. 
It's quite surprising that in the modern society someone like you doesn't have a cell phone, but I guess that if you don't need it, it's ok. But can't you go to the Internet on the iPod Touch?

Oh wow... I pressed back then next again and it let me install it... Thanks ephan! And thanks again for the congrats lol
Yeah I knew there was something like that  And be warned, the time I used the Android SDK on Windows, the emulator was so slow, I hope it's not like that for you.

No budget lol. I had Tracfone, but as of two days ago I have Verizon. The HTC Droid Incredible 2 (which I'm using to type this) was USD$200 but my mom works at a hospital so I got 25% off.
EDIT: Er, no budget anymore lol. Now I just need to get the Android SDK to realize I have the JDK installed... Grr...
You also need it to be in the path, but I remember that on Windows, there was a secret thing to make it work on the setup, you had to go previous and then next or something. On Linux it worked perfectly for me Installing programs on Windows is too hard. Either way, congrats on your new acquisition!

I always use the most basic tools for web development, sometimes I even use nano to edit my files.
nano is just a text editor, like Notepad++ (I don't understand the "even"). Either way, I think a tabbed text editor is the best thing for Web Development and Programming, I end up using vim a lot for it. I find HTML very easy. I use microsoft word if using windows. And Abiword if using Linux.
Microsoft Office Word to develop HTML? I hope it works for you, but it doesn't make much sense IMO, it doesn't have syntax highlighting and it's CPU Consuming, unlike, MS Notepad or Notepad++. And you also have to pay for it, unlike what happens with Notepad++ or vim, or nano or most text editors. Either way, aren't we get off-topic here?

You're creating a new object (a thread) inside your class and calling one of its methods. I'm pretty sure you can't do that, you can only have code there to initialize variables. You can instead do "Thread myThread = new Thread(..);" and then in your constructor do "myThread.start();" Or just move it all to the constructor since you don't need the object after that.
Thanks, it makes sense, but I can do the same thing, but using a Timer as nemo said. I figured it out, and now I have a main game loop, thanks a lot!

}This is my whole code, Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:

Syntax error on token "}", delete this token
at Game.<init>(Game.java:22) The Java compiler returned that. I'm not sure of what's wrong, seems like not matching braces, but it all looks correct.
