Greenfoot is a combination integrated development environment and framework for doing 2-dimensional graphics. It greatly simplifies doing graphics in Java, while simultaneously demonstrating objects and classes.

The Greenfoot package relies on the GreenFinch class, written by Michael Berry, a member of the Greenfoot team at the University of Kent. The API of this class is documented on our site.

The GreenFinch class is backed by the full Finch java package, and it is possible to use all of the capabilities of this package (including reading RSS feeds, and manipulating computer audio). Therefore, we also suggest you look through the regular Finch javadocs.

Hands-on Programming with Greenfoot. Introduction to Programming with Greenfoot: Object-Oriented Programming in Java with Games and Simulations teaches the basics of Java computer programming languages in the context of Greenfoot. Readers are able to learn the general fundamentals and principles of programming by creating their very own fun.

1. Find greenfoot.defs (probably in /usr/share/greenfoot) and change the following line from:

bluej.vm.args=-Xincgc -Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=true

to:

bluej.vm.args=-Xincgc -Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=true -Djava.library.path=.

2. Launch Greenfoot with sudo.

1. Download one of Greenfoot’s Finch packages and unzip it to a convenient directory.

2. Double click on the project.greenfoot file to open it in Greenfoot.

3. Note that you will need Greenfoot v2.01 or higher for the Finch to work.

1. Hit the Run button, ensure your Finch is plugged in.

1. Right-click on one of the actor classes to create a new object that will act in the world. Select “New subclass…” and give the subclass an image and name.

The Finch Greenfoot package has the following folders:

Readme – Read this first!

finchstarter – A starter world set up to work with Finch.

finchdemo – A Greenfoot-built control panel that visualizes Finch sensor data and allows you to set all of the Finch’s outputs.

finchlight – A simple program demonstrating interaction of the motors, light sensors, and a graphical slider.

GreenFinchDoc – The documentation for the GreenFinch class.

javadocs – The documentation of the full Finch java package.

licenses – Licensing details.

Version 1.1 compatibility fixes with Greenfoot’s Color library.

Version 1.0 is now available and has been successfully tested on Windows XP 32-bit, Windows 7 64-bit, Mac OS 10.6, and Ubuntu 10.04 with Greenfoot 2.0.1.

Greenfoot

Greenfoot is an integrated development environment that makes it easy to write games and simulations in the Java Programming Language. It comes with a broad range of demo scenarios and documentation that gets newcomers started very quickly. Greenfoot may be used to learn or teach programming, or just to put a cool game up on a website. (Yes, Greenfoot can export the game to a web page!) Originally developed for school age learners, but now used by all age groups.

Consider greenfoot as a combination between a framework for creating two-dimensional grid assignments in Java and an integrated development environment (class browser, editor, compiler, execution, etc.) suitable for novice programmers. While greenfoot supports the full Java language, it is especially useful for programming exercises that has a visual element. In greenfoot object visualisation and object interaction are the key elements.

If you know BlueJ and a microworld framework (like Karel the Robot or the AP Marine Biology Case Study) consider greenfoot as the best from both: object interaction (BlueJ) and object visualisation (microworlds).
