Can someone point out some tutorials or code snippets or actual programmers on the website that i could find the following information for 2d games in java eclipse:

Hit boxes
Sprites
Movement with arrow keys
Game engine - physics (aka characters jumping)
2 player games
Double buffering

Ive been on this site for about 3 hours now and cant find anything and really need help.

The Java Game Programming Thread is a good starting point. Double buffering is already supported by a number of JComponents like JPanel, so you shouldn't have to worry about that.

Thank you so much. I don't know why i couldn't find that but im glad you pointed it out. When im finished creating my game is there somewhere i could post it to help other people use it as a reference and maybe explain how i did it?

If you want to write a tutorial, you are welcome to submit it to the DIC Tutorials Section. We also have the Share Your Project forum if you want to show off what you did.

Why do people always use Jframe and never applet?

[macosxnerd101]

JFrame is for stand-alone programs. Applets are for programs designed to be embedded into websites. The Applet class is really legacy at this point, and JApplet should be used instead.

this would explain why everything is such a pain in applet

[macosxnerd101]

Nothing is really a pain in an Applet. It's just a different Container, really.
