Making Tilesprites with jframe
Hello,
We're making a homework assignment using jframe. Just a simple point and click adventure and the assignment itself is finished. Just want to add some Sexappeal by making the a map using Tilesprites.
My question is if you have any tips on how I should approach this. Can I do this with jframe itself or do I need something like openCV or other things?
Thanks in advance for any clues

/preferences.Use a JPanel for your map
Create a custom JPanel subclass where you override paintComponent(Graphics g). This is where you’ll draw your tiles.
Tile Sprites as Images
Load your tile sprites as small images (BufferedImage or ImageIcon). Each tile represents one “block” or “cell” of your map.
Map Data Structure
Represent your map as a 2D array (e.g., int[][]) where each number corresponds to a specific tile type/image.
Drawing the Map
In your overridden paintComponent method, loop through the 2D array, and draw the corresponding tile image at the right position. For example:
Handling clicks
Add mouse listeners to your JPanel to detect clicks. Use the click coordinates to figure out which tile was clicked by dividing the click position by tile size.
Keep it simple
Since this is a homework assignment, try to keep your map small and simple — for example, 10x10 tiles, each 32x32 pixels.
hope thus helps
