Actually, it looks like you have more than one source packages/folder. Player, skills and enemy are source folder. You should create all your packages within "Source Packages" so it woud look like:

Source Packages
     Player
         Character
     Skills
         Skills
     Enenmy
         Alien etc

I think the error is that your character class is not inside thing.player package, but actually inside thing.player.<default package>. Move your classes outside of the default package. i think you are supposed to replace the default package.

No probs, glad I could help 

 Try going to "Tools -> Options -> Editor -> Highlighting" and uncheck the "Keep Marks" option.

I dont think you can turn it off as such, but you can set its colour to the background colour which will hide it

I believe netbeans highlights all occurrences of whatever variable etc you have selected. The pink line is the margin at which your code gets wrapped, once it exceeds it.

Ok, Frame it is then. Thanks Ra4king

Greetings all!

First post here on JGO. Looking forward to learning and contributing 

I am using a Canvas within a JFrame and was wondering, should I be using a Frame instead of a JFrame? Also, should the creation and showing of either (Frame/JFrame) be done on the EDT thread?

Thanks!
