Developing a Multiplayer Maze Game in Java - Part 1

In this part we will learn how to make a full screen window in Java. Playing game in a full screen window is always a different experience and Java provide a very clean way of doing so. The code below is pretty easy to understand. FullFrame class can be used as a base window for any java game you want to build.

----------------------------------------------

Code for part one

----------------------------------------------
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

class FullFrame extends JFrame{

  private GraphicsDevice gd;
  
public FullFrame()
  {
  }


  public void initFullScreen()
  {
  GraphicsEnvironment ge =
    GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment( );
  gd = ge.getDefaultScreenDevice( );
   
setUndecorated(true);  
setIgnoreRepaint(true);
setResizable(false);
  if (!gd.isFullScreenSupported( )) 
    {
   Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit( );
    Dimension scrDim = tk.getScreenSize( );
setVisible(true);
     setSize(scrDim);  
  }
  gd.setFullScreenWindow(this);
  }
}
