Killer Teddy Bear will be Open Source
January 23rd, 2007Hi, his name is Teddy, the killer bear… and he is the protagonist of the game I developed this christmas for one subject of the university.
It is done in Java, using Java2d and the funny part is that you can play it online with other friend. I tried to play with one friend from Spain (I’m in Poland now) and it worked perfectly. Great Java sockets!
I didn’t do the graphics! They are collected from other games and I don’t use them for commercial purpose, just for having something to test the game. They are are protected by their respective copyrights. The funny sprite of the teddy bear was made by Squeaky the Zepa.
The good news is that I will release the full source code for you guys (under GPL license)! Let me some days for preparing the source code (I want to improve some things). I will publish it as soon as possible.
After the publishing I will explain a bit how it works the game and what were the tricky parts. Maybe a small tutorial.
Just a bit of patient!
Ah! I forgot to say I got the better mark for this subject 
Hi, I would like to play that game! where is it? And I’m really looking forward to the code. I’m coding a couple of games in Java nowadays and I’m very interested in develop a multiplayer game in Java. Did you use RMI?
Congratulations on your mark!

Thank you Juanmi
I like that you get interested in the source code and I promise you I will release it soon. I only use Java sockets and object streams for the communication.
Just let me 1 week, or maybe less, and I will publish the game.

And I’m keeping my eye out for your code too, I like your Game Life! I did something similiar lot of years ago in Pascal, but it was more much simple that yours. I’ve been playing quite a lot with your applet. Very interesting!
For those of you that havent tried yet Juanmi’s game here it is the link: http://deadchannel.blogsome.com/
