I would strongly advise against using any sort of software rendering, i.e.: using exclusively AWT or Swing to create games. Not only is it slow, but these libraries are not meant for game development nor do they support hardware acceleration: a must for any 3D or good-looking 2D game. Try to use OpenGL ports to Java such as the LWJGL or JOGL or abandon Java entirely and try game development with C++.

when i run the program my background does not go black like in the last tutorial it doesn't seem to add any graphics! any help?

[ZaplikPolska]

I am doing it differently (One class that extends Canvas with main method + SpriteSheet class for drawing images). But anyway your tuts are great :)

[ZaplikPolska]
