Good job! I can really relate to your comment. The feeling you get when you finally figure something out by yourself is truly special. Hope you'll keep enjoying coding.
@@barsapriyadarshinijena2084 Hey. There was one line of code that wasi missing in my game loop connecting everything together. It's pretty unlikely that you have exactly the same fault. I would recommend to check your code for errors (underlined in red etc.) and after that you compare your code line for line with the tutorial. It's gonna take a while but you are gonna find the problem I'm sure. Keep searching 😇
Thank you so much for actually teaching as you go. Other people just type stuff and say what they're typing, but you explain how things actually work. I can't thank you enough for that.
It turned out to be a pretty long video so I prepared time stamps for your reference: 0:00 Game loop outline 5:30 Draw an object on the screen 8:19 Get keyboard input 17:50 About the system time 21:08 Construct the first game loop (sleep) 28:04 Construct the second game loop (delta) 31:21 Display FPS I know this part 2 is an uneventful and a boring episode but this is also a very important one. A lot of people give up on 2D development because they didn't build up a decent game loop. So if you're not familiar with game loop, I'd recommend you to watch the whole (especially from 17:50) and understand its concept before moving onto the next part. Constructing a game loop is the first big hurdle in 2D game development. I also had a hard time understanding it at first.... but it is crucial because game loop is the engine of the game. Once it is created, we can put fuels (characters, tiles, objects etc.) into it and our game can run with them. I hope you get through this so we can move onto more fun stuff!

I love that you're doing all this from scratch. I know libraries exist that can do all this by default but this really helps me understand the underlying mechanics, which I believe leads to a better game
These tutorials really do help. I do have basic java knowledge, but I wanted to go into game development to hopefully improve my knowledge of the language. The explanations are really helping with that. Eclipse being in dark mode is certainly a nice addition too, especially when working watching in the dark. I'm sure by the time I get to the end of the playlist, I will be much better at java development.
Same, I’m a computer science student and finished my first year with Java. Figured this would be a good project. Definitely helps if you know how classes, data types, methods, loops, etc works
This video just helped me make something that is not useless. You explain everything so nice and easy to understand and I didn't just make a thing in Java but also I understand how it is made and I can explain every line of code by myself and you helped me feel smarter. Thank you sooo much
I really like his accent. Also, RyiSnow is the only channel on youtube teaching how to create a complex 2D game in Java. And every step is explained so briefly. Mad respect for you sir. 🙌🙌
I LOVE YOU ryi, i just started university for software engineering and i am completely green at coding. literally everything is 100% new to me, so this summer i'm working on little projects to continue improving and getting comfortable. the video is perfectly paced in my opinion because even the content I already know is getting engrained into my memory even better. I appreciate you taking your time to make this content for others
This is amazing, I'm trying to remaster this for Android & learning a lot more than I thought in the last 7 years of coding Java!!! I'll let you know how it goes once I run the final project, so far I've made a flappy rectangle oh the possibilities! Subscribed & many likes to come keep this going PLEEEASE!
Your probbebly not going to see this but anyways. You are a fantastic youtuber and a great help im knew and just got into coding so your totourials really help me a lot keep up the good work man everyone apprcates it.(also I cant spell cause I type fast so i had to fix the code like 2million times)
this is the real logic pattern and procedure if you are teaching. it is easy to understand unlike the others are very stingy to give. haysss. Thank you for this. You are the best❤❤❤
by around 16:38 in the video, if you cannot get the square to move at all no matter what key you press, make sure your main class looks like this: package main; import javax.swing.JFrame; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame window = new JFrame(); GamePanel gp = new GamePanel();
} } The order of the window variables matters, specifically the pack, relative, and visible ones. After setting these this way, I was able to simply run the app and everything worked as in the video up to the point at 16:38 If you're lazy like I was before googling for more info, just simply hit tab on your keyboard and that will focus your screen to the applet so you can use WASD
Thank you for this! I initially tried grouping the relative & visible methods with the others at the top of the class for appearance sake and could not for the life of me figure out why keyListener sometimes worked but most of the time did not. This fixed it for me! Much appreciated!
Youre awesome bro, i can finally understand the logic through the FPS concept, i always read about the "threads" but i didnt understand all the meaning, now i can realize the importance of this topic in the game development, so thanks for all
Thank you very much for your explanation RyiSnow 🙏 I feel like I understand what each method is doing now. As many have already said, the pacing is perfect especially for beginners like myself!
Thanks for the tutorial, well done! Just a side note if you're using linux or the game is a bit laggy for no reason: add System.setProperty("sun.java2d.opengl", "true"); to your main method, to force it to use OpenGL. Also, since we're not using the keyTyped() method, extending KeyAdapter instead of implementing KeyListener saves a few lines of code.
AMAZING tutorial you're the best! At first I've tried sleep method and the square didn't move. So I checked all my code but don't find any errors. I scanned my code for like 2 HOURS! But then I tried the delta method and it works. The second the square move I feel so happy and stupid at the same time. Don't be like me.
This video was really helpful to me. I love how to you took time to explain the concepts before moving on. Its really helpful knowing that there is someone who understands the basic elements of teaching.
This is one of the best java tutorials. I have done projects on my own, whether visual or not and never really implemented crazy ideas. This tutorial alone has shown me why I learned all those techniques in my java cs classes. Also any m1 max users confused on the delta fps showing up as 0, my MacBook has the same problem but it works on my windows desktop perfectly. Might be how the m1 computes or something, however it still works. (little cheat turn the drawCount =0; int drawCount = 60; i guess it displays the drawCount after converting it to 0 (i have the assignment after the out.print).
My friends, search for your life purpose, why are we here?? I advise you to watch this series and this video 👇 as a beginning to know the purpose of your existence in this life ruclips.net/p/PLPqH38Ki1fy3EB-8xmShVqpbQw99Do2B- ruclips.net/video/7d16CpWp-ok/видео.html
Somehow fixed the problem, if anyones keyboard input isn't being recognised, these are the things that worked for me: 1.Update your SDK, but at start after some time my input was't being recognized again, so 2. Close the frame window and rerun the program again, but still some times I got the error back after some time 3. try changing keyhandler variable name after repeating this process I got it to work.
I’m new to programming, but I think I understand why the delta method for calculating the time until the next game loop execution is more accurate. When we trained for relay races, we used a similar approach to track time. This way, we could estimate how much time we had left until the next lap and how much we needed to adjust or compensate for delays. If we used a method like sleep, it would be similar to rigidly waiting a fixed amount of time after each lap, regardless of how long the previous lap actually took. This would cause delays to accumulate and throw off the timing. The delta method prevents this by constantly recalculating the exact time needed for the next step. Overall everything is explained very clearly, and I think the video is suitable even for beginners. I even understood the OOP principles better, which I only recently started learning.
even though I ended up creating my own systems (jpanel instead of graphics rectangle, speed inside the object, etc.), almost all of this video was useful, I started with just a moving square, and then added keyInput later once I managed to get higher FPS's move at the same speed as lower ones. Thank you for making this tutorial.
For anyone who wants to be able to implement diagonal movement, it is very simple. The way that if else statements work is that if the first one is true, it will not check the other statements, meaning you can not be moving both upwards and sideways, because it wont check to move sideways. To do this, you need to make a separate if statement with the left and right movement, meaning you can move either up or down, and left or right. It should look like this: if(keyH.upPressed == true) { playerY = playerY - playerSpeed; } else if(keyH.downPressed == true) { playerY = playerY + playerSpeed; } if(keyH.leftPressed == true) { playerX = playerX - playerSpeed; } else if(keyH.rightPressed == true) { playerX = playerX + playerSpeed; }
also, whichever part in the if else statement comes first will take priority, meaning if you are pressing W and S, you will go up because the code checks W first.
I rewrote the entire code exactly and it worked, I don't know what the problem was with the earlier code, but if the code doesn't work, I advise you to rewrite it
Once again it brought me to the attention to the details of programming when i started again :D my rectangle didnt stop moving up, because i was not comparing the value of keyH.upPressed to the value of the boolean. "=" is different to "==" :) thanks for the reminder lol. great work go a new subscriber for sure
Just so everyone else knows, I recommend using the Thread.sleep method instead of delta time, since letting the thread sleep uses way less cpu. On my laptop it made the java program go from 8% cpu usage to less than 1%
Pro tip: put Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().sync(); at starting of the GamePanel::paintComponent function, so the buffer is being synchronized every frame (note that when using canvas, Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().sync() is being ran automatycally); If someone wonders, it fixes the "lagging" issue.
btw it's better to use Canvas that is actually made for such things instead of JPanel that should actually be top container for the game display (Canvas), not the display itself. @@laz3664
7:58 Just FYI, don't call g2.dispose() here. You aren't allocating the object, so you shouldn't be disposing it. Best case it does nothing. Worst case it could cause a strange crash later on. A good rule of thumb is that you always (and only) dispose objects you have specifically created.
Tip: if you cant get the keyhandler to work, press *tab* . now i know it sounds ridiculous but its literally what i had to do EDIT: you need the program to be open
Great tutorial. I believe using the delta approach in the run method will utilize one CPU core constantly at 100%, might not be ideal for battery powered devices.
I had some problems with the sleep method for some reason in KeyHandler it would automatically head to KeyTyped instead of KeyPressed and KeyReleased (preventing any movement). Switching to the delta method worked as expected so if you are having the same issue, try Delta.
Note: The Thread sleep method is, in fact, a bit off. About 5 out of 6 times, you will get 61 FPS. Clearly, this isn't a big problem, just wanted to put it out there.
When I played along, I opted to leave the Sleep loop in my code that we already made initially, and instead just observed you build the Delta loop. But upon testing, my FPS with the sleep loop tends to bounce between 59 and 61fps, versus yours was a steady 60fps. Both are accurate enough to be functional, but it does seem like the Delta loop is more accurate.
I believe the delta loop is FAR more accurate. After implementing the delta loop, using my 144hz monitor and setting the FPS attribute to 144 instead of 60, I noticed a MASSIVE difference between this and the sleep loop when it came to my red box's movement. Before it felt very jittery and almost looked like my monitor had ghosting issues, but after using the delta loop which had no influence on the concurrency of the program's thread, I can see my character moving as smoothly as any game I normally play on my computer.
23:50 For those who are experiencing issues with character movement that keeps moving up automatically during debugging, make sure that you simplify it to: public void update(){ if(keyH.upPressed){ playerY -= playerSpeed; }
Modern versions of Java allow underscores in numeric literals, like in Python. double drawInterval = 1_000_000_000/FPS; Also, if you use 4 regular if statements instead of "else if" in the update() method, you can move diagonally since an if-else block only allows one choice at a time.
Does someone also experience a weird problem in the movement commands? When the character moves right or left you can cancel that movement without letting the key go and immediately change the direction to top or down by pressing the respective key. But when he moves top or down you somehow cant cancel the movement but you have to let go your key to change direction. The movement would be much smoother if the direction change could happen without having to release any keys though.
FYI if anyone is having problems with their square moving up or down without any input I'd recommend to; inside of the Keyhandler method update() to change the logic to simplu if()Keyhand.pressed) without the "== true;".
Sorry, I'm having a problem move the square, the key listener isn't even responding which is weird. I've used action listeners and they haven't done this in my other codes so I am a bit worried. I'm looking for solutions in other commnets
I prefer multiplying every movement-like happening on the screen by delta (e.g: animation, player movement, enemy movement, etc.). delta = (currentTime - lastTime) / 1_000_000_000; player.x += 50 * delta // moves 50 pixels every second You can also get the FPS easily with this method. System.out.println(1/delta);
If, before any keystroke, your rectangle goes up, outside from the frame, maybe you have used "=" instead of "==" in your update() method. Just check this and it works :-P
Anyone getting stuttering in the game loop? I have tried both with thread sleep and delta time, same problem. after adding sprites with animation from the next video I can see the animation freezes up to a second sometimes. I'm running it on Linux. Does anyone have an idea why this happens and or how to fix it? edit: For some reason the stuttering stopped after i loaded the text file for tile map in video 4 :/
Imagine that the Delta variable tracks the difference between the current time and last time, and when it reaches the draw interval we know enough time has passed so we run the updates. Now imagine you divide everything by the draw interval. The maximum value of Delta is now 1 (something divided by itself is 1), and the difference between the current time and last time is also a fraction of delta. Instead of Delta eventually adding up to that difference, it just adds up to 1 instead. As far as I can tell you can also implement the Delta method without the division. I hope this was helpful!
didn't understand anything of what you did since 21:08. I will be happy if someome explains to me why do you need all of those confusing variables that don't make sense to me instead of just doing Thread.sleep(10) or something.

Overall everything is explained very clearly, and I think the video is suitable even for beginners. I even understood the OOP principles better, which I only recently started learning.
even though I ended up creating my own systems (jpanel instead of graphics rectangle, speed inside the object, etc.), almost all of this video was useful, I started with just a moving square, and then added keyInput later once I managed to get higher FPS's move at the same speed as lower ones. Thank you for making this tutorial.
Thanks man I don't know what I'd have done without this video.
I am continuing with the course. I really like the way you explain things.
Thank you for this! Very informative, well explained, and FUN!
Excellent, easy to understand explanations. Thanks!
For anyone who wants to be able to implement diagonal movement, it is very simple. The way that if else statements work is that if the first one is true, it will not check the other statements, meaning you can not be moving both upwards and sideways, because it wont check to move sideways. To do this, you need to make a separate if statement with the left and right movement, meaning you can move either up or down, and left or right. It should look like this:
if(keyH.upPressed == true) {
playerY = playerY - playerSpeed;
}
else if(keyH.downPressed == true) {
playerY = playerY + playerSpeed;
}
if(keyH.leftPressed == true) {
playerX = playerX - playerSpeed;
}
else if(keyH.rightPressed == true) {
playerX = playerX + playerSpeed;
}
also, whichever part in the if else statement comes first will take priority, meaning if you are pressing W and S, you will go up because the code checks W first.
I rewrote the entire code exactly and it worked, I don't know what the problem was with the earlier code, but if the code doesn't work, I advise you to rewrite it
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
I love this series. Great job!
your teaching method is awesome thanks for this awesome content. Learning this way is fun
I just picked up programming again and this has been helping me out a lot.
dude thank you so much for this playlist
you are a great teacher
i have started the playlist today , this is really awesome . Hopefully i stay consistent and reach the last video.
why is this tutorial so good
Really helping with such amazing explanation. Really really thanks bro. I followed another parts
I forgot to call the startGameThread() method 😆😆😆😆. That's why the rectangle didn't move. Thank you for this awesome tutorial
Once again it brought me to the attention to the details of programming when i started again :D my rectangle didnt stop moving up, because i was not comparing the value of keyH.upPressed to the value of the boolean. "=" is different to "==" :) thanks for the reminder lol. great work go a new subscriber for sure
Me:I am accomplished for creating a moving square!
Notch:Heh cute.
Epic Games:There's no build mode...
I really appreciate this series!!!! :D
Tysm!!
Thanks for you content you helped me a lot to understand the java environement!!
This is cool. I'm almost finish my Java bootcamp course. Definitely I want to learn.
tysm that Thread method is so much easier than using a Timer
Just so everyone else knows, I recommend using the Thread.sleep method instead of delta time, since letting the thread sleep uses way less cpu. On my laptop it made the java program go from 8% cpu usage to less than 1%
I'd love to see a turn based RPG tutorial, like games like EarthBound/Mother or even Final Fantasy. That would be awesome!
ありがとう！
Thanks you so much for this video!
I just finished the first video and still on it this tutorial is something
Pro tip: put Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().sync(); at starting of the GamePanel::paintComponent function, so the buffer is being synchronized every frame (note that when using canvas, Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().sync() is being ran automatycally);
If someone wonders, it fixes the "lagging" issue.
Thanks! It was really helpful
Thanks a lot, it was lagging for the first second of holding a key
btw it's better to use Canvas that is actually made for such things instead of JPanel that should actually be top container for the game display (Canvas), not the display itself. @@laz3664
Thnaks, this fixed the lag for me.
thanks a lot!
bro thank you. you can really good explain things!
excited to be doing this again
thank you so much this is life changing!!
I love you man! Thank you so much for the lessons ☺️
Ok, I rewrote everything from the beginning and now it magically decides to work.
Thank you for this, i am one step closer to program my own game
Thank you for these videos they’re really helpful
7:58 Just FYI, don't call g2.dispose() here. You aren't allocating the object, so you shouldn't be disposing it. Best case it does nothing. Worst case it could cause a strange crash later on. A good rule of thumb is that you always (and only) dispose objects you have specifically created.
Thank you really really helped me
Thank you so much, very good Tutorial!
Tip: if you cant get the keyhandler to work, press *tab* . now i know it sounds ridiculous but its literally what i had to do
EDIT: you need the program to be open
Thankx! I could not figure out why my code did not work, but the TAB did the trick (probbably it is somehow needed to really focus on the panel)
Thank you soooo much
Thanks a lot.
thank you soo much I was getting really worried
Nice video man!
Great tutorial. I believe using the delta approach in the run method will utilize one CPU core constantly at 100%, might not be ideal for battery powered devices.
I love this channel so much thank you
Literally my new hero.
Great explanation!!!😁
Thanks! 😃
Thanks! Another great video!
This helped me so much. Thank you.
thank you for making these. on to part threeeeeeee
this tutorial was done very well 👍
I had some problems with the sleep method for some reason in KeyHandler it would automatically head to KeyTyped instead of KeyPressed and KeyReleased (preventing any movement). Switching to the delta method worked as expected so if you are having the same issue, try Delta.
holy shit thank you for this ive been having the exact problem lmao
😁❤
thanks a lot!!! so nice reverb
really enjoying this, ty a lot
Holy moly, how long you've been coding? Nice job
Note: The Thread sleep method is, in fact, a bit off. About 5 out of 6 times, you will get 61 FPS. Clearly, this isn't a big problem, just wanted to put it out there.
When I played along, I opted to leave the Sleep loop in my code that we already made initially, and instead just observed you build the Delta loop. But upon testing, my FPS with the sleep loop tends to bounce between 59 and 61fps, versus yours was a steady 60fps. Both are accurate enough to be functional, but it does seem like the Delta loop is more accurate.
I believe the delta loop is FAR more accurate. After implementing the delta loop, using my 144hz monitor and setting the FPS attribute to 144 instead of 60, I noticed a MASSIVE difference between this and the sleep loop when it came to my red box's movement. Before it felt very jittery and almost looked like my monitor had ghosting issues, but after using the delta loop which had no influence on the concurrency of the program's thread, I can see my character moving as smoothly as any game I normally play on my computer.
23:50 For those who are experiencing issues with character movement that keeps moving up automatically during debugging, make sure that you simplify it to:
public void update(){
if(keyH.upPressed){
playerY -= playerSpeed;
}
Still not working dude
Great video, thanks a lot!
Modern versions of Java allow underscores in numeric literals, like in Python.
double drawInterval = 1_000_000_000/FPS;
Also, if you use 4 regular if statements instead of "else if" in the update() method, you can move diagonally since an if-else block only allows one choice at a time.
Does someone also experience a weird problem in the movement commands?
When the character moves right or left you can cancel that movement without letting the key go and immediately change the direction to top or down by pressing the respective key.
But when he moves top or down you somehow cant cancel the movement but you have to let go your key to change direction.
The movement would be much smoother if the direction change could happen without having to release any keys though.
did u fix it?
FYI if anyone is having problems with their square moving up or down without any input I'd recommend to; inside of the Keyhandler method update() to change the logic to simplu if()Keyhand.pressed) without the "== true;".
if your white box wont show, check to make sure the paintComponent method is spelled correctly (no capital p)
or else repaint() wont work
Sorry, I'm having a problem move the square, the key listener isn't even responding which is weird. I've used action listeners and they haven't done this in my other codes so I am a bit worried. I'm looking for solutions in other commnets
same problem here, any solution?
if the keys are not responding use
this.requestFocusInWindow(); at the very end of your run method
@@boywonder_YT thank you so much, it worked
@@boywonder_YT like? im having same problem, how can i code this?(where)
I prefer multiplying every movement-like happening on the screen by delta (e.g: animation, player movement, enemy movement, etc.).
delta = (currentTime - lastTime) / 1_000_000_000;
player.x += 50 * delta // moves 50 pixels every second
You can also get the FPS easily with this method.
System.out.println(1/delta);
If, before any keystroke, your rectangle goes up, outside from the frame, maybe you have used "=" instead of "==" in your update() method. Just check this and it works :-P
Thanks...you are a legend!
Anyone getting stuttering in the game loop? I have tried both with thread sleep and delta time, same problem. after adding sprites with animation from the next video I can see the animation freezes up to a second sometimes. I'm running it on Linux. Does anyone have an idea why this happens and or how to fix it?
edit: For some reason the stuttering stopped after i loaded the text file for tile map in video 4 :/
Thankfully it worked! But unfortunately the Delta method was too difficult for me 😅
Imagine that the Delta variable tracks the difference between the current time and last time, and when it reaches the draw interval we know enough time has passed so we run the updates. Now imagine you divide everything by the draw interval. The maximum value of Delta is now 1 (something divided by itself is 1), and the difference between the current time and last time is also a fraction of delta. Instead of Delta eventually adding up to that difference, it just adds up to 1 instead. As far as I can tell you can also implement the Delta method without the division. I hope this was helpful!
@@sparklecharmerthank you very much for your input!
I can understand☹️ how hard english is for japanese!! I appreciate that😭 ❤
top quality channel🦾
didn't understand anything of what you did since 21:08. I will be happy if someome explains to me why do you need all of those confusing variables that don't make sense to me instead of just doing Thread.sleep(10) or something.
now i am in a good mood
Thread.sleep() in a loop can cause busy-waiting, so wait/notify mechanisms should be used instead
