Java, how to draw constantly changing graphics

Question

Have not done this before, so obviously I suck at it. Here 64 pixels around current mouse position get drawn little bigger on a form. Problem is, that it\'s \'kind of\' to s

Answer 1

Add this method to the Paint method:

public void clear(Graphics g, Color currentColor) {
    g.setColor(backgroundColor);
    g.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);
    g.setColor(currentColor);
    int delay = 5; //milliseconds

    ActionListener taskPerformer = new ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) { } };

    new Timer(delay, taskPerformer).start();
} //run this right before you draw something

Okay so use timer to slow down delay, not a threading, that's bad.
