Setting up Slick2D with NetBeansIDE

77.89.146.66: Fixed broken Slick download link

==Introduction==

This tutorial will run you through the steps you'll need to set Slick2D up with [http://www.netbeans.org/ NetBeans].

Since Slick2D uses [http://www.lwjgl.org/ LWJGL], setup is split into 2 parts, the JAR files, and the LWJGL natives (*.dll files for Windows, *.so files for Unix and Linux and *.dylib/*.jnilib for Mac).

==Downloading and Extracting Slick2D and LWJGL==

* Download [http://slick.ninjacave.com/slick.zip Slick2D]
* Download [http://www.lwjgl.org/download.php LWJGL] standard bundle

* Extract the LWJGL zip (lwjgl-x.x.zip) file somewhere in your computer, remember or note down the location, you will need this later. We suggest you create a library (/lib) folder to store all these files in a well-known place.

# Open up NetBeans.
# Go to Tools|Libraries in the main menu.
# Click on the New Library button.
# Type in Slick2D or any other name that you want for the Library Name.
# Select Classpath tab for your newly created Library and then click the Add JAR/Folder... button.
# Go to where you extracted lwjgl-X.X.zip and add the following '.jar'('Ctrl' or 'Alt' to select multiple files)
## lwjgl.jar
## slick.jar
## jinput.jar
## lwjgl_util.jar (if want to use OpenGL's GLU class)

==Setting Up a Project to use LWJGL in NetBeans==

* In a new Java project:

# Right-Click your project node or go to File>Project Properties and select Libraries
# Add your Slick2D Library , created as instructed above
# Select Run
# On VM Options put the following:

-Djava.library.path=<lwjgl-X.X path>/native/<linux|macosx|solaris|windows>

(*)Note: Remember to select the natives of your operating system.

Hello World

77.89.146.66: Fixed broken English and changed brace placement to make code easier to read

To make sure your setup succeeded, create a main class like the following:
<pre>
package simpleslickgame;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import org.newdawn.slick.AppGameContainer;
import org.newdawn.slick.BasicGame;
import org.newdawn.slick.GameContainer;
import org.newdawn.slick.Graphics;
import org.newdawn.slick.SlickException;

public class SimpleSlickGame extends BasicGame
{
public SimpleSlickGame(String gamename)
{
super(gamename);
}

@Override
public void init(GameContainer gc) throws SlickException {}

@Override
public void update(GameContainer gc, int i) throws SlickException {}

@Override
public void render(GameContainer gc, Graphics g) throws SlickException
{
g.drawString("Howdy!", 10, 10);
}

public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
AppGameContainer appgc;
appgc = new AppGameContainer(new SimpleSlickGame("Simple Slick Game"));
appgc.setDisplayMode(640, 480, false);
appgc.start();
}
catch (SlickException ex)
{
Logger.getLogger(SimpleSlickGame.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
}
</pre>

If a window opens saying 'Howdy!', your setup is fully configured and ready for development.
