piano program proto1

[namespace]

That's exactly the question I have. mb it's something with my pc or something but it always says "This variable might not have been initialized. Might re-download it or download another one/update JDK, because I can do it at school but not on my pc for some reason. I'll also what you said in number 2, I know know what you're getting at.

Using arrays will make it easier for other people to help me with my code and while I do plan to use loops I only know now for a fact that this will 100% work with my end product. While a loop very well may work, I just don't want to run into some stupid reason why I can't make what I want to work. Sounds weird but I'd have to write a whole bunch on why. Towards the end if it all goes correctly I'll replace all of my paintComponent method with a loop and also thanks for the help, really do appreciate it

Also, if you're actually thinking of developing this further you really should take into account that Java is Object-Oriented. So you should be using objects.

Iteration is a basic principle in most languages, don't be scared of it.

Also since you know java I could use a bit of help: I made the audio file and re-edited the post. For some reason when I hit the key the sound plays but then the program freezes and crashes. Don't know whats going on you mind helping me out?

Is there a stacktrace? Might be because you issue another call of the Thread, while it is still sleeping. Since you pause it, but not the main thread, which may issue another call of the sub-thread then.
Maybe try to create a thread wich will loop over a list, play all included sounds, remove them and then sleeps for a bit.
Also maybe consider drawing on a panel as this allows you to easily reaarange your screen.

I updated the code a long time ago just never posted bc everything was going just fine. Running into more bugs now so I might start posting again

I made the code a lot shorter as well, I was being stupid earlier.
