    Hey. Great tutorial. Ive got a question. How does the code reach the "run" method? (is it called method?) I don't understand that part and the part about the threads.

    First of all thanks for the video. But you are teaching as we all know Java. In some parts of video, you should tell better.

    Is the reason for not needing to call the method run(), because it automaticly does that when you implement Runnable?

    @RealTutsGML The .pack(); method automatically sizes the JFrame based on the size of the components. Example: Instead of writing frame.pack();
    Write: frame.setSize(Width, Height);

    I tried to put "thread.join();" in my stop() method, but it didn't work. It said "thread cannot be resolved"

    Actually, frame.pack() sets the size to that of it's contents.

    frame.pack(); causes this Window to be sized to fit the preferred size and layouts of its subcomponents. The resulting width and height of the window are automatically enlarged if either of dimensions is less than the minimum size as specified by the previous call to the setMinimumSize method.

    If the window and/or its owner are not displayable yet, both of them are made displayable before calculating the preferred size. The Window is validated after its size is being calculated.

    Why does my run method not run? I implemented Runnable, but there is still no output.

    There is something wrong with Dimension

            Game game = new Game();

            game.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(WIDTH * SCALE, HEIGHT * SCALE));
            game.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(WIDTH * SCALE, HEIGHT * SCALE));
            game.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(WIDTH * SCALE, HEIGHT * SCALE));
