    copied!<p>I believe that the best way to do this project would be to draw the scene at regular intervals e.g. 10 milliseconds using a <code>Thread.sleep()</code>. This way, you can simply add a variable to show the message for, say, 100 loops (1 second) like this:</p> <pre><code>private LinkedList&lt;String&gt; drawStringList= new LinkedList&lt;&gt;(); private LinkedList&lt;Integer&gt; drawStringTimeout= new LinkedList&lt;&gt;(); private LinkedList&lt;Integer[]&gt; drawStringPos= new LinkedList&lt;&gt;(); public void addText(String stringToWrite, int posX, int posY, int timeOut) { drawStringList.add(stringToWrite); int[] pos = new int[2]; pos[0] = posX; pos[1] = posY; drawStringPos.add(pos); drawStringTimeout.add(timeOut); } private void mainLoop() { ...items to be drawn here... for(int i=0;i&lt;drawStringList.size();i++){ g.drawString(drawStringList.get(i),drawStringPos.get(i)[0],drawStringPos.get(i)[1]); drawStringTimeout.set(i,drawStringTimeout.get(i)-1); if(drawStringTimeout.get(i)&lt;=0) { drawStringList.remove(i); drawStringTimeout.remove(i); drawStringPos.remove(i); } } try { Thread.sleep(10); } catch (Exception e) {} } </code></pre> <p>In this code, you must add the string you want to draw to <code>drawStringList</code>, add the number of loops you want it to stay for to <code>drawStringTimeout</code> and add the position you would like to draw it in to <code>drawStringPos</code> as an array (you could use a point if you wanted to). I have made a method to do this.</p>
