This report is an exploration of basic principles of game programming with Java. In this report, a basic framework is discussed and provided for programming Java games. Some issues related to Java technology are also researched and placed forward. On the base of the basic principles for Java game programming, an online game is designed and implemented. As this is a project jointly with Ye Zhu, in this report the design of the game is only briefly described. 1 Some common suggestions on writing Java programs are also provided for making fast and efficient Java games. All in all, this report not only covers knowledge on Java game programming, but also some concepts related Java technology and object-oriented programming. 1 For the detail of the design and implementation of this game, please refer to the collaborated work Ye Zhu's report [13]
