    <p>For my university assignment I have to make a networkable version of pacman. I thought I would best approach this problem with making a local copy of pacman first and then extend this functionality for network play. </p> <p>I would have to say that I am relatively new to java GUI development and utilizing such features within java.</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.planetalia.com/cursos/Java-Invaders/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.planetalia.com/cursos/Java-Invaders/</a></li> <li><a href="http://javaboutique.internet.com/PacMan/source.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://javaboutique.internet.com/PacMan/source.html</a></li> </ul> <p>I have started following the above links with regards to game development within java and an example of the pacman game.</p> <p>I decided to represent the maze as an int array with different values meaning different things. However when the paint method inside the main game loop is run i am redrawing the whole maze with this method.</p> <pre><code> for (int i : theGame.getMaze()) { if (i == 4) { g.setColor(mazeWallColour); g.fillRect(curX, curY, cellSize, cellSize); curX += 25; } else { curX += cellSize; } index++; // Move to new row if (index == 25) { index = 0; curX = 10; curY += cellSize; } } </code></pre> <p>However this is providing me with less then 1fps. Although i've noticed the example linked above uses a similar way of redrawing each time the paint method is called and i believe does this on a image that is not viewable (kinda like double buffering [I've used a BufferStrategy like the first link explains]) What would be a better way to redraw the maze? </p> <p>Any pointers/advice with this would be useful. </p> <p>Thank you for your time.</p> <p><a href="http://pastebin.com/m25052d5a" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://pastebin.com/m25052d5a</a> - for the main game class.</p> <p>Edit: I have just noticed something very weird happening after trying to see what code was taking so long to execute.</p> <p>In the paintClear(Graphics g) method i have added </p> <pre><code>ocean = sprites.getSprite("oceano.gif"); g.setPaint(new TexturePaint(ocean, new Rectangle(0,t,ocean.getWidth(),ocean.getHeight()))); g.fillRect(10, 10,getWidth() - 20,getHeight() - 110); </code></pre> <p>which made the whole thing run smoothly - however when i removed these lines the whole thing slowed down? What could have caused this?</p> <p><a href="http://pastebin.com/m15d0d70" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Updated code</a></p>

    1. COMalachi, post your entire code for the game. I'd rather be able to *run* something. Zip it and put it on filedropper

    2. COAs mentioned by Simucal, it's difficult to debug your program without access to the entirety of the source. With the code above no problems are immediately apparent, and the first place I'd recommend looking is in your implementation of the getSprite method.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
