Object-oriented programming: a style of computer programming that uses different modules of code that build on each other or work together to create a program. OOP (for short) is commonly used today rather than line after line of code, to make programs more organized as collections of smaller units. This is an essential technique in programming today, and I will teach it to my best ability in this tutorial using the well-known programming language (and my favorite) Java. Note: this tutorial is currently a rough draft, but will be improved soon! Good luck!

Beginning Object-Oriented Programming: Make a Simple Game With Java
For this guide, it would be helpful if you have had basic experience in programming, but if you haven't, you'll be fine. I go step by step through all the things you need to begin, and very little to no prior knowledge is assumed.

Step #1:
- Setup:
- Before you begin coding, you need something called the JDK. This stands for Java Development Kit, and is Java's free way of letting you program in their language. Just click this link, and you will be led to the JDK 5.0 download page.
- After downloading the JDK package, follow the instructions to install it on your computer. Make sure to use the default options for where you install the JDK, because that will come in handy later.
