Better than thread.sleep

OMG its so increditbly SLOW!!

look at this code:

[

import java.awt.event.*;

import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.*;

import java.awt.image.BufferStrategy;

public class TitleScreen extends JFrame implements Runnable, KeyListener {

Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();

MediaTracker mt = new MediaTracker(this);

Dimension d = tk.getScreenSize();

BufferStrategy strategy;

Image Title = tk.getImage("images/TitleScreen/Title.png");

Image Title2 = tk.getImage("images/TitleScreen/Title2.png");

Image chris = tk.getImage("images/chris/battle.png");

Image backbuff, backbuff2;

Thread t = new Thread(this);

boolean running;

int X = getX(1280), Y = getY(600), tX = -500, tY;

public TitleScreen(){

setTitle("Title");

setSize(d.width, d.height);

setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

setVisible(true);

addKeyListener(this);

strategy = getBufferStrategy();

createBufferStrategy(2);

mt.addImage(chris, 0);

mt.addImage(Title, 0);

mt.addImage(Title2, 0);

try{

mt.waitForAll();

}catch(InterruptedException e){}

start();

}

public void draw(){

running = true;

backbuff = createImage(d.width, d.height);

Graphics g = strategy.getDrawGraphics();

Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)backbuff.getGraphics();

g2.setColor(Color.black);

g2.fillRect(0, 0, d.width, d.height);

g2.drawImage(Title, tX, 0, d.width, d.height, this);

g2.drawImage(chris, X, Y, getX(chris.getWidth(this)), getY(chris.getHeight(this)), this );

g.drawImage(backbuff, 0, 0, this);

g.dispose();

strategy.show();

}

public void run(){}

public void start() {

while(true){

X -= 1;// even when i change this to a higher number it is slow

tX += 1;

draw();

}

}

int getX(int X){

return X * d.width / 1280;}

int getY(int Y){

return Y * d.height / 1024;}

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e){

if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER){

Title = Title2;}

if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT){

X += 1;}

}

public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e){}

public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e){}

public static void main(String args[]){

new TitleScreen();}

}

\]

(did i do that [ \] thingy right?)

Now this doesnt even have the sleep pause, its just plain while loop

and it doesnt skip buts its slow, VERY even i put its on X += 50 and its slow. Im clueless on how to fix this problem

GUI toolkits = teh slow

lookee:

Image buf;

Graphics g;

void run() {

while(true) {

doInputAndLogic();

repaint();

Thread.sleep(1000/FPS);

}

}

void update(Graphics gtop) {

paint(gtop); // overwrite update - the default is slow

}

void paint(Graphics gtop) {

if(buf == null) {

buf = createImage(width, height);

g = buf.getGraphics();

}

// graphics stuff here, use g.drawThing(), not gtop.drawThing()

// g is buffered, gtop is top level

gtop.drawImage(buf, 0, 0, this);

}

Wait!, I got it!! this way i dont even need a thread YAY! look:

import java.awt.event.*;

import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.*;

import java.awt.image.*;

public class TitleScreen extends JFrame implements KeyListener {

Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();

MediaTracker mt = new MediaTracker(this);

Dimension d = tk.getScreenSize();

Image backbuff;

Graphics g, g2;

int X[] = new int[]{0, 550, 1500, 1700, 1900};

int Y[] = new int[] {0, -300, 0, 0, 0};

Image sonic_left = tk.getImage("images/sonic_left.png");

Image sonic_right = tk.getImage("images/sonic_right.png");

Image fox_left = tk.getImage("images/fox_left.png");

Image fox_right = tk.getImage("images/fox_right.png");

Image mario_left = tk.getImage("images/mario_left.png");

Image mario_right = tk.getImage("images/mario_right.png");

Image toad_left = tk.getImage("images/toad_left.png");

Image toad_right = tk.getImage("images/toad_right.png");

Image Title = tk.getImage("images/TitleScreen/Title.png");

public TitleScreen(){

setTitle("Title");

setSize(d.width, d.height);

setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

setVisible(true);

addKeyListener(this);

mt.addImage(sonic_left, 0);

mt.addImage(sonic_right, 0);

mt.addImage(fox_left, 0);

mt.addImage(fox_right, 0);

mt.addImage(mario_left, 0);

mt.addImage(mario_right, 0);

mt.addImage(toad_left, 0);

mt.addImage(toad_right, 0);

mt.addImage(Title, 0);

try{

mt.waitForAll();

}catch(InterruptedException e){}

animation();

}

//// LOOK NO THREAD!!!!!!

public void animation(){

while(true){

X[2] -= 10; // the animation goes by the frame rate of how ever fast the computer is, (correct me if im wrong please :))

draw();}

}

// And no worry about update, my own method

public void draw(){

if(backbuff == null){

backbuff = createImage(d.width, d.height);

g = backbuff.getGraphics();

g2 = getGraphics();}

g.setColor(Color.black);

g.fillRect(0, 0, d.width, d.height);

g.drawImage(mario_left, X[2], 795, this);

g2.drawImage(backbuff, 0, 0, this);

}

int getX(int X){

return X * d.width / 1280;}

int getY(int Y){

return Y * d.height / 1024;}

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e){}

public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e){}

public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e){}

public static void main(String args[]){

new TitleScreen();}

}

WOW thanks guys i really aprceate it!
