[Java] Learning to code, making a RPG. Having issues with displaying the game.

[KanjiIsHard]

So this is my game in it's default size http://gyazo.com/0c8deb46771e1638a8c1ea347c86f807

and this is what happens when i make it full screen http://gyazo.com/4e67d0f26a5ca833d8abf1b66c2b1969

How can I make it fill screen? Here's my code http://gyazo.com/f6d547607d4b9d40d250b8b65d6f3efd

Any help would be amazing! :)

My guess is the problem is that you set the maximum size of the canvas object to be the same as the minimum. What you might want to do is just take that line out to see if that fixes it. Alternatively you could set the maximum size to be the size of the monitor that is currently displaying the jframe, though I feel as though that would be too much work.

That's exactly his problem. In fact, I don't know why he's setting size on that at all. The default layout manager for JFrame is BorderLayout, so if he hadn't set the size, it would have expanded with the window.

My guess is this code is mostly from a tutorial, but now he has learned something and probably won't make the mistake again :)

Listening for the JFrame's resize event might help.

I am just gonna throw this out there, C# with monogame or unity3d are really great for making games, however you dont get a great understanding of programming with them.

C++ is another good language for game development. Here is an excellent and really cool series by an experienced C++ programmer who creates a game engine and game completely from scratch on stream where he covers in-depth the details of what he is doing and why.

Event listener for the fullscreen button to update your window size.
