So I have started learning Java for my senior project at school and I would really like to make a tower defense game as my project. I have been looking for tutorials that would help but I am having trouble finding some. I have been using www.javacoffeebreak.com and I've been using their online text book to help me learn the basics. I'm pretty sure I will be told to try learning flash to do this but I have tried using flash and I really don't enjoy using it, but with Java I have a BLAST coding! If anyone has any tips or tutorials they could give me that would be great, I am not very far with the online textbook, I have just started learning about animation and drawing very basic graphics to the screen but at least its a start! I would greatly appreciate any tips and tutorials!
