Not bad for your first LD! The basic mechanics of a TD game are all there and seem to be working fine when I tried it out. On balancing, the blue towers seemed to be way more effective than the other ones. I started out at your age learning from tutorials and just digging into code. When I finally took a couple programming courses in college, I didn't learn anything new relevant to making games.
not bad
I get an exception Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: main/LD : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0 on OS X Mavericks :(
Jar will not execute on my Mac. Sorry
Nice for first Ludum Dare. Keep it up. :)
Can't run the game... Win 7 64bit
it runs fine on my win 7... i'll try and look in to it
Java Exception.
A java exception has occured ;(
For me too.. :( Which Java version did you build this for?
Runs fine for me. Not a bad first attempt! Enjoyable!
nice work for your age hope to c u in next LD!!
Great for a first game ! Keep pushing ! Basic graphics but working game mechanics most important part for a game ;)
All the core mechanics for tower defense look solid here. Everything is very smooth. Nice work. :)
I started out programming games as a hobby too. :D
Definitely keep at it.
One thing that helped me was working both directly with programming languages (e.g. Java), and with graphical programming tools (e.g. Construct 2). I learned a lot of different stuff from each.
On the text side, you see more of the behind the scenes work that gets glossed over in the graphical tools. On the flipside, In the graphical tools you can prototype some concepts faster, so you get to experiment and revise more rapidly and more often.
You might want to check out Unity, as well as Construct Classic (freeware), and Construct 2 (commercial successor).
The other thing that's helped me, much more recently, is doing jams. I swear, almost nothing encourages getting things done like small projects, and 3rd-party deadlines. :)
