1st Day (Almost) Over
So I’m almost at the end of the first day, and I have a nonfunctional (I couldn’t be bothered to add controls yet) sprite on the screen. My question to all of you LDers is why is there a black border around my player sprite when it is set to transparent (ie. in Gimp)?

Oh, by the way, it’s been stretched by WordPress

I solved the problem – for some reason I forgot to use the transparency for creating my Java BufferedImage

Java has problems when saving png transparency. Had a lot of headache and lost almost a day because of that some time ago. I suggest you to choose a color (0xFF00FF?) and manually change the aplha of all the pixels that are of that color to 255
