Sorry, I ask for so much help... 
Ok, so I'm doing my first graphics! I've progressed so far =')
So, I'm trying to start early with dirty rectangles, which you can read about by Googling it. I picked up this skill from Python
However, I'm clueless on how to implement this in Java. My current code for an instance of a class that is a rectangle that can move around is:
Problem is, when I only render the background the first paint(), the next time I repaint it it makes the background grey and a box the color of the background, where the old box used to be. It also has a new box in the new location. So basically, it works, if I only rendered the changing parts. It's not rendering the background a second time, but it's updating the whole Canvas, so it leaves the background gone when I repaint().
Can anyone show me how to implement dirty rectangles in Java? It will be a great help. Thanks
I use a Canvas as my drawing area. Can someone show me how? Thanks.
