SESSION 4 Part2
Let's look at development languages - continued

Ahh, I slept so well!

Sorry about that!
I'll be more careful in future.

I appreciate your help!
 
 
Yes, yes…

Well then, shall we start?

This time we're going to
create a development
environment.


A development environment is
an environment that's needed
to create a program.


You can't create a game with
just a computer.

I mean, when you draw a picture,
you need a pencil and paper, right?
If you draw a picture on a computer,
you need drawing software, right?
 
Yep. That's right.


However, when you create a program,
for this you'll end up needing, well,
various tools and things.

The things you need will also
differ depending on the
development environment.

It's a hassle to collect the various
things yourself,
and I bet you don't really know
what you should collect.
Yes!

I have no idea!



Minimum requirements for Java environment
 
Software Name Details
JDK
(Java Development Kit)
A collection of tools required for development.

Includes Java Runtime (JRE) which is required
for running Java,
and development command groups, libraries,
etc. Free.
OS Command Prompt (Console) Software that can operate the OS using shell commands.

The OS can be operated without using a mouse
by entering commands.
It is often used for automatic processing of the OS,
such as copying files and searching.
For Windows, it is included in 'Accessories'.

Windows Command Prompt
Windows Command Prompt
Text Editor Something that can edit text files, such as Windows Notepad.
 

Yep.

I want a long pencil
and a big piece of paper…

And I want some markers
and some paints, too…
This gives you a sense of
the minimum requirements for
development with Java.

But it's pretty difficult to create
anything with just these.
You'd have to do all sorts of setup yourself,
and if there's a mistake in your program,
it's a real hassle to find the exact spot and
fix it.

To use the example of drawing a
picture…

It's be like,
"I only prepared a short pencil and
a tiny piece of paper."
