Java Game Programming: Basic Lighting Tutorial

[ad_1]
We are creating a very basic light source using the Graphics2D class that comes with the JDK. We will need no libraries for this tutorial. If you have any questions or errors in your project feel free to comment and let me know! I will try to answer everybodys questions.

    I'm doing a 2d game, i have a menu and a player class. When i hit the Arrow Keys, the player goes up, down, left and right, but the player image remains in the same position, without rotating.
    For example, i would like to go right, the player should rotate right.
    How can i do this using a sprite sheet?

    What version of Eclipse is this? Some of the newer ones are a bit strange.

    I've been following your Java tutorials for a couple of months and they helped me a lot. But there are some things that I didn't understand:
    Why make instances of the Handler class whenever you are creating an object rather than making the Handler class methods and variables static?
    Why even handling input you loop through a list of objects when you can have variables that change when the keys are pressed, and thus the possibility of handling player movement in the tick method the player?
    Why use swing/awt packages instead of JavaFX? I tried both, and JavaFX has higher performance due to hardware acceleration and has more features and functionality than the other two.
