I have spent the past week trying to convert my code but without success. To be honest, I don't have that much experience in java, and this thing is giving me a headache. I am totally confused. below is a simple animation code in passive rendering (similar to the code that I use in my game). Can you please help me to convert it to active rendering. If you have the time to help me with this, then I am sure I will be able to do it for the rest of my game. I hope I'm not asking for too much. Thanx The below code uses 7 GIF images for pacman animation. ----------------------------------- 1

Well the problem is that in my game, almost all the logic is performed in the paint/paintComponent method. From what I read in Sun's website, this is passive rendering and is not really good idea to use for a game.
But the problem is I have not been able to find much information and tutorials about active rendering. So I don't exactly know how to use it for my game.
>Pacman should easily perform with 500fps on a
modern box, even with Java.
500 fps, wow!!!! and I thought getting 33 fps is ideal.

I dont have that much experience in Java, and only a few days ago I realised that I need to use Active rendering instead of passive rendering for my pacman game. The game runs fine when I run it on my own PC (P4 2Ghz 512 ram) and I get around 33 fps. But if I run it on computers with lower specs (below 1Ghz) the game runs really slow (about 17 fps). I know this could be because of passive rendering since pacman is not really a processor hungry application to use all of the system's recources.
The problem is I can't really find much information on active rendering (except the article on Sun's website). Could you point my to some tutorials or examples on active rendering. (or if you could give me some guidelines)
Thanx

Java Game APIs & Engines / Java 2D / Problem with repainting of the screen: Please Help
|
on: 2003-01-08 21:24:42

Ok I have three files, the first is my Pacman game (File is called Game.java), that deals with displaying the main interface of the game (pacman animation, etc). I am trying to keep track of the number of food bits remaining in the maze. So I have the second file responsible for receiving the variable FOOD_COUNTER from Game.java, and then paint the value on the screen ( This file is called Score.java). See the codes below. Now the third file is a layout manager that uses GridBag layout, and is suppose to add the two above files to the main interface. The problem I have with running the files, is that when the value of the FOOD_COUNTER is updated in Game.java (ie when pacman eats a bit food in the maze), the new value is not painted to the screen in Score.java. HOWEVER, if I minimize the window and maximize it again, I see the new value of the FOOD_COUNTER painted on the screen. I can't figure out how to sort this problem. (if I try to add repaint() to the paintComponent() method in Score.java the program runs, but it slows down horribly). Can you please help me? Thanks Here are the codes This code is responsible for Pacman animation, adding the food to the maze etc. -------------------------------------------- 1

Could it be because I have put setIgnoreRepaint(true); in the wrong place? If anyone does know why this happens, then please tell me.
