I get 900-1000 fps while playing, around 500 while paused.

4	Game Development / Newbie & Debugging Questions / Re: Why is my JPanel too big?	on: 2009-02-02 07:00:56
I think I found the problem. Calling setResizable after calling pack() within the JFrame constructor made the JPanel bigger than it needed to be. Still not sure why or how the frame would add extraneous pixels to my panel dimensions but it's fixed.

Game Development / Newbie & Debugging Questions / Why is my JPanel too big?

on: 2009-01-29 08:52:52

I'm trying to make my first game and I'm having a strange problem. In my panel class I have

1 2	private static final int WIDTH = 640; private static final int HEIGHT = 480;

and I use these for both creating the panel

1	setPreferredSize(new Dimension(WIDTH, HEIGHT));

and creating an image to draw to the screen.

1	image = createImage(WIDTH,HEIGHT);

But for some reason when I run the program it makes the panel 650 by 490 which is 10 pixels too big in both directions. I have no idea what is causing this. I have fixed it by changing the panel constructor to

1	setPreferredSize(new Dimension(WIDTH-10, HEIGHT-10));

but I don't understand why I need to be doing such a thing.

I've tried using different dimensions and no matter what I pick, both sides are always 10 pixels too big, except that the width never goes below 118. When I tried WIDTH = 1 and HEIGHT = 1, I ran my program and it gave me a panel that was 118 by 11.

Quote from: javacrazed on 2009-01-23 09:31:54 I am from Los Angeles , CA and we take those types of jokes with a grain of salt, (its obvious there wasn't any racism were all blue pixels on the screen) Wow, racism and generalizing an entire city. I'm sure quite a few of the 18 million people in LA would be offended by those kinds of remarks. But we're all just pixels, so it means nothing right!

I get the same problem in Vista64 Home Premium. Pressing alt+arrow at the same time does nothing but pressing alt by itself, then up or down by itself, brings up the annoying menu.
