2d platform game

[damienrenner]

Hey, I am trying to make a 2d platform game where the user controls a character and they need to collect items off each platform (lets just say squares for now).


I have it all coded except the squares. any suggestions on how to do this?

Do you want each square to be a separate object like a JLabel
or do you want all the squares drawn on one component like a JPanel?

Are you going to start a new thread for every little question and then never return to it?
change sprite from drawing to an image - also, impliment restart button? - Timer?

i have the same question, ive tried coding something like that, except it was a jbutton, odd thing was when i removed it its face was still there, does removing jlabels and other text only stuff not do that?

@PRW56 Start a new thread for your problem and include the code that shows the problem.
