Finally someone who explained the difference between a JFrame and a JPannel

Incredible tutorial. I was reading Java Swing documentation over the last week and was making a game (solely for practice) with only JPanels, JButtons, JDialogues etc etc but I felt the LayoutManagers were too restrictive and not great options for switching between views in a game (although great for other type of apps) The whole time I kept thinking I was missing something and hadn't realized paintComponent was called automatically and I can essentially draw my entire game with it. This is incredible thank you! Back to the drawing board for me haha

I'm a Brazilian Java programmer (sorry for the bad english), I was looking for a content like this, it's really fun to watch your videos, like we say in Brazil, você é incrível (you are awesome)!

[Monoplacophora]

The very moment you said, I'm the type of person that likes to understand what's going on behind the scenes I instantly subscribed. I absolutely love Java, thank you sir, now it's time to sit back and enjoy your channel.

Спасибо вам за видео! Не мог долко найти нормальный бесплатный курс по созданию игры на java, и вот наткнулся на ваш канал. Hello from Russia

[idiboss]

Thank you, I'm here because our teacher didn't teach us shit. This helps so much for me to actually understand how java works.

[Nawkz]

Despite being Brazilian and not understanding English perfectly, I wanted to thank you for creating content like this and inspiring many people to enter this great world. I'm starting a game now and I'll try to understand your videos because I'm sure they will help me a lot.😀💜

[SSgamer]

This is so easy to follow and I love that you explain each step with details.

[davidszekely]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate that there are good 2022 Java game developement videos on Youtube, thanks to you.

[marcelogamer]

Bro! Thanks for the explanations! Hi from Brazil :)

[rorozoro]

Started out with the series today, the first video was really informative and filled with great content. Looking forward to completing it, thanks for the content<3

[dileriano]

Thank you so much... I was desperately looking for someone to explain everything they type for me. you are a rare gem because you put a lot of time and effort to explain the simplest things which we really need to understand.

[Eleciscool]

This tutorial is perfect and so helpful! I learned java for Minecraft plugins so it's cool to use it for a game!

[williamkmanire]

Well done tutorial. I like how you purposely sequence things to show common problems when you forget a step, such as adding the JPanel to the JFrame.

[RagnarLodbrokV]

Look at those Java classes, such clean methods! everything so well moduled. Mua! chef's kiss

[youraverageguy]

It still baffles me to this day how shit like this is free. This is soooo good. The video just reignited my passion for coding

[nivedmorts]

Thanks for explaining the concepts along the way. This tutorial beats others where it's just the youtuber typing or copy and pasting code.

[razvedchik]

This channel is worthy of more than a million
