Believe it or not, you can actually program games directly on this web page without installing any software. To do so, you'll need an account. Talk to your instructor about providing you with an account. If you don't have one, you'll need some of the software below.

Java for Windows/Linux/UNIX

Choose the online or offline version for your operating system.
Note: Unlike when you install other programs, you don't just run the Java application once it's installed. Instead, intalling Java allows you to create programs. Don't be alarmed if nothing shows up after you install it, just check to see that you can run the example applets on the FANG Engine webpage.

Java for Mac OS X

Integrated Development Environment

Audio/Visual Tools

Also, download and unzip the LAME MP3 encoder. The first time you try to export an mp3 it will ask you for the location of lame_enc.dll. This is one of the files included in the LAME MP3 download.
