Slick Forums

I've tried with Android 2.2 and this is my result (same on phone, here desktop version)



can you explain what I need to do ?

You've done everything right, that's all i've coded for the MarteEngine AE so far. It does show however, that MarteEngine works on Android. The reason I havn't coded the example project I posted any further is because I cannot get the input in Paddle.java to work. The game was essentially going to be a brick breaker clone.

ok, right, now I've got it

I've re-done your example to a most basic one, with Android and MarteEngine (v0.3 in development), for anyone want to start from a template project.

we need to refine this process, my aim to have something like:
1) one desktop project as template for MarteEngine+slick+lwjgl all setup and ready to run,
2) one android project with launcher for desktop project

any ideas on that ?

What do you mean?
And has anyone figured out why my input methods are not working? They should work on at least the desktop launcher.

I've had a look and you're doing everything right. So it has to be a problem with the AE API, the ApplicationGDXContainer probably.

I have no experience with Slick AE, sadly.

Odd, hopefully someone can figure it out. Or.. take a look at the example project and see how the creator of that implemented input.

EDIT: Or wait, there is no Android Marte Engine examples with input.

Sorry for double post but i have the solution. Very obvious, Slick-AE uses Libgdx to work with Android. Well, below is what needs to be added onto whichever entity you want input to be given. Adding it to world (probably your main class too) acts as a sort of global input, while adding it to specific entity will allow it to interact with inner methods/only work when that entity is created.

cool!

So i have a level generator that reads the text file by line and makes each character into an entity spawn using

case EXPLANATION_TILE:
world.add(new Tile_Explanation(x, y));
break;
case DEBU5_TILE:
world.add(new Tile_Debu5(x, y));
break;
}

How can I individually reference each of these entities being created? Like if i wanted to call a method on the block being clicked, how do i specifically say, do this method to that block?

check on click on update method of entity

Or store them in an array while creating them and later on in the world's update method check for the mouse click, retrieve the proper array position based on mouse position and call the method on the entity.

Should be a bit less resource hungry because not all entities check on every update if they are clicked...

Depends on the number of entities that you want to react on a mouse click of course. If it's only one for example Gornova's suggestion is way easier to implement and doesn't beat you performance wise.
If you have hundreds of entities where you would want to react on a mouse click I would prefer my approach...

I added a bunch of entities to my world using
Tile_Green tile9 = new Tile_Green(x, y, true);
add(tile9);
inside of my Init method. Outside of Init, how do i go about referencing that entity? Say i wanted to do tile9.methodname();
"methodname() being a method in the class Tile_Green"
Doing this now will not work because tile9 is not able to be referenced.

Has anyone used Nifty gui with Marte engine and have success? I've been trying to get it working for a couple hours but I have failed. I have it able to display and able to click on the buttons etc, but I can't get it to do something when I click on the button.

Example: I click on the Start button it should start the game, but nothing happens. I have no idea what to do. I've tried the following methods in the ScreenController class



Any help is appreciated.

could you give us an example project?
