Double Buffering with 2 or more objects in JAVA
Post: #1
Hi, i'm working on to make a simple River Raid type game. I'm using double buffering for preventing flickin in one image however when i want to use another moving object, it goes crazy and both images start to flick. Because of making nearly more than 100 objects in a screen it seems a huge problem for my project.
Simply i have 2 questions and my code is below;
1) I need to prevent flicking in another images that i will add(as enemies)
2) Need to prevent flicking in my space ships bullets.I'm trying to do this by now. I need to draw an oval object with double buffering but it refuses as i said.
The code with one object that works perfectly(only a moving image with double buffering) is below, and the other one i tried to add a simple rectangle is under it.
Thanks for any help!

To begin with your not using double-buffering in the applet with a moving rectangle.
When you override the paint function you should avoid any unnecessary drawing there.
For a proper double-buffering to work everything in the paint function must be drawn somewhere else(in the game loop).
Just send me a message if you need some more explanation.

I double buffer like this.
Code:
Image im = new Image(getSize().width, getSize().height);
Graphics g;
public void paint(Graphics g2) {
g = im.getGraphics();
g.clearRect(0, 0, width, height);
my_paint(g);
g2.drawImage(im, 0, 0, this);
}
public void myPaint(Graphics g) {
// draw a bunch of objects
}Sir, e^iπ + 1 = 0, hence God exists; reply!

I actually prefer using BufferStrategy(java.awt.image.BufferStrategy) for double buffering, something in the style of:
Normally I put the graphics part in it's own thread(only necessary in graphics intense applications(not pong)) running while the physics thread pauses or checks for collisions.
On the other hand I'm convinced that for game programming JOGL, SDL(tough they didn't have a mac port last time I checked) or any other OpenGL bind is to be preferred.
Code:
f1.createBufferStrategy(2);
BufferStrategy BF = f1.getBufferStrategy();
Graphics G = BF.getDrawGraphics();
G.drawALotOfStuff(:p);
BF.show();On the other hand I'm convinced that for game programming JOGL, SDL(tough they didn't have a mac port last time I checked) or any other OpenGL bind is to be preferred.
