its generally advisable not to use multi-threading unless you are making very complex programs and really know what you are doing. its not needed for basic-medium sized games.

How else can I make 2 tasks run at once? A timer?

Look, I don’t mean to shit all over your parade but you REALLY NEED TO STEP BACK, you hence been on this forum for like a week and almost every one if your posts is you heeding trouble with basic Java syntax!

You need to read the docs, do some more tutorials.

Tutorials Point

Yeah :-. I guess this site is my best resource for java game dev

JGO is your resource for gamedev, but not the best for basics. I recommend a book, consider Java Head First (and google/library around for other books) something more structured and thorough than random internet tutorials.

I would not recommend tutorials point if your literally brand new to the language, however if you have the basics down, it is good for reference.

I’ve been using Java for months. I don’t think I’m that new, It’s just game dev that gave me a problem

[BurntPizza]

So you had no problems with import statements, object initialization, and exceptions outside of gamedev?
These are basic, fundamental language features and are not specifically related to gamedev at all.

Just get a book, thank me later.

I believed everything on the internet, I would be one fucked up individual.

Yes you have been using java for months, but don’t even know what a List is.

When adding components to an array, you cannot add null. This alone should give you null pointer exception.

For correctness sake: it’s perfectly legal to place a null in either an array or an ArrayList.

Sorry, for some reason I thought you get an exception when trying to add null to list. I don’t really see any use of putting null into list…
