G-java is an application that’s used to make games. G-java is very looked like Game Maker.
G-java 1.x used to convert games made with the Game Maker to Java, but not anymore. G-java 2 has it’s own API, but it’ll still be able to convert Game Maker games.
Java is an interpreted programming language. If you don’t know what’s that, then Java is something that’s used to make applications and some site applets. «Interpreted» means you need to have Java installed in your computer. It also means Java applications can run in Windows, Linux, Mac OS...
G-Java games is as fast as Java. See the Speed article for more details.
You can get the Lite version.
G-java can be slow because it is very heavy because it’s based on NetBeans, so it has many features. You can use the Lite version to speed it up. Games are usually much less heavy and they request less memory!
Run your application. You can close it immediately once it opens or you can make a last test. Go to your project in G-java and drag&drop(or copy paste) one of the following items to the folder where you want to place it
If you choose the applet, you might want to copy ProjectName.html too. Replace ProjectName by your Project’s name.
There is nothing wrong in selling your game. Make sure you don’t have any illegal content in the game and follow the legal procedure specified by your country’s law.
You can it submit it to our Showcase or you can distribute it yourself. You are free to do what you want with your game.
Not really. One of our goals is to provide an easy-to-use environment. If you think it’s hard to use, then link to us so we can solve that problem.
If you are a programmer, you can unleash the full power of G-java. You can make your games with the scripts so you won’t have any problems implementing your skills in G-java. If you want to use a MySQL database, a complex algorithm or something like that, you can do it in G-java as long as you know how to do it in Java!
Java applications are compiled in the jar format, and they need the Java Runtime Environment to be used. However, they can be ran in multiple operative systems. Native applications are compiled in the operative system’s own format, and they don’t need Java. However, they only work in the operative system they were compiled to.
You can do it wih G-C++. However, G-C++ is still in heavy(and early) development and you might want to avoid it for now. Java applications are also very efficient.
You should get an applet viewer or get your browser. Try the HTML file that G-java creates. You need Java installed in your browser.
If you have installed Java in your operative system, you should have file type association, so all you have to do is to double-click it or right-click it, select “Open with...” and pick Java, but if you can’t, you can use the following command-line command: java -jar ApplicationURL
