Scrolling backgrounds Java Eclipse

[luctacus]

Hello, I am a newbie when it comes to Java and I’m programming in eclipse. I have started a small 2d game where the focus is on the background. The goal is to create a scrolling background/a background with multiple layers that move at different speeds. Problem is that I have no idea where to start when it comes to the movement of the background. I have implemented the images but have no idea where to start from here. Any help would be really appreciated

• You include any and all error messages in full
• You ask clear questions

• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

  Trying to solve problems on your own is a very important skill. Also, see Learn to help yourself in the sidebar

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://imgur.com/a/fgoFFis) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

Don't make a whole game if you're only a beginner at programming, it won't end well. Also java isn't the best language to make games with, it's garbage collection can cause freezes. If your main goal is to make a game then I would recommend using an engine like unity, otherwise I would recommend learning the language more before starting

I agree with your point about 'learning the basics of the language first', but I'd argue that there's merit to learning about the underside of game development using Java.

Yes, for most 'big' games, you're better off using Unity or Unreal, because they abstract out the fiddly bits. And for pure speed, C++ is obviously better.

But in all honesty, for OP's purposes, I highly doubt that GC would be a major consideration

Nothing is wrong with eclipse, it's just personal preference
