Answer to Question #8929 in Java | JSP | JSF for Gavin

Question

I'm needing to make a game for my programming class but my start button wont show up
// TODO: Initialization things here.
}

/**
* This is where things will get drawn to the screen within your applet.
*/
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
// Draw our hello world
Font myFont = new Font("Ariel", Font.BOLD, 17);

g.setColor(new Color(236, 236, 236));
g.fillRect(2, 6, 640, 480);
g.setColor(Color.RED);
g.setFont(myFont);
g.drawString("In a world of good and evil, A hero must rise and save Bleedia", 25, 25);
g.drawImage(Logo, -9, 50, null);
g.drawImage(Start, -9, 50, null);
setSize(624, 500);
g.drawString("Build, Destroy, Kill, and Suicide!!!!", 200, 290);
g.drawString("E10", 590, 470);
}
}

The logo is working
I need the start button to work!
Thanks :D

Answer 1

Your button is not working because there’s no definition of it at all.
Examine this code, please (it shows how to create a button and set an action for it):
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ButtonDemo extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
public ButtonDemo(){
setSize(400,400);
JButton startButton = new JButton("Start");
add(startButton);
setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args){
new ButtonDemo();
}
