Best way to create a speech bubble effect?
843805Nov 20 2005 — edited Nov 20 2005Hi there,
I'm currently writing a simple game using java 2D, on screen i would like to show some text surrounded by a speech bubble which will be used to show what a character is saying. I need the text to be scrollable as there might be alot of it and dont want to clog up the screen.
Initially i wanted to create this directly on the JPanel im using but could not figure out how to add a scrollable text area directly onto a JPanel (if its even possible!).
So i thought just use a pop up text box that would already be scrollable, but how can i get a pop up to have the appearence of a speech bubble?
Any help or hints would be appreciated.
Many thanks
