TCreate.displayInfomation()

ScreenPanel

Extends JPanel and holds all the code for the gameLoop and drawing and updating all elements in the scene.

ScreenObject

This is a class which you extend to have an x, y variable and a few function: update(), draw(Graphics2D graphics), getWorldX() and getWorldY(). By using the code, ScreenObject.setUp(), you can pass in a screenObject, x, y position into the brackets. There is also aDouble scale variable which you can update and then use with some functions which gives you the scaled variable. A BufferedImage image variable is also created with a function imageRender(Graphics2D g) to use images.

Inside the brackets, put the title of the game and then add two whole numbers for the size. This will create a JFrame with the title and size you picked for it.
