@kellym1able give me your email and i'll send you one, i got a few ebooks you might be interested in on java 2d/3d game design that have what you're looking for

hey-

do you know of any good java books for teaching/ referencing graphics programming/ physics design?

i'm interested in doing modelling and simulation, and I"m looking for a really thorough reference for java.

I understand the basics of object oriented programming, and can find enough online (pretty beginner, really)

but I don't have much for finding information on the class libraries, essential language components (i.e. methods)

If I have a GUI editor, would it be possible to just create 2500 panels in the editor and then editing them?? Cause I also need to assign certain values to the panels and things never work out when I create them dynamically ; - ;

@ArnisNewbie Creating inner class inside Frame class. Here's the code you must add inside the Frame class. private class Painting extends JPanel { private static final long serialVersionUID = 6888782312648977026L; public Painting() { setBackground(Color.RED); } public void paintComponent(Graphics g) { super.paintComponent(g); } }

@mu3d93 typing error.  You wrote: gui.setDefautCloseOperation(JF­­rame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); and missed l from Default so correct line is gui.setDefaultCloseOperation(J­Frame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

[mu3d93]

i cant compile, the program found an error in this line -

gui.setDefautCloseOperation(JF­rame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

File: D:\java\Frame.java [line: 14]

Error: D:\java\Frame.java:14: cannot find symbol

symbol : method setDefautCloseOperation(int)

location: class javax.swing.JFrame

How do you do this using only one *.java file?
