Very slow start up

Game Play & Game Design
#1

my source
https://github.com/ritonda66/shooter/blob/master/src/ch/shooter/gamePanel.java
problem:
when im clicking on the jar. nothing happends for 5-10 secs then it opens. BUT WHY???

#2

Because the images are loaded in a static initializer block before the gui is shown. You could just load them locally instead of downloading from internet :persecutioncomplex:

#3

@Waterwolf
They are not loaded in a static initializer block, those Image variables are instance variables.

@OP
Your internet speed isn’t extremely fast. It takes 5-10 seconds to download all those images :wink:

#4

Ah crap, somehow misread that they are static. They’re loaded in constructor then ::slight_smile:

#5

tyvm works now :slight_smile:

#6

What works? The only problem you had was the long startup :stuck_out_tongue:

#7

its faster now

#8

But is 5-10 seconds going to kill you?
