java-2d

I'm trying to create the beginning of a simple game. The first thing I am trying to do is import a graphic into my code and move it across the screen. I was able to draw a ball on the screen and move it around but when I import a graphic from a file I am unable to move it around. What am I missing or doing wrong? import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.Graphics; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.ImageIcon; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; import java.awt.event.KeyListener; import javax.swing.JPanel;

I'm using g.drawString(str, x, y) to draw a String with a Graphics2D object g . The current font of g does not cover all the characters of str (I have e.g. Chinese chars in there). On Mac OS X, a fallback font seems to be automatically used, but not on Windows, where black square outlines appear instead of the wanted characters. Why is the behavior different depending on the platform? How do I specify a fallback font (or several fallback fonts) in case of missing characters? (For instance, one of the nice fonts there .) Update/More Info So, the original font that doesn't support all characters

I need to draw a line using java.awt.Graphics, but only the portion of the line that lies outside of a rectangle should be rendered. Is it possible to use the Graphics clipping support or do I need to calculate the intersection and clip the line myself? You need to use the Area class. This example will demonstrate how to do what you ask: import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Dimension; import java.awt.Graphics; import java.awt.Graphics2D; import java.awt.geom.Area; import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; public

i am planning to make racing game in android.I have created many applications in different mobile technology. but i am pretty much beginner for game application. So my question is how can i make race track in android? How should i show that car is moving on that race track. I have the images of cars and race track. But i have no idea how should i show the part of race track and how should show that car is moving on that track?? I suggest you download AndEngine ( an open source 2d android game develoopmnent framework ). In the examples there is a (very simple) race track demo with a movable car

I am generating some images using the Graphics2D interface, and occasionally I'd like to be able to draw some text on the image and apply to it effects like the ones in Adobe Photoshop. Right now to generate a 'shadow' on the text I am drawing the text twice, once in the original color, and once in black with a slight (1px) x&y offset. Unfortunately this is overly simplistic as I need more control over the shadow (opacity,size, spread). As for Inner Glows and Outer Glows, I am not really sure where to start; a mask/gradient paint/alpha blending? Is there a Java library for producing these
