    Default 2D Game Programming

    So I usually used like a basic engine (What I see from tutorials) and will just reuse it to make a game. I wanna know how to make 2D Java Games now on my own. I know how to build the window example
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
    frame.setResizable(false);
    frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    and so on
    I wanna know how to make it show graphics on to that window.
    I have heard of buffer strategy, but know how to use it.
    Right now I will be just working on a simple gui for what I wanna put in my game (yeah I know how to split a picture up).
    If you could give me something I could read which doesn't use very much code I would be glad and please all videos are welcome.

    Can anyone give me some tutorials on example games and other ways to create a window. Cause I saw another tutorial basically making a complicated way of making a window.

    I believe the OP is still trying to wrap his head around the basics. I wouldn't suggest he dive into the world of gaming libraries just yet.
