My account says i have 98 left... How the hell did you go through 100 GMAIL invites?

none of those work. I downloaded MANY codec packs, none worked. The zoom setting is fine. This is driving me crazy!

Ok, thanks for the advice. It is only commented out because i was working on it without the image at the time i copied and pasted it. Not an error, i assure you.
How do i make an image semi-transparent?

Hi! Im near completion of my game, and one thing is still needed: Sound.

Does anybody know of any good sound effects websites out there?

class OpeningScreen extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
   Image BackGround = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("BackGroundOpen.gif");
   JPanel TeamPanel = new JPanel(); Border b1 = BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Choose Your Team");
   JPanel HostPanel = new JPanel(); Border b2 = BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Are you Host?");
   JPanel PlayPanel = new JPanel(); Border b3 = BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Play!");
   Box LabelPanel = Box.createVerticalBox();
   boolean bool = false;
   JButton RED = new JButton("Red Team"); JButton BLUE = new JButton("Blue Team");
   JButton Host = new JButton("Host"); JButton Leech = new JButton("Leech");
   JButton Play = new JButton("Play!");
   JLabel QHost = new JLabel(); JLabel QTeam = new JLabel();
   char OpeningTeam = ' ';
   char OpeningHost = ' ';
   Test t;

   OpeningScreen(){
      Play.addActionListener(this);
      RED.addActionListener(this);
      BLUE.addActionListener(this);
      Host.addActionListener(this);
      Leech.addActionListener(this);
      Font f = new Font("Comic Sans MS", Font.PLAIN, 30);
      Color c = Color.BLUE;
      PlayPanel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
      HostPanel.setBorder(b2); TeamPanel.setBorder(b1); PlayPanel.setBorder(b3);
      PlayPanel.add(Play, BorderLayout.CENTER);
      HostPanel.add(Host); HostPanel.add(Leech);
      TeamPanel.add(RED); TeamPanel.add(BLUE);
      QHost.setFont(f); QTeam.setFont(f);
      QHost.setForeground(c); QTeam.setForeground(c);
      //LabelPanel.add(Box.createHorizontalStrut(1));
      LabelPanel.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(30,60)));
      LabelPanel.add(QHost);
      LabelPanel.add(Box.createVerticalStrut(20));
      LabelPanel.add(QTeam);
      this.setSize(400,400);
      this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
      this.add(HostPanel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
      this.add(TeamPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
      this.add(PlayPanel, BorderLayout.EAST);
      this.add(LabelPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
      this.setVisible(true);
   }

    //public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    ///   g.drawImage(BackGround,10,10,this);
    //}


   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
      if(e.getSource() == Play){bool = true;t = new Test();}
      if(e.getSource() == RED){QTeam.setText("Red  ");OpeningTeam = 'R';}
      if(e.getSource() == BLUE){QTeam.setText("Blue ");OpeningTeam = 'B';}
      if(e.getSource() == Host){QHost.setText("Host ");OpeningHost = 'H';}
      if(e.getSource() == Leech){QHost.setText("Leech");OpeningHost = 'L';}
   }


here is the code. i know it probaly sucks, but its for a final project, and i need to get that damn image there!Thanks

Ok, i've made a variety of panels which ive put onto my frame. The problem is everything is gray! I used paintcomponent to put a nice background in and the damn thing doesnt show up! Help please?

I've been using my brothers computer recently, and i noticed a problem with his vid codecs. Every movie is zoomed in! Its messed up! What codec should i download to fix this?

hmm, GIMP eh? I've never cared much for SMS, although i hear its good money.

I had a look into this GIMP thing. Seems quite complicated. What the hell is going on? 

I got this other program in the meantime, this "pixelator" crap, that blows up your image so you can change the individual pixels in a grid, as well as making them transparent. but not what happens is a small portion is transparent while the rest floats in some f*ckin black box that travels around my landscape. Java is quite frustrating, no?

Does anybody know of any good graphics editing programs? I need to clip and make transparent backgrounds, thanks.

It works even worse if i dont use threads! When i hold down a key, it registers it once, then pause, THEN goes on quicker. How do i remove that inital pause?

Hi, im having problems with my keylisteners. Theyre threaded, and the problem is that when i switch the key, it takes a while fo the computer to realize it. The effect is that, for animations, i get one picture moving across the screen until it changes, or when i switch keys quickly the image freezes for a bit. Any help is appreciated.

Wow, thanks! Great Site!

Hi, im making a game in a programming class at my school. I have a character and i want him to walk around. the thing is, I cant draw for sh*t, so my current character is (literally) a stick man. Then when it came to animating, he now looks like a stickman who is swimming. Anyone know where i can get images, along with animations? I dont want to steal anything, I would just like to use something good.

(if the animation could be around 45 x45 pixels, that would be perfect, thanks)

Hi, im making a game and i need some help in calculating some slope stuff.

i basically have two points, and i want to draw a ball travelling between the two. I used Y = mX + b...But when the X points start becoming similar this method goes to pot. It also has differnet speeds depending on where you shoot. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
