    Thank you, PAL, I`m learning Java with you tutorials, along with Stanford online course and Java A Beginner's Guide Herbert Schildt! Can you recommend some free online courses, or to read something? What about real 3D games? Can you learn us to create one?

    Nice tutorial homie. If anyone's having trouble getting the bullets to load/they're traveling too fast to see, the reason's likely because our computers are too slow to keep up with the frame rate too see the bullet. I decided to help realtuts out and develop a patch:
    In the tick method in the class Bullet, set y -= -velY;
    Then create a new method in Bullet:

    public void setVelY(double velY){
    this.velY = velY; 

    }
    Next, go to the keyPressed method in the Game class. Change the else if{..} for the space bar:

    else if (key == KeyEvent.VK_SPACE){
    Bullet k = new Bullet(p.getX(), p.getY(), this);
    c.addBullet(k);
    k.setVelY(8);

    }
    Setting it to 8 might be alittle slow but that's just a preference, change it at will. Happy coding fam.

    Okay so I noticed something, and I don't know if it was stated in the comments. If you shoot two bullets out at once, since TempBullet = b.get(i); it doesn't remove the FIRST bullet you fire. TempBullet is the latest bullet fired, and so it scans only that one. The other bullets you may shoot continue to fly offscreen and do not delete themselves. I believe its because the for loop runs.. lets say you fired two bullets. It runs once for the first one, reads that the if statements are false, goes on to the next and focuses on that one instead. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    How do you memorize built in java classes?
    And how do you know what to add when?
    I understand the basic concepts of java, just kinda struggling to learn those things.
    Thanks
