    But you are creating new fonts every tick in the render method, maybe the fonts should be created in the constructor?

    When I put the rectangle thingy on the menu, error occurs. It says "Cannot find symbol. What am I missing?

    so quick question, should i not worry about the menu first, and then start the coding on my game? I figured, since the menu would be the first thing a player would see, that should be the first thing i create? Also, it SEEMS pretty easy to create a simple menu.

    Why does it need to be graphics 2d? Why can't it just be graphics?

    My contentpane says I need to surround it with a try catch and it becomes a blank screen. Is there any way to fix this?

    Why do you add 120 to the width variable?
    new Rectangle(Game.WIDTH / 2 + 120, 150, 100, 50);
    what does adding 120 do to it?

    Why does my text not appear in the centre? I haven't been following this tutorial series but a different one but wanted to implement a menu into my game.
    What is the WIDTH variable set to?

    I find it easier to make the ENUM its own class, more organisation and cleaner code 🙂

    PS.

    To make the ENUM its own class: instead of choosing New>Class, choose New>Enum
