I'm creating a game called Mouse Trap and I'm having an issue with a graphic drawn using AWT. Basically, when the mouse collides with the cheese, I want the cheese to disappear, or call (cheese[i].hide()). However, the cheese does not appear. hide() works for all other objects that inherit from PFigure, but the cheese will not. It's created a major issue in my game, and basically the only task left to accomplish.I believe my problem lies within Cheese.java, method draw(). For example, if I replace it with an example drawing, this problem goes away!:
public void draw() {
Graphics g = panel.getGraphics();
g.setColor(Color.blue);
g.drawOval(x + width / 4 , y + 1, width / 2, height / 2);
[Code] ....
I have three classes below that most likely involve the problem, feel free to ask if you need the others.PFigure.java (This class cannot be changed as a requirement to my project)
import java.awt.*;
public abstract class PFigure implements Comparable {
protected int x, y; // Current position of the figure
protected int width, height; // Drawn (displayed) this size
protected int priority; // Can use to determine "winner"
protected Panel panel; // Panel the figure lives on
I am thinking of creating a quiz application and facing one problem.
On first question I don`t have to show previous button and on last question I don`t have to show next button.And for in between question I have to show both the buttons. . How can I do that in a JSP page.
Recently I have been thinking of using additional interfaces in one of my libraries to hide certain "unsafe" methods of my classes from the user. I would like to get the opinion of other, more advanced java programmers on this issue. What I do is something like the following (heavily simplified):
public interface ReadOnly { public int getValue(); } public interface ReadWrite extends ReadOnly { public void setValue(int value);
[Code] ....
The user would have access to the ExternalInterface. The ExternalInterface is controlling the values of the InternalComponent. The user can get the InternalComponent, but typecasted to a ReadOnly which does not expose the setters.
Now the thing is the user can still access the setValue method by typecasting the ReadOnly to an InternalComponent or to a ReadWrite, and that is not bad. If the user knows exactly what he/she is doing this will give him/her more flexibility and more power. But this way it *should* become obvious that this is not the intended use and perhaps the extra work of typecasting will discourage the user from doing this.
I have my code in 3 different files using encapsulation (Data hiding) and i have 1 problem at the very end of my code in my if and else statement (very bottom) when trying to call the classes from the other 2 documents. I will put the code in 1st document to 3rd document.
// FIRST DOCUMENT public class CollegeCourse { //class name //variables String deptName; int courseNum; int credits = 3; double fee;
[Code] ....
UPDATE: error message is
UseCourse.java:24: error: cannot find symbol LabCourse lc = new LabCourse(department, course, Credits); ^ symbol: variable department location: class UseCourse UseCourse.java:24: error: cannot find symbol LabCourse lc = new LabCourse(department, course, Credits);
I'm creating a card game and I'm having trouble getting a card gif to display. A card is drawn from an 52 card deck arraylist, and I then need to match that drawn card with the similarly named gif in an arraylist of card gifs, to display the gif on a card GUI. I have put my game, card, deck and graphical class below:
Card - public class Card { public String number; public String suit; public Card(String n, String s) { number = n; suit = s;
[Code] ....
The arrayList of card gifs (which contains all 52 gifs for the cards) is in the graphical class and my arrayList that contains the deck of cards in textual form (that I've imported from a textfile) is in deck. The names of the gifs in the gif arraylist are the same as the card names in my textual card arraylist (for example, 3h.gif is 3h in my card arraylist), so I believe I can use a .equals statement to match the card that has been drawn to the gif.
Here is what the gifs look like in their folder, which is an arraylist in my graphical class :
Here is what the drawn card looks like after the textual card arraylist has been shuffled:
The brown card in that image isn't the displayed card that has been drawn, it's just a graphical deck that I put in, I can't get the card that has been drawn on the GUI to display on the actual card frame, as you can see.
I'm following this tutorial![URL] I've copied over a lot of the code and also copied/pasted other parts! I understand how it works, but I can't figure out why the "X" or "O" won't paint onto the screen when the window is clicked on! Only a button is drawn when I click on the screen.

I am thinking of a project for my university the teachers liked it but I am not sure if its even possible.I am trying to make an andriod app. What I want to do is take a picture of a hand drawn logic circuit (having the AND, OR, NOT ... gates) recognize the gates, and make a circuit in the moblie and run it on all possible inputs.
For this I will have to make a simulator on mobile, that I dont think is the hard part. The problem is how could recognize the gates from a picture. Example of logical circuit is attached ( assume its hand drawn )..I found out that theres a edge detection plugin in java but still I dont think its enought to recognize the gates. Please share any algorithm or any technique or tools that I can use to make this thing.
So, I have this simple program that paints a string on JPanel using g2.drawString("Hello world", 40, 120). Basically, I want to be able to keep track of many strings on the JPanel at once. I'm not sure how to do this. For example, I would want to have an ArrayList of objects that keep track of these strings.
I want to be able to click-and-drag these strings so I will need to know there locations, etc.
Right now, using g2.drawString, it only draws the string. I want something like gw.draw(myStringObject).
Java 2D Drawing Application. The application will contain the following elements:
a) an Undo button to undo the last shape drawn.
b) a Clear button to clear all shapes from the drawing.
c) a combo box for selecting the shape to draw, a line, oval, or rectangle.
d) a checkbox which specifies if the shape should be filled or unfilled.
e) a checkbox to specify whether to paint using a gradient.
f) two JButtons that each show a JColorChooser dialog to allow the user to choose the first and second color in the gradient.
g) a text field for entering the Stroke width.
h) a text field for entering the Stroke dash length.
I) a checkbox for specifying whether to draw a dashed or solid line.
j) a JPanel on which the shapes are drawn.
k) a status bar JLabel at the bottom of the frame that displays the current location of the mouse on the draw panel.
If the user selects to draw with a gradient, set the Paint on the shape to be a gradient of the two colors chosen by the user. If the user does not chosen to draw with a gradient, the Paint with a solid color of the 1st Color.
Note: When dragging the mouse to create a new shape, the shape should be drawn as the mouse is dragged.
i would like to create a menu like below where if i clicked on "DRAW", a frame to draw will appear and when i clicked on animate, I can animate an object drawn. I tried on using JButton, but I donno how to customize the design n so I would like to know is there other ways so tat my menu will appear as below?
He said that if you need something that Swing can't provide, like a bar graph, you build it. Now, being used to just writing a method that will open up a JFrame, how you would actually build graphics on your own. How in the world would that work? How would one write their own methods to make a window or to build a graph?
I attempted to make my square move in the screen and i set up collision with another object, however the graphics are flickering, really flickering, here's the code:
Java Code:
import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.event.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; public class NewEmpty extends JFrame { double p1speed =5, p2speed =5;
I am attempting to create a n-body simulation using orbital dynamics and Java in school.
I am only in high-school, but I have some programming experience. The logic of this program comes quite easily. My problem is the graphical part, so I was just looking for quick methods to implement graphics.
What I am looking to do, is display objects onto the screen and manipulate their respective x and y coordinates as time pass. I have tried to use BufferedImages and an array of every pixel on the screen, but it quickly becomes extremely hard to draw circles etc. I have also tried the Graphics class and using g.fillOval() etc, but this can also get tedious.
Are there any more efficient methods, libraries etc? And also, how should I use the time variable, a variable that updates everytime the program updates?
I wanted to create a interface with buttons ofshapes and type of transformation where user first select a shape, the shape will appear and user will have to click on the buttons on resize, reflect, rotate or skew to transform to shape. How can i do the coding? such as adding listeners to the shapes?
What I am trying to do is save the the content drawn to my screen as an image. The following code is my render method and although I know how to use it, I don't fully understand the classes and how they work with is making this difficult.
public void render() { BufferStrategy bs = this.getBufferStrategy(); if (bs == null) { createBufferStrategy(3); return;
I have to write a program for class that basically uses Paint Component to draw a bunch of rectangles to look like a building then have them change color randomly. I am stuck I can't figure out how to make it draw the rectangles in rows and columns to look like the building i can make it display multiple squares randomly however but thats not the assignment.. here is my code
package labBuilding; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Graphics; import javax.swing.JPanel; @SuppressWarnings("serial") public class Building extends JPanel {
I see this is an object reference, but what is on the right side? Does not seem like a method, as it would not equal a method nor would the parentheses be on the left. Why are parentheses there? Disregarding the above code, I would like to know how to rotate without Graphics 2d
Also, with G2D you it will not allow for setting x coords
So I'm doing a project for my CS class where we have to create a snowman doing something. My picture is of Vince Young in the 2005 Rose Bowl. I'm trying to make the actual video clip from Youtube (do I need to download it? If so I can do that) appear on the scoreboard, but how.
import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import java.awt.Font.*; class snowBackground { public static void drawField(Graphics g, Color field)
[code]....
There are 3 other files that make the actual Snowmen.Also, would I need to download the mp3 sound file seperately and play that, or will inserting the video do both?
I used to think that it is simplly a tool to use to change colors and draw to specific container(ie JFrame, JPanel). However, I've been studying buffering (triple, double, flipping...etc) and how it works for 3 days now, and my confusion has only increased. for instance, why when we need to draw to the buffer(ie BufferStrategy, BufferedImage) we get its own graphics object to draw to it and then we project it to the screen? does the Graphics Object represent the drawing surface (ie the JPanel it self if we're using one to draw custom painting via JPanel#paintComponent(Graphics g)) ? so generally speaking if we are using a JPanel and we say bufferedImage#createGraphics and use that graphics object to draw to, we would not be drawing to the JPanel but to the BufferedImage correct?

Page flipping is used in full screen games which entails drawing an imagine off screen then swap with on screen image after drawing has completed.
Is it possible to write a block of code to actually see this happen? Like use this technique on a window that is in windowed mode. Would it draw an image off somewhere by the desktop or would it have to be on the window?
I have a .java file which has been built into a .class file, and now I want this to be called on the click of a button on the HTML page. Is 'applet' the answer to this ? I searched around this question on the internet prior to posting but every applet tutorial I see is related to graphics and drawing blocks etc. my java file does not have any graphics, it's just a simple stand-alone code which opens a file and displays it's contents on the terminal. Would like to now see the output on the browser.
I am trying to implement a game using the ACM graphics. For the game, I am trying to make the main frame a Grid of Cells.I made a Grid class which extends GCanvas:
import acm.graphics.GCanvas; public class Grid extends GCanvas{ private final static int WIDTH = 300; private final static int HEIGHT = 300; private final int DIMENSION = 5; Cell[][] grid;
