Pro Java 9 Games Development: Leveraging the JavaFX APIs

Autor Wallace Jackson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 noi 2017
Use Java 9 and JavaFX 9 to write 3D games for the latest consumer electronics devices. Written by open source gaming expert Wallace Jackson, this book uses Java 9 and NetBeans 9 to add leading-edge features, such as 3D, textures, animation, digital audio, and digital image compositing to your games.

Along the way you’ll learn about game design, including game design concepts, genres, engines, and UI design techniques. To completely master Java 3D game creation, you will combine this knowledge with a number of JavaFX 9 topics, such as scene graph hierarchy; 3D scene configuration; 3D model design and primitives; model shader creation; and 3D game animation creation. With these skills you will be able to take your 3D Java games to the next level.

The final section of Pro Java 9 Games Development puts the final polish on your abilities. You’ll see how to add AI logic for random content selection methods; harness a professional scoring engine; and player-proof your event handling. After reading Pro Java 9 Games Development, you will come away with enough 3D expertise to design, develop, and build your own professional Java 9 games, using JavaFX 9 and the latest new media assets.
What You’ll Learn
  • Design and build professional 3D Java 9 games, using NetBeans 9, Java 9, and JavaFX 9
  • Integrate new media assets, such as digital imagery and digital audio
  • Integrate the new JavaFX 9 multimedia engine API
  • Create an interactive 3D board game, modeled, textured, and animated using JavaFX
