Double Buffering

[evogre3n]

Hey all,

I just want to make a simple example of double buffering using Console class (required by my teacher *sigh*) by making a box and moving it across the screen.

I can achieve this using thread.sleep and a for loop to move a c.fillRect(x,y,100,100); method...

Ive been reading up on double buffering, but its all so complicated and always integrated into some fancy applet games.. I just want to double buffer this box so it doesnt flicker, and so I get an easy intro to double buffering.

Can you guys show me an example of how to make a simple double buffer to move a box across the screen?

Thanks

Or, perhaps, there is another way to make flicker free animation? One that is easier?
