    Default GAME VIEW - flashing

    Hi guys, i have a little problem. I program a game like Sokoban. When I make a move with a "man" display flashes. I know that I must use doubleBuffer but i dont know hot to make it in my code. Please can you help me ?

        public void initWorld() {
            int x = OFFSET;
            int y = OFFSET;
            Wall wall;
            Place place;
            Box box;
     
     
            for (int i = 0; i < level.length(); i++) {
                char item = level.charAt(i);
     
                if (item == '\n') {
                    y += SPACE;
                    x = OFFSET;
     
                } else if (item == '#') {
                    wall = new Wall(x, y);
                    walls.add(wall);
                    x += SPACE;
                } else if (item == '@') {
                    soko = new Player(x, y);
                    x += SPACE;
                } else if (item == 'o') {
                    box = new Box(x, y);
                    boxes.add(box);
                    x += SPACE;
                } else if (item == '.') {
                    place = new Place(x, y);
                    areas.add(place);
                    x += SPACE;
                } else if (item == ' ') {
                    x += SPACE;
                }
                h = y;
            }
     
        }
     
        public void buildWorld(Graphics g) {
            g.setColor(new Color(250, 240, 170));
             g.fillRect(0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight());
            ArrayList world = new ArrayList();
            world.addAll(walls);
            world.addAll(areas);
            world.addAll(boxes);
            world.add(soko);
     
            for (int i = 0; i < world.size(); i++) {
     
                Actor item = (Actor) world.get(i);
                g.drawImage(item.getImage(), item.x(), item.y(), this);
     
            }
        }
     
        @Override
        public void paint(Graphics g) {
            super.paint(g); 
            buildWorld(g);

    Well first off fix your sentence... I cannot understand the grammar.. Or it might just be because English is not my main language.
    Secondly, post the things you have tried to do in your code to fix the problem.

    A comment: The arraylist should NOT be defined and filled in code running inside the call to paint() method.

    Move the arraylist to where it is defined one time and filled as needed. Don't do it every time paint() is called.
