    Default rotating

    Hello,

    im in the thick of trying to make a game with a rotating ship i got along way with it but got stuck just on rotation now im just trying to figure out how to get a shape to rotate in java.
    so i simplified all the code and back to basics but now im stuck it i just want the square to start spinning on the screen and i though i would use a for loop but it just stares at me stationary cursing my stupidity

    please help

    package rotate;
     
    import java.awt.Canvas;
    import java.awt.Color;
    import java.awt.Graphics;

    Default Re: rotating

    The code has an incorrect call to the Window class's constructor:
    		new Window(WIDTH, HEIGHT, "rotate", this);         //<<<<< no suitable constructor
    Also there was no import statement for the Window class.

    Where did you copy this code from? Can you post a link to the site?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Im using a tutorial on youtube by a guy called gametut

    import java.awt.Canvas;
    import java.awt.Dimension;
     
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
     
    public class Window extends Canvas{
     
    	/**
    	 * 
    	 */
    	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     
    	public Window(int width, int height, String title, Main main) {
    		JFrame frame = new JFrame(title);
     
    		frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension (width, height));
    		frame.setMaximumSize(new Dimension (width, height));
    		frame.setMinimumSize(new Dimension (width, height));
     
    		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    		frame.setResizable(false);
    		frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    		frame.add(main);
    		frame.setVisible(true);
    		main.start();
     
    	}

    Default Re: rotating

    What do you see when you execute the program?
    Why are there two loops that iterate 360 times?
    The iteration of a loop will be much faster than the eye can see.

    Note: Window is the name of a java SE class in the java.awt package. That is a poor choice for your class's name.
