I followed this tutorial in implementing TWL with Slick, but I've run into a query to do with overriding.

As far as I know, an override is meant to have the same return type and parameters as the method it is overriding.

But in that tutorial above, you have:

@Override
protected void createRootPane() {

But the extended class BasicTWLGameState has the method:

protected RootPane createRootPane() {

They have different return types, and therefore my NetBeans is complaining at me and saying it isn't a valid override.

In adddition, it says that 'rootPane' has private access in BasicTWLGameState, and therefore I can't access it in the context. I have to do 'getRootPane()' for it to not complain.

I'm kind of new to OOP + java sorry, so I'm probably missing out something simple.

Thank you for any help you can provide,

Thomas.

I updated the example in the wiki.
