A 2D network multiplayer PVP game using LibGDX for graphics and Kryonet for networking.

Note: This project was actually made in 2017 with the help of my friend Aaron Li.

• 2 different classes with their own team colours
  • 
  • 
  • Full Animations for all classes
    • 
    • 
• Custom Level
  • 
• 7000 lines of Java!
• Custom Menu Library for easy UI manipulation

• Learning the Libraries
  • When I first started this project, I had little to no guidance on how to use both Kryonet and LibGDX (the backbones of this project) I had to figure out best practices for using these libraries as well as how I will use these libraries together to create my multiplayer game. I learned ways of using LibGDX that would allow my game to easily grow in size as I add more features and I also spent time figuring out how to make a menu system that would allow me to create new menus more quickly and easily as I finished more parts of the game.
• Collaboration
  • During the early stages of development my partner and I quickly realised our java libraries were unlinked whenever we updated our projects, this was due to how LibGDX handles its files with Gradle. The directories that lead to these libraries would vary by system and so productive workload would cease as we were relinking files. The final solution I came up with was to move the files out of the gradle storage location and bring them along with the project to allow the game to be opened on any IntelliJ system without having to clone my systems exact filesystem layout
