DOWNLOAD THE SOURCE

You are free to redistribute, to modify and to use the Meat Fighter^TM source code in your own programs at no cost as described by the GNU General Public License.

Meat Fighter^TM was designed with future projects in mind. The full-screen animation code, the sound effects and music code and the event timing code was placed into a separate gamingtools package. For your convenience, it can be downloaded as gamingtools.jar. Here is the gaming tools javadoc bundled as a zip file. You can view it online here.

The full source code for Meat Fighter^TM and the gaming tools library can be found here. Make sure you're equipped with Java version 1.4.1_02 or above.

Check out my Java Developer's Journal article for a tutorial on how to use the gaming tools library and for an explanation on how the code works. The page of code listings does not appear in the printed magazine due to space limitations. You can download the missing page here. Or view the listings online with one of the following links:
