    @Override
    public void update() {
        x += speed;
        y += speed;

If you don’t have update/repaint delta timers then you should add that

If you don’t it updates way to quickly

And you won’t even see it

Here is the one I use

Then you just have a long lastTick somewhere in the class

Drawing stuff is mostly done on a separate thread. Something tells me that updating from another thread without doing research isnt ok. I do not know much about swing though.
