Changing the value of static variables in another class [closed]

Question

I am trying to display a character moving across the screen but the x and y variables stay the same. I am under the impression that when I change the value of a static variable it changes in every instance of the class.

here is the class where is meant to move the character

public class MoveChara {
 private static int x, y;
 private int dx, dy;

 public void init() {
  x = 30;
  y = 50;
  dx = 1;
  dy = 1;
 }

 public void move() {
  x += dx;
  y += dy;
 }

 public int getX() {
  return x;
 }

 public int getY() {
  return y;
 }
}

here is part of the class that calls the move method

public class Game implements Runnable {
 private MoveChara move;
 private boolean running = false;

 public void run() {
  init();

  while(running) {
   tick();
   render();
  }
  stop();
 }

 private void init()  {
  move = new MoveChara;
 }

 private void tick() {
  move.move();
 }
}

and in the method that draws the character

public class Draw extends JPanel {
 public MoveChara move;
 public ImageMake imgm;

 @Override
 public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
  imgm = new ImageMake();
  super.paintComponent(g);
  Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;

  move = new MoveChara();
  move.init();
  g2d.drawImage(
   imgm.createImg("Images/SpriteSheet.png"),
   move.getX(),
   move.getY(),
   this
  );
 }
}

Answer 1

Static variables are shared across instances of the class. When edited, they change for all instances.
