Java Based Gaming Development Tool Greenfoot

greenfoot logo
Greenfoot is a software that being developed for making game based on the Java programming, this application allow us to build a game based on the scenario we will create. For example we will create a scenario of game where a person will put a garbage on the map and then throw it on the trash can. On those scenario we can create at least 3 actor with the different class, first is the person it's self, second is the garbage and the last one is the trash can. Also just exactly like a common Java programming, each of class can have different attribute and method. Just take actor person as example, a person can have attribute like name, image, fatigue,etc. For person method we can simply fill like move, takeGarbage, etc. Furthermore we can also add a subclass on the class, for brief explanation we can take an garbage class for example.

On garbage class we can open an option of it and add new class to be it sub class, so  now we can have more specific item to be a garbage with the inheritance attribute and method of the garbage class. Personally on my own point of view, this application really good to increasing mood of studying Java programming for student rather than using common application like NetBeans. Myself as student feeling it like we can have our creativity not being held by square of form, form and form. Sometimes I just wondering why we should make a form for each program we make?

Greenfoot it's self offer simple interface, so basically we can said it's really-really user friendly. There is totally no complex-thousand button around the application, you can see it clearly there is only a few of menu on there and those menu are really that menu is menu that-what we just need after all. In addition one of this menu also offer us a link into java tutorial or Greenfoot galery. Greenfoot gallery offer us many example of games that has been successfully create by this application, moreover we can also download it's scenario from there so we can clearly see how those work of coding into a piece of playable games. Curious? then try it by yourself then.
