Re: [Java] Drawing on the Screen

Because this is a very operating system-specific task (I assume it's for
Windows; you didn't say), Java is very ill-suited for this. Java's
initial slogan was "write once, run anywhere"; i.e., inherent
portability. This is the opposite of portable.

C or even Assembly is much better suited for this. You need a language
that will allow you access to memory via addresses; C++ will do this,
but I wouldn't recommend it. In Java, there's no concept of pointers,
and the user has no control over memory.
