Hi,

I am just learn how to code java and I wanted to do a simple chess game. For each piece I have a gif file.

When I initailly show the frame I wish to display the pieces not all the pieces get displayed ... I think this is happening because my imageUpdate () routine is only working on the first image...

please look at my applet

follow the links until you get to the chess game.
thanks Russ Cecala

As a preliminary observation, your program has erratic behavior. Most of the time I doesn't display properly, but one time I ran it and it seemed to display and work fine. I even played with it for a bit -- moved and captured some pawns -- but that was the only time it worked. I'm looking through some of the code, I'll let you know if I find anything.

I based the handling of the images on the examples in Core Java ( the old one JDK 1.0).

I tried the techique discussed in Core Java 2 ( using a MediaTracker ) that does not appear to work for applets.

I am going to post the source to the Chess game ( it is broad.java ) Just follow the source link on the Launch Pad page on my URL home.earthlink.net/~rbcecala

Thanks for trying out the game.
