Hi all, today i will explain some fundumentals about game programming lets start:

There are three types of graphical games in java:

Applet games: Java applet games are applications that run in a web browser. The user does not have to install anything.But players have to be online and running a web browser to play.Also, an applet can make a network connection only to the server that it came from.
Windows Games: They look and behave like a normal application, with a title bar, a close button, and so on. However, these user interface elements can be distracting to the player, especially when you want players to become immersed in your game.
Full Screen Games: Full-screen Java games give you total control over the visual presentation on your game, with no desktop user interface elements such as title bars, task bars, or docks. The player can become completely immersed in your game.
