I am designing a simple GUI game for my OOP module assignment. I have an Adventure Game that is text-based. My t Interface currently looks like this: Characters Start

I am pretty new to Java Swing and I was wondering if there is a way to put a video as a background on those two menus. A small looping video will do the job, but looking through Google and StackOverflow couldn't find an answer. I am intending to do something like the World of Warcraft menu background (video on the back while your browsing through the menu).

  • Do you mean a video that shows those two images? I really dont understand what you intend to do? And honestly: if that is a homework assignment: go simple first. Make things work, do all the mandatory things. Then step by step enhance the UX for example. Beyond that: your question is not only unclear but also too broad. – GhostCat Mar 12 '19 at 18:25
  • I edited my question, thanks. –  Mar 12 '19 at 18:30

You could use the approach described in play an avi video file in java swing and integrate a VLC Player in your swing front-end.
