Setting up Cell2D in Eclipse IDE
- 1.Download Cell2D.
- 2.Extract the Cell2D ZIP file. Inside is a folder called Cell2D-<version>, where <version> is Cell2D's version number.
- 3.Open Eclipse IDE.
- 1.In the Package Explorer tab, right-click or control-click on the project that you want to use Cell2D with. Select Properties.
- 2.In the list on the left of the Properties window, select Java Build Path. In the row of tabs at the top, select Libraries.
- 3.Select Add External JARs. Navigate to the folder Cell2D-<version>/lib/ and add all of the JARs in there: lwjgl.jar, lwjgl_util.jar, jorbis-0.0.17-1.jar, and TiledReader.jar. Then, add Cell2D-<version>/natives/jinput.jar, and finally add Cell2D-<version>/Cell2D.jar.
- 1.Make a new folder, preferably in the folder of your Eclipse project. This folder will contain the native libraries that Cell2D, and thus your game, needs in order to run.
- 2.Now you need to copy the native libraries into your new folder.
- 1.No matter what, copy Cell2D-<version>/natives/jinput.jar. Despite being a JAR file, jinput.jar only works if it's included in the native library path, at least from my experience.
- 2.If you want your game to run on Windows (32-bit), copy the files in Cell2D-<version>/natives/windows32/.
- 3.If you want your game to run on Windows (64-bit), copy the files in Cell2D-<version>/natives/windows64/.
- 4.If you want your game to run on Mac OS X, copy the files in Cell2D-<version>/natives/macosx/.
- 5.If you want your game to run on Linux (32-bit), copy the files in Cell2D-<version>/natives/linux32/.
- 6.If you want your game to run on Linux (64-bit), copy the files in Cell2D-<version>/natives/linux64/.
- 3.In your project's
main()method, before you callCellGame.startGame(), callCellGame.loadNatives("<path>"), where <path> is the path from your project's folder to the native library folder. - 4.When distributing your game, make sure to include the native library folder.
