is there liek a one line code?
rite now all i have is a blue background with
setBackground(new Color(0,160,255));
but i want to use an image
g.drawImage( ... cover the whole applet ... );

I don't want it to always redraw the image
I think it's always going to have to redraw/rerender every frame, regardless ... maybe there's some technique out there that I haven't heard about ... Volatile Images might be what something you want?
Beyond that I'm not sure, you can certainly cut corners to improve performance (reduce the amount of time your applet thread sleeps, reduce background image color depth, etc).

ya i've tried cutting out a lot of code that makes it go slower before i get to this part....
but my game runs perfectly fast and fine before adding the background image and i've tried adding a lot of other stuff and it doesnt slow it down.... but the moment i add it, there is a significant slow down.... and lowering the thread sleep time does little to help it....
so do i just add that code for Volatile Images in my Applet?
