Adding resources to the project
There are four resources that can be useful for beginners in G-java, and those resources are: Actors, Rooms, Images and Sounds.
There are easy ways to use there resources.
Importing a resource with drag&drop
One of the easiest way to import a resource is using Drag&Drop. Just drag&drop the items into the right folders and you’ll import them easily.
Importing a sound or image using the toolbar
G-java features a very special toolbar with five items.
The firs item is labelled “Add Image” and the second is labelled “Add sound”. We will only talk about the remaining buttons later.
When you click “Add Sound”, a dialog will popup asking you to tell G-java what’s the sound to import. Click on a sound, press “Open” and it will have been successfully imported and placed in the right directory. The same applies to “Add image”.
Creating actors and rooms
The fourth item is called “Add actor” and the fifth “Add Room”, but their behavior is different. When you click, a new empty file will be created in the correct directory, and you will need to use the actor and room editors to edit them. Those editors will be referred in later tutorials.
The third button
The third button of the toolbar is not going to be described yet, because it means “Add Script” and it uses programming languages. Unless you have Java programming knowledge, you should not press the third button.
Once you’ve finished these steps, go to the Manual page and see the next tutorial.
