Alright, so I was recreating the issue in a sample class, and I realized something.
So, basically, in my game, I have collision. Since i'm new to programming, my players are rectangles and I'm using the 'intersects' method to detect collision. To do that, in my player initialization, I create a new rectangle with correlating coordinates to the one in the parameters. If I DON'T do that, I can render more than 1 player with no problem. BUT, I can't have a collision system like that which is kind of important. Plus, I've seen tutorials where people do the EXACT same thing with the rectangles yet they don't have any problems.
This is kind of what the initialization looks like (not creating the instance of the player, but how it's rendered):
NOTE: This is an example and not from my actual game, but it's accurate (no formatting either).
This is the initialization in the player class:
public Player(int x, int y, int width, int height, Color playerColor) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.width = width;
this.height = height;
this.whatevercoloriscalled = playerColor;
player = new Rectangle(x, y, width, height);
}
This is my draw method in the player class:
public void draw(Graphics g) {
g.setColor(whatevercoloriscalled);
g.fillRect(player.x, player.y, player.width, player.height);
}
This is how I create an instance of the player in my Main class:
Player player1 = new Player(---, ---, ---, ---, ---);
Player player2 = new Player(---, ---, ---, ---, ---);
public void draw(Graphics g) {
player1.draw(g);
player2.draw(g);
....
}
If I DON'T create a new rectangle in the player initialization in the Player class, it works just fine. But in the above example, it doesn't render more than 1.
I apologize for the inevitable facepalming many will do because of this, but I can't figure it out yet XD
