The function is not working any idea how to fix this. If it helps I am using this tutorial [this video] . public void run() { long lastTime = System.nanoTime(); double amountOfTicks = 60.0; double ns = 1000000000 / amountOfTicks; double delta = 0; long timer = System.currentTimeMillis(); int frames = 0; while (running) { long now = System.nanoTime(); delta += (now - lastTime) / ns; lastTime = now; while (delta >= 1) { tick(); delta--; } if (running) { render(); frames++; if (System.currentTimeMillis() - timer > 1000) { timer += 1000; System.out.println("FPS: " + frames); frames = 0; } } stop(); } private void tick(); { } private void render(); { BufferStrategy bs = this.getBufferStrategy(); if (b

I'm learning to build a game with this tutorial on youtube: [this video] I've went over the code a few times now and I can't seem to find a discrepancy between my code and the code used in the tutorial. I'm also getting this information in my terminal: new Window(WIDTH, HEIGHT, "Let's Build A Game!", this); ^ constructor Window.Window(GraphicsConfiguration) is not applicable (actual and formal argument lists differ in length) constructor Window.Window() is not applicable (actual and formal argument lists differ in length) constructor Window.Window(Frame) is not applicable (actual and formal argument lists differ in length) constructor Window.Window(Window) is not applicable (actual and formal arg

I have been trying to follow a simple tutorial online( [this video] ). When I try to enter the code that he enters I don't get the same results. Some things that I type end up as errors that it can't use. It happens particularly when I try to use GetBufferStrategy. I'm not quite sure what is wrong with my code. I could really use some help. Here's what I've got : package components; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.image.BufferStrategy; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.FlowLayout; import java.awt.Graphics; import java.awt.Graphics2D; import java.awt.LayoutManager; import java.awt.event.KeyEvent; import java.awt.event.KeyListener; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; impo

To clarify, I know why my game is running slow. I have a lot of different objects in the current area and it has to tick and render all of those objects. I just don't know how to fix the problem without just making less objects. The answer I am looking for is more of a concept of how I can go about fixing this problem rather than just making a bunch of code for me to paste into my game. I am designing my games based off of tutorials by RealTutsGML [this video] . There where some issues I had to work around with his method of building games, but I figured them out. So every tick in my game, I have to look through all of the objects that currently exist. The more objects that exist, the longer it t

I started a game, but there is something wrong with it. It actually don't shows anything and neither give me an error. It just run it and do nothing else. Here are my codes: CLASS package Game; import java.awt.Canvas; import java.awt.Dimension; import javax.swing.JFrame; public class Window extends Canvas{ private static final long serialVersionUID = -2408406005333728354L; public Window(int height, int width, String title, Game game){ JFrame tit = new JFrame(title); tit.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(width, height)); tit.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(width, height)); tit.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(width, height)); tit.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); //It make the game close

I am following this guy's video: [this video] . Also, I'm using Netbeans. Each time I run it, like when I tried using preffered size instead of set size, it still outputs a small window. public class APCSGame extends Canvas implements Runnable{ ... public final int WINWIDTH=1000,WINHEIGHT=500, SCALE=1;; JFrame frame; private BufferedImage backgroundMenu=null; public APCSGame(){ frame=new JFrame("Testing it out boiiiii"); setSize(WINWIDTH*SCALE,WINHEIGHT*SCALE); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); frame.setLayout(null); frame.add(this); frame.pack(); frame.setResizable(false); frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null); frame.setVisible(true); } ... public static void main(String[] args)

Cites Snogg · 2017-12 · Stack Overflow · on “Java Thread in while-loop mystery”

I am developing a little jump and run game in Java. My game is overall based on an youtube tutorial ( [this video] ). I was creating a jump() method for the player. It works now thats cool but, I wanted that the player is moving 2 "fields" up with a velocity of 2. So I created a while loop which is asking for the height (or y-value) every-time and if it is smaller or even, then it sets velocity to 0. But for some reason I have to ask the Y value in the body of the while loop without doing anything with it in a extra thread (recognised that when it works while printing y). public static void jump(GameObject pObject) { if (pObject.getSpeedY() == 0) { int tmpY = pObject.getY(); pObject.setSpeedY(-2)
