    Default Pong Overflow Error

    I can't figure out this problem that I'm having in my Pong game. It's compiling fine, except when I run it, it gives me an overflow error.

    Here's my code: PONG IN JAVA (CLASS/HOME) - Pastebin.com

    I learned a bit in my school (about Graphics) that's helped me and over the internet but other then that, I'm doing this by myself.

    Here's the code:
    // Pong
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import java.awt.Color;
    import java.awt.Graphics;
     
    public class Pong extends JFrame
    {
            private static final int WIDTH = 400;
            private static final int HEIGHT = 400;
     
            Ball b = new Ball();
            Paddle p1 = new Paddle();
            Paddle p2 = new Paddle();
     
            protected int x;
            protected int y;
     
     
            public Pong()
            {
                    b.setSize(30, 30);
                    b.setColor(Color.BLUE);
                    b.setX(20);
                    b.setY(20);
     
                    p1.setSize(40, 40);
                    p1.setColor(Color.RED);
                    p1.setX(50);
                    p1.setY(50);
     
                    p2.setSize(40, 40);
                    p2.setColor(Color.RED);
                    p2.setX(100);
                    p2.setY(100);
     
                    add(b);
                    add(p1);
                    add(p2);

    The error keeps going for a lot of more lines.

    The line that gets highlighted is the first bracket of the Pong constructor.

    Default Re: Pong Overflow Error

    Does the compiler mention which line actually causes the overflow?

    Overflow can have a variety of meanings - from placing to much on a stack frame
    to over-writing memory boundaries within an array.

    Welcome to the Forum! Please read this topic to learn how to post code correctly and other useful tips for newcomers.

    Please post your code correctly per the above rather than a link to it. Post as little code as possible to see the relevant parts. If necessary, post a short, runnable example that demonstrates the problem. Most here won't follow links to code. Also, post the exact error message and stack trace, the whole thing, copied from exactly as it appears at your end.
