I made a JavaFX Discord Server for people who like to talk about JavaFX stuff, or need help with certain projects, I really like to work with java, especially with people who are working with JavaFX (:
Here is the discord link: https://discord.gg/yZ3Y3Fd or https://discord.gg/AzFaNU
How do I make a cube in javafx that have 6 different textures on each side of the cube?
The only way I know how to solve this, is by making 6 imageviews and give them each a specific coordinates that make them look like a cube.
Is there a other way to do this?
Like, I like to give the cube later on lighting, and some rotations. It will be more complex if I use this method.
Btw, I heard about Triangle Mesh, but I don't know how TextureCoords works.

How can I minify my code in here, I am giving each 23 total imageview a eventhandler.
code works, but I like to make the code shorter. I tried to use for loops to shorten the code.
here is a example what I tried to do:
for (int i = 0 ; i < imgArrayList.size() ; i++) {
imgArrayList.get(i).setOnMouseClicked(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(MouseEvent event) {
selectedTile = i;
}
});
}but it can't because, the "i" inside the handle method is final. I can't pass the "i" inside the handle method.
my goal is, that a specific imageview, that has for example ".get(3)", that needs to print out 3.
so if the imageview have a .get(i), it needs to print out the exact same number of i.
btw, the imageviews are stored in a arraylist, if you are curious where the ".get" comes from.

}I am making a ping pong game using JavaFX, but before I am going to make that, I like to test the KeyEvents.
I made a simple ping pong game about 2 years ago, but I like to improve my game.
And was pretty bad controlls back when I made the ping pong game, because of the not smooth controls.
so here is the problem:
whenever I holdpress A and switch quickly to holdpress D or D to A, same with (W to S and S to W).
it just takes a little break and then move, is there something I can change, improve?
I don't know why it does this.
So I am making a responsive audio waveform, if you don't know what that is, it is something like this: (btw this is my goal to make those audio waveforms).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVMuwa-HRCQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCD2tB1qILc
I don't know how to describe it, so just look at the videos and image.
but my question is, how do I get the values from the "AudioSpectrumListener", it has a lambda expression.
And I need the value of the magnitude. So I can print out the values.
Later I will use the values to make rectangles and that rectangles will change height shape because of the changing value from the magnitude.
I looked at some examples and tutorials, here are some:
jnlps://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/javafx/8/samples/Ensemble/Ensemble.jnlp
https://victor-fx.blogspot.com/2017/08/audio-visualization-in-javafx.html
as you can see, I used animation timer, because the "AudioSpectrumInterval" is on 60, that means it updates 60 times in a second.
I can use a for a loop too, but it will print out the same values about a couple of times, or even more than that.
So, I made a simple server-client chat program, but I have a problem:
if the server tries to message the client, the server lags or freezes a bit, same with the client.
is there something that I do wrong?

}I am making a program, and I don't know why my program becomes unresponsive, when I click the button ):
I have a feeling its because of this:
"connection = server.accept();"
I don't know how to fix it.
