My Little Project

Hello! I am making a video game with some graphics off the net to test my mettle!

So my mettle has been tested and I am trying to animate a sprite using a sprite sheet. And my problem is trying to call the subImages.

public class Paladin {


	BufferedImage AA = null; {
		try {
		    AA = ImageIO.read(new File("Censored Location"));
		} catch (IOException e) {
		}
	}
	
	final int width = 96; 
	final int height = 95; 
	final int rows = 7; 
	final int cols = 9; 
	public BufferedImage[] sprites = new BufferedImage[rows * cols]; { 

		for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) 
		{ 
		    for (int j = 0; j < cols; j++) 
		    { 
		        sprites[(i * cols) + j] = AA.getSubimage( 
		            i * width, 
		            j * height, 
		            width, 
		            height 
		        ); 
		    } 
		} 
	}
	
}

So My Question is how to I call each subImage.
Playful Banter is allowed :sneaky:
This is in java! For the small of wit.

You mean render the actual images to the screen?

If so you need to read the Swing tutorial as you'll need to create yourself a JFrame and then put a JComponent into that frame which you extend and then override the paint(Graphics g) method and you'll find that g.drawImage will do a good part of what you want. You then need to work out how to run a schedule to make it render frequently and choose the right image.

There was actually a book for Java quite a while ago http://www.brackeen.com/javagamebook/ that contained details of how to do sprite animation and such but you certainly don't need it to get started.

Already had all that set up in a separate class.
Thank you though, already fixed.
