Slick2D problem, getting an image size / making a grid

[Longarmx]

Hey everybody,

I just started on a new game. This time, I'm trying to use LWJGL and Slick2D instead of just the java native libraries.
I've got the basic framework down, but when I try to make a grid of grass, the grass has black borders and don't line up. This is what I've come up with.

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15   16   17   18   19   20   21   22   23   24   25   26   27   28   29   30   31   32   33   34

try {          grass = TextureLoader.getTexture("PNG",                ResourceLoader.getResourceAsStream("res/grass.png"));       } catch (IOException e) {          e.printStackTrace();       }             // Clearing the screen and the depth            glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);                         grassWidth = grass.getImageWidth(); // I've also tried using grass.getTextureWidth(), and grass.getWidth()            grassHeight = grass.getImageHeight();             grass.bind();             // Drawing the background            for (int i = 0; i < Display.getWidth() / grassWidth; i++) {                for (int b = 0; b < Display.getHeight() / grassHeight; b++) {                   glPushMatrix();                   glBegin(GL_QUADS);                   GL11.glTexCoord2f(0, 0);                   GL11.glVertex2f(i * grassWidth,b * grassHeight);                   GL11.glTexCoord2f(0.99f, 0);                   GL11.glVertex2f(i * grassWidth + grassWidth, b* grassHeight);                   GL11.glTexCoord2f(0.99f, 0.99f);                   GL11.glVertex2f(i * grassWidth + grassWidth,b * grassHeight + grassHeight);                   GL11.glTexCoord2f(0, 0.99f);                   GL11.glVertex2f(i * grassWidth,b * grassHeight + grassHeight);                   glEnd();                   glPopMatrix();                }             }

This is my problem I believe:

1	grassWidth = grass.getImageWidth(); // I've also tried using grass.getTextureWidth(), and grass.getWidth()

I think I'm just getting the wrong sizes and so that is why the images are having a black border.
If you could reply back, that would be great!

Thanks,
Longarmx

See this:

Also:
- Don't bother with glPush/PopMatrix
- Don't call glBegin/glEnd inside each iteration -- instead, call glBegin once before the loop, and glEnd once after the loop to improve performance
- Be sure to call GL11.glEnable(GL11.GL_TEXTURE_2D) before texture loading to avoid running into the same problems at the thread above

Thank you! It works now a lot better than it did before, and it runs faster.

Haha... I just got over 45,000 fps.
