In my jump n run game I use a very small field at the moment in which the player can move. When I increase the width to 2000 px, I notice, that everything gets screwed up. My question is, what is the right approach of having a large background image move whenever the player is moving.

Hi,
I'm not sure if this applies to your case but I read about a group of bugs with java 2D when the numbers being used are very large, but I think the numbers giving the problems were really really large. It was because of number overflow errors or something. Have a look at the bug database. If this is the cause, maybe use -1000 and +1000 instead of 2000?
Good luck,
Keith
I am now using volatileimage, which made the painting much faster.
When I run the applet in Internet Explorer the background image is not displayed correctly. I have no clue, why this is and how to fix it. The background loads correctly, any repaint however, results in the background screwed up.
And I still do not always get a smooth motion. Please anybody tell me wether the current version runs smoothly on their machine.
