Hi:
For the longest time, I have been using the IDE "JCreator". I made previous games on it in the past for school, and when it would come to me implementing a background image in my game, I would make a background class, and have the image in my project's class folder.
With the following code on JCreator, I get exactly what I had wanted, a Background Image to be displayed when I run the applet:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
class background
{
private Image img;
public int xpos, ypos, height, width, speed, xdir, ydir;
private Ellipse2D.Double c;
public background(Image p5, int x, int y, int w, int h, int s, int xd)
{
img = p5;
xpos = x;
ypos = y;
width = w;
height = h;
speed = s;
xdir = xd;
ydir = 0;
c = new Ellipse2D.Double (xpos, ypos, width, height);
}
public Image getImage(){return img;}
public int getX() { return xpos;}
public int getY() { return ypos ;}
public int getHeight() { return height; }
public int getWidth() { return width ;}
public int getXDir() { return xdir ;}
public int getYDir() { return ydir ;}
public void setDir(int x, int y)
{
xdir = x;
ydir = y;
}
public boolean intersects(int x, int y, int w, int h)
{
return c.intersects(x, y, w, h);
}
public void displaybackground(Graphics2D g , Applet a)
{
g.drawImage(img, xpos, ypos, width, height , a);
}
public void paint(Graphics2D g)
{
g.fill(c);
}
}
public class iamcool extends Applet implements KeyListener {
BufferedImage imageBuffer;
Graphics2D graphicsBuffer;
private background b;
Image p5;
public void init()
{
imageBuffer = (BufferedImage)createImage(getWidth(), getHeight());
graphicsBuffer = (Graphics2D) imageBuffer.getGraphics();
p5= getImage(getCodeBase(), "sunset.jpg");
b=new background(p5, 0, 0, 1680, 1050, 5, 0);
}
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
{}
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e)
{}
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {}
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
b.paint(graphicsBuffer);
b.displaybackground(graphicsBuffer, this);
g2.drawImage(imageBuffer, 0,0, getWidth(), getHeight(), this);
}
}I'm very very new to java, so i'm sorry if this is actually a really simple problem to solve. But I'm confused with how eclipse works in adding images to a project. Could someone walk me through how I can have an applet open up in Eclipse with a image-based background? The Above code may have worked at one time once for JCreator but it's different for Eclipse. All I want is to have a background image while will be used as the background of a game.
Thanks a ton
