*Updates*
If you wish to make the "mainTextArea" non-editable, please add this line:


If you wish to wrap lines at word boundaries, please add this line:


If your text doesn't show up unless you resize the window, please try:
Move "window.setVisible(true);" to the bottom of the Game method (right below "con.add(startButtonPanel);")

I really like the tutorial it's really helpful!

One thing I did that I would recommend other people is creating a seperate method for the button, so that you don't have to write the same code mulitple times.
Such as:
choiceOne = ChoiceButton();
choiceTwo = ChoiceButton();

public JButton ChoiceButton( ){
JButton button;
button = new JButton();

button.setFont(Font buttonFont);
return button;
}

Saves you some time makes it a little more readable.

watching in 2022; can't believe you dont have more subscribers, feels like i hit gold. thank you so much for all of your tutorials :) i'm creating my own game to put on my resume and these have been very helpful and just in my skill set

This is very good and easy to understand.
just wanted to show a simpler way to implement the single interface ActionListener() using lambda

Instead of creating a whole new inner Class and new object, you can do this:

createGameScreen());

This one line is enough. You don't need the extra inner class or an object of the class.

To save yourself time, you can always just using a * with imports to import entire packages, so java.awt.*, java.awt.event.* and javax.swing.* will import all you need, as far as I know, havent finished the tutorial yet.

Your video series is amazing!
Would it be possible for you to upload the next part this week? I am desperate here! I have a mini-project deadline soon and i don't know how to put the game text onto the screen. :P
Thank you so much.
