I noticed in Run that a lot of time was spend in getBufferedimage. This is probably due to reading in all the images from disk repeatedly, and this could be reduced by creating a hashmapped cache.

It would be nice to have the ability to tell if a song
is currently playing. This feature could be used to
allow multiple tracks to be played, and seamlessly
flowing between each track.

The method creates a new point to return every time it is called. Could be a performance issue.

Animation needs more options, allowing more control over it's looping behavior.

No sound plays upon calling sound.play();

If such a way exists to have a sound play, then
it is constructed in a non-obvious way.

The Layers variable needs to be removed, it's no longer needed.
An ENUM is needed.

Sprite needs more information to better control itself without external support.

I think it should:

• Have a method call which tells the Room that it needs to be removed.
• Have a method call which tells Room that it is offscreen and doesn't need to be rendered.

It's really time consuming/difficult to display text. That should be fixed. Maybe a nice couple fonts could be available to download as well.

Title says it all.

• Ogg
• Mp3
• FLAC

Needs to be a way to use spritesheets without having to manually cut up the images.

There needs to be a large assortment of tests.

Including:

Collisions

• BoundingBox to BoundingBox
• BoundingCircle to BoundingCircle
• BoundingBox to BoundingCircle
• Pixel Perfect Collision

Changing rooms doesn't affect the collision detection.
Needs tests to ensure that it works correctly.

3 more extensions of Room are needed to Fully encompass each room type. These types are:

• Tiled Rooms (Square Tiles)
• Isometric Rooms
• Hex Tiles

There will need to be several different changes to both Room and Sprite to accommodate these types. Each of the Room types are going to be hardcoded in, there doesn't seem to be any real way to create an abstraction that can apply to each type of room, without knowledge of what that type is.

Thus, Room will have an Enum of each of the 4 types:

• NORMAL
• TILED
• ISOMETRIC
• HEX

All defaults will be normal. If nothing is specified then normal will be used. Sprite will have to be given a Room type if it is to enable a different type of room.

An Error Console/Error report too need to pop up in case the Game Engine crashes.

The game engine does not have any support for isometric rooms, thus rendering it incompatable with the TMX format.

There seems to be problems starting a fullscreen session in Linux.

Both Ubuntu 11.11 64bit and ArchLinux 64bit display this problem.

BoundingBox should not be creating so many new Points, as it slows the collision detection down and makes the GC run too often.
