double buffering =|

[TheHobbit]

hey guys, back again with that dumb game of mine !

game's going pretty swell so far - except for the dumb flickering, im sure you all know what i'm talkin about.

repaint makes that little flicker that kinda kills the game.

i know to use the double buffering method with all the dbg and copying to variable to paste it back on the screen stuff, and i already used it. the problem lies here, that my game has mouse events , and invoking the double buffer disables all my mouse functions, which kinda kills the point of the game !


i know tihs might be too wide a problem , but is there a way around it ?

thanks in advance


p.s i've looked on the site for double buffers and stuff, but haven't found much ( the fact that searching "double buffering" returns about 1033 results doesnt help ! )
so if you know a post with a problem like mine, LINK ME ! thanks !

How is the double buffering preventing your mouse functions from working? Your drawing methods and input methods should be kept separate, so one shouldn't be affecting the other.

lmao, thats exactly what im wondering, coz it makes no sense. all my game logic is in the run method ( my teacher said run method or its lack thereof, might have to do with it ) , but it still doesn't work !

i'll post the code up here later on - d/w you dont have to read through it all ( its not that long right nowanywyas ) - just see if any of you guys can isolate the problem !
