Topic awaiting preservation: Java Applets n00bie (Page 1 of 1)

I'd like to try my hand at making an applet for the first time in my life. More specifically, I'd like to blur an image dynamically. This is asomething that neither flash nor shockwave can do, and it's my most desired effect..

Thanks in advance.

If you're new to the whole Java thing this tutorial is a nice place to get started. It is a game programming tutorial, but it covers the basics that you need to create most applets/programs...

If you allready know some Java, this article over at CFXweb is a nice place get started with pixel manipulation of images. It covers how to do the basic stuff that you need to know.

When you know that you can start creating the blur effect. The theory behind that effect is mainly that you calculate the new color value of a pixel as the 'average of the surounding pixels'...

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

Very nice. I expect it will take me a while to pick up speed on a brand new language. Thanks to both of you.
