Custom Font - How to Make a 2D Game in Java #16

[@LolBruh]

Please keep going with this series, it's insanely helpful!

[@MichaelBrown-j2k]

Amazing work with these tutorials, haven't learnt more in 2 days than what my OOP university course taught me in 4 months.

[@brendanhannum5904]

Great stuff. I had Unity stop working for me a few weeks ago and was unable to do game jams with my friend. Your videos have allowed me to create all the same functionality I needed for 2D games, but in my favorite language.

[@casanova9428]

Your videos are so insightful! I love your content. Keep it up!

[@RyiSnow]

Thank you!

[@arukali319]

It is amazingly interesting and helpful to learn techniques of making a self-defined game, which has always been my dream since I was a kid. Much love for it and thank you so much for your detailed and kind sharing of this series!🥰

[@RyiSnow]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@d1legends157]

No spoilers I’m only on episode 8 but following along! Just wanted to say I love your videos and please never stop :)

[@RyiSnow]

Glad you like it! It's a long series so no need to rush. Thank you for the comment.

[@d1legends157]

@@RyiSnow Of course, I’m really enjoying the series so far! Do you think you could do another series in the future where you create a 3D game from scratch? Like a MineCraft clone?

[@RyiSnow]

Sorry but I'm more of a Terraria guy so if I would make a sandbox tutorial, it will probably be something like that.

[@d1legends157]

@@RyiSnow I would love to follow along with a Terraria tutorial! I think there is so much to learn about player environment interactions. I’ve learned so much from you! I was able to create a 2D Space Simulation with my classmate using your game tutorial for how to understand the graphics. I just saw that you released a video on player health today and I’m excited to watch it! :) Please keep making videos, you are so knowledgeable!

[@RyiSnow]

@@d1legends157 2D Space Simulation sounds interesting! Good job!

Hi RyiSnow, I really like your series, good explanations and covering all the major aspects of game programming. Recently I got interested in parallax (background) scrolling to create a 3D-illusion for a sidescroller I started creating. Unfortunately it's hard to find good information about that topic, especially coding it in Java. Maybe you could make a tutorial on that topic in the future. The effect looks so beautiful. Greetings from Germany!

[@RyiSnow]

Glad you liked it. If I have a chance to create a side-scroller, I'm pretty sure I will try parallax scrolling!

[@nadinewalter-lang9333]

Thank you for alle your videos!

[@cueio7454]

Hello, I'm having problems, it seems that there is some conflict going on between the dialog screen and the "DrawTime" because the font works, but when I open the dialog window it stops working

[@holmdev]

Smart and very good to know

[@the_not_so_great_unknown2170]

After changing the fonts the debugging dont work anymore, how to fix.

[@kevincolgan6651]

really enjoying this. Just a question are you going to animate the water ?

[@RyiSnow]

Not in my current plan but maybe in the future!

[@cedricsahaghian1605]

Thanks for the tutorial!

[@OneLatteComingRightUp]

For me it says that the font file is too big! Can you please help me?

[@nickolasthompson431]

Is there a way to put more white space in between the letters of my custom font? I have a font I really like, but at a small font size it looks very crammed together.

[@atomolson5697]

Try Font.MONOSPACED

[@caareystore4858]

Hey, your videos are good, can you make video about editing tiles? Like planting trees

[@d1legends157]

Could you implement a third dimension in the player class and draw a 3D player?

[@Melvin-14]

no

[@MrLoser-ks2xn]

Thanks!

[@MrLoser-ks2xn]

🥰🥰🥰

[@Clipaholick]

lets go!!

[@sonnguyenhuuhoang8233]

Cool

[@Darkns]

doesn't most programmers make their own font by creating a sprite sheet with the font letters and use it as their own custom fonts?

[@Melvin-14]

not most programers use this, but yes some do, this is a common practice but peopple use but it is totally fine to use other peoples Fonts if they allow it

[@tickus5906]

Pls can you start series about modding " Minecraft "

[@Melvin-14]

he probbly doesnt know anything about the Forge librarys / fabric libraries

[@imnotbeluga007]

This style suspiciously looks like Undertale...

Anyone know why I am getting the error, "Problem reading font data."? Help would be very appreciated !

[@RandomHandle-r2q]

The full error is: java.io.IOException: Problem reading font data. at java.desktop/java.awt.Font.createFont0(Font.java:1204) at java.desktop/java.awt.Font.createFont(Font.java:1073) at main.UI.(UI.java:31) at main.GamePanel.(GamePanel.java:43) at main.Main.main(Main.java:14)

[@Richardsyootube]

@@RandomHandle-r2q Did you figure out your issue? Sounds like the path getting passed to getResourceAsStream() might be written incorrectly. If you are still experiencing the issue you wrote about 2 months ago, maybe you could paste your UI constructor method code here so other commenters can help debug.

[@edboss36]

change the input stream line to: InputStream is = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("Font/DisposableDroidBB.ttf");

[@edboss36]

you see we added a .getClassLoader() inbetween and it worked

[@VasiliyNikitin]
