Slick Forums

I've added a tutorial to the wiki explaining how to keep up with the development branch:

Thanks for doing that. It's very easy to follow.

Thanks davedes, this tutorial really helps. I hope the post gets sticked

It worked like a charm - very easy.

Thanks!

Just thought i'd mention that i had to disable my anti-virus software for it to download and install correctly (using AVG free). I have to do that to update Minecraft too. Hope this helps someone if they have any trouble with it.

Could you explain this step in detail, so that people new to game programming can use the latest build too?

I have this:


What do I have to do with it?
I'm using Eclipse

You'd need to create a new project in Eclipse, then have your game reference that project.

I'd suggest following the second part of the guide instead, which also explains how to compile the pulled source code.

Thanks!
I will try that.

Okay, I can't get it to work.
I downloaded kevglass-slick-9d7443ec33af.zip and extracted trunk\Slick\ to a Java Project folder and created the project for the library in Eclipse.
Then I created a project for my game, and from the project's properties I linked the Slick project as a reference.
Then I downloaded the newest LWJGL build (2.8.4) from its website, and added the jar into the game project (properties->Java Build Path->Libraries->Add Extrenal JARs...).
Now, as I try to run my test app, I get the following error:


I tried to use LWJGL files from the kevglass-slick-9d7443ec33af.zip as well, but they also gave an error:


I tried to follow the Option B tutorial too, but many steps lacked full explanation as to what I should do. It was too incomplete.

I'd like to get the library working with Option A, as I won't be updating it too often.

EDIT: [SOLVED]
I copied the newest .jar and .dll to the Slick library project. Overwriting the .dlls in the root folder, and the .jars in the /lib/ folder.
