    <p>What pst says about the pros and cons of the two approaches is absolutely correct.</p> <p>However, I wouldn't recommend either. I would use a "designed for games" game engine such as <a href="http://slick.cokeandcode.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Slick2D</a>, and it will help you immensely with the update and logic in a game, the structure of the main game loop, as well at take care of a lot of the low-level issues you'll run into.</p> <p>If you're considering using Swing for games, I would also stay far away from that, for the reasons outlined <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7781040/java-graphics-stages-of-a-game/7781130#7781130">in my answer here</a>.</p> <p><a href="http://slick.cokeandcode.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Slick2D</a> comes pre-built to handle the timing issues, and figuring out the deltas between rendering frames, etc. You also get a lot of nice stuff that you don't have to build on your own, such as input handling (keyboard, mouse, controllers), accelerated graphics (your games will automatically benefit from graphics acceleration because the engine takes care of this for you), and when you get ready for audio it also has a great audio library.</p> <p>Writing all this stuff yourself is going to make you want to cry. Unless you're really into building the engine itself (as opposed to wanting to spend your time building the game logic itself), building engines is a lot of time spent when you could just use a mature tool off-the-shelf.</p>

    2. CO:) It definitely can be. I've just learned that I prefer to spend my time on the game, and not the tool. It's definitely a personal preference. Some people love building tools. Just not my thing.

    3. COThanks for the reply, I would rather prefer to write everything myself as it gives me a sense of accomplishment. I am currently using swing for my game, would you recommend AWT?

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.
