World and Camera - How to Make a 2D Game in Java #5
1,090In this video, we will render a world map on the screen.
Also we implement a camera function so the camera follows the player character and display the tiles around the player.
Implementing camera might be a bit confusing at first so no need to rush. Try to understand little by little then I think you will get it in the end. Of course, if you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment.
Caution: This is a tutorial for Java 2D beginners so it's pretty verbose! (and the pacing is a bit slow...)
