So, Iam making a 2D GAME for a final project for school and in the main menu I wanted the user to input his name before playing the game but whenever I try to do a scanner the game freezes, or If I try the Jpanel the GUI is kinda infinitely popping up thus making the game unplayable. Anything I can do? BTW Iam only a beginner in java and got this code only on tutorials by RyiSnow. Thank you
I am planning to put the input name part into.
