get width and height of JPanel outside of the class

So I created a simple simple simulation where squares are spawned randomly with random vectors and bounce of the edges of the window.
I wanted it to take into account the window being resized. So that if I change the dimensions of the window from 600x600 to 1200x600 the squares will bounce of the new border rather than 600x600.
I tried doing getWidth() getHeight() but it would return 0.
So I put it in the pain() (since it gets called on window resize) method and saved the return values as local variables. But I cannot call getjpWidth() from the Rect class.
So basically what I need is to get new window dimension into the move() method in the Rect class.
Please feel free to point out any other mistakes and things that can be done better. I'm new to 2D programming (studying Computer Science)

Don't know if it is the best design but I pass the "panel" as a parameter to the "move()" method so its width/height can be used.

Also, note that for animation you should be using a Swing Timer to schedule the animation. Updates to Swing components should be done on the Event Dispatch Thread (EDT). While not likely to cause a problem with this simple application it is a good habit to make sure this basic rule is followed otherwise you can have random problems and it is never easy to debug a random problem.

Java Snake Game: Apple showing while snake is invisible

I am following a the following video to design a snake game:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91a7ceECNTc
I am following it step by step, but when I run it, the snake does not show on my screen, just the apple. I think I have something wrong when implementing public void paint(Graphics g); Can someone help me?
This is the code my Main class
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame ();
GamePanel panel = new GamePanel();
frame.add(panel);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setTitle("Snake");
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
}
}
This is the Panel class:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Random;

setPreferredSize(new Dimension(WIDTH, HEIGHT));
addKeyListener(this);

} catch (InterruptedException e) {

}
}
public void tick() {
if (snake.size() == 0) {
b = new BodyPart(xCoor, yCoor, 10);
snake.add(b);
}
ticks++;
if (ticks > 250000) {

}
}

int xCoor = r.nextInt(99);
int yCoor = r.nextInt(99);
apple = new Apple(xCoor, yCoor, 10);
apples.add(apple);
}
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.clearRect(0, 0, WIDTH, HEIGHT);
g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
g.fillRect(0, 0, WIDTH, HEIGHT);
for (int i = 0; i < WIDTH/10; i++) {
g.drawLine(i*10, 0, i*10, HEIGHT);
}
for (int i = 0; i < HEIGHT/10; i++) {
g.drawLine(0, i*10, HEIGHT, i*10);
}
for (int i = 0; i < snake.size(); i++) {
snake.get(i).draw(g);
}
for (int i = 0; i < apples.size(); i++) {
apples.get(i).draw(g);
}
}
#Override

}
The Snake's body parts class:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class BodyPart {
public int xCoor, yCoor, width, height;
public BodyPart(int xCoor, int yCoor, int tileSize) {
this.xCoor = xCoor;
this.yCoor = yCoor;
width = tileSize;
height = tileSize;
}
public void tick() {
}
public void draw(Graphics g) {
g.setColor(Color.YELLOW);
g.fillRect(xCoor * width, yCoor * height, width, height);
}
public int getCoorX() {
return xCoor;
}
public void setCoorX (int xCoor) {
this.xCoor = xCoor;
}
public int getCoorY() {
return yCoor;
}
public void setCoorY(int yCoor) {
this.yCoor = yCoor;
}
}
And the Apple's Class:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class Apple {
public int xCoor, yCoor, width, height;
public Apple(int xCoor, int yCoor, int tileSize) {
this.xCoor = xCoor;
this.yCoor = yCoor;
width = tileSize;
height = tileSize;
}
public void tick() {
}
public void draw(Graphics g) {
g.setColor(Color.RED);
g.fillRect(xCoor * width, yCoor * height, width, height);
}
public int getxCoor() {
return xCoor;
}
public void setxCoor(int xCoor) {
this.xCoor = xCoor;
}
public int getyCoor() {
return yCoor;
}
public void setyCoor(int yCoor) {
this.yCoor = yCoor;
}
}

Okay, so the issue comes down to some basic maths...
If we take a look at the draw method for BodyPart you will find...
g.fillRect(xCoor * width, yCoor * height, width, height);
Okay, pretty basic, but are all these values actually set too?
If we take a look at the tick method (where BodyParts are created), we can find...
b = new BodyPart(xCoor, yCoor, 10);
snake.add(b);
Okay, so the width and height is 10, but what about xCoor and yCoor?
They're first initialised as instance fields along with the class...
private int xCoor = 100, yCoor = 100, size = 10;
So, a quick bit of maths tells us the initial location of the BodyPart is 100 * 10 which equals 1000x1000.
If we also take a look at ...
public static final int WIDTH = 1000, HEIGHT = 1000; //Dimensions of the panel (Will be set by user input later)
and
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(WIDTH, HEIGHT));
we can see that the BodyPart is actually been set off screen initially.
So, if we change the initial position to something more like...
private int xCoor = 10, yCoor = 10, size = 10;
you will find your missing snake.
General advice...
You should avoid overriding paint. It's to high in the paint chain and it's to easy to screw it up. Instead, prefer paintComponent instead (and make sure you're calling super.paintComponent). JPanel will then clear the Graphics context for you (with the background color of the component).
Swing is not thread safe. You should not be modify the UI or any state the UI relies on from outside the context of the Event Dispatching Thread.
The current "main" loop is in danger of introducing dirty updates which could cause issues later. See Concurrency in Swing. As a "general" preference, you should consider using a Swing Timer instead. It won't block the EDT, but's "ticks" are generated inside the EDT, making it safer to update the UI and/or its state from within.
You should avoid using "magic numbers" when performing your operations...
for (int i = 0; i < WIDTH/10; i++) {
g.drawLine(i*10, 0, i*10, HEIGHT);
}
Here, WIDTH and HEIGHT may not represent that actual size of the component. Instead make use of JPanel#getWidth and JPanel#getHeight instead.
As a general recommendation, you should avoid using setPreferred/Minimum/MaximumSize, it's to easy for someone else to change these to a state you don't want. Instead, override getPreferred/Minimum/MaximumSize instead, this way you maintain control.

Eclipse Game Lags Too Much

I also have a folder called Eclipse Game on my desktop and I refer to it in my code.
Again, I understand this is alot but any idea with making it lag less is helpful. Also, watching the tutorial (look at the beginning for the link) on making what I have finished so far will help make it less confusing for you to understand how the code works. The game seriously lags so much I cannot play.

There are multiple issues.
The first, as I already mentioned in my comment, is that you're calling startGame() inside your timer action listener:
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
paddle.update();
ball.update();
for(int i = 0; i < blocks.size(); i++) {
Block b = blocks.get(i);
b.update();
}
repaint();
startGame();
}
This is adding 3,200 blocks every second to the game, so you don't want that. I think the simplest place to put startGame() is at the end of the game constructor:
public Game() {
setFocusable(true);
paddle = new Paddle(250, 300);
addKeyListener(new KeyAdapt(paddle));
ball = new Ball(275, 280);
mainTimer = new Timer(10, this);
mainTimer.start();
startGame();
}
The other really big problem is that you're constantly reloading the images all the time. For example, look at this snippet:
if(getBounds().intersects(b.getBounds()) && velX!=-speed) {
velY=speed;
velX =- speed;
Game.removeBlock(b);
}
else if(getBounds().intersects(b.getBounds())) {
velY=speed;
velX = speed;
Game.removeBlock(b);
}
That is 4 calls to getBounds(), and if we take a look at that:
return new Rectangle(x2, y2, getBlockImg().getWidth(null), getBlockImg().getHeight(null));
You are loading 2 images which in total is 4*2*blockCount images every 10ms, just for this one method. Instead of loading images all the time, do something like this:
class GameResources {
static Image ballImage;
static Image paddleImage;
static Image blockImage;
// call GameResources.loadResources() at the
// beginning of main() or something
static void loadResources() {
// load all 3 images once here and be done
ballImage = ...;
paddleImage = ...;
blockImage = ...;
}
Then finally, you have an issue with removing items from the list while iterating over it, Ball.checkCollisions:
for(int i = 0; i < Game.getBlockList().size(); i++) {
Block b = Game.getBlockList().get(i);
if(getBounds().intersects(b.getBounds()) && velX!=-speed) {
velY=speed;
velX =- speed;
// removeBlock changes blocks.size()
Game.removeBlock(b);
}
else if(getBounds().intersects(b.getBounds())) {
velY=speed;
velX = speed;
// removeBlock changes blocks.size()
Game.removeBlock(b);
}
}
Instead you need to do something like this:
Iterator<Block> iter = Game.getBlockList().iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
Block b = it.next();
if(getBounds().intersects(b.getBounds()) && velX!=-speed) {
velY=speed;
velX =- speed;
// safely removing
it.remove();
}
else if(getBounds().intersects(b.getBounds())) {
velY=speed;
velX = speed;
// safely removing
it.remove();
}
}
And another possible boundary issue in Game.paint:
// using blockCount after possibly
// removing items from the list
// vvvvvvvvvv
for(int i = 0; i < blockCount; i++) {
Block b = blocks.get(i);
b.draw(g2d);
}
For simple iterations like this, you should use for-each:
for(Block b : blocks) {
b.draw(g2d);
}
After all of that the game runs pretty smoothly, except for some type of issue with the key listener which I didn't have time to figure out. I might look at it again after dinner.

How to move two circles together in a JFrame from two different classes

I am trying to display the two circles moving together on a single frame
through two different classes. But only one is shown moving at a time,even though value of "x" is changing continuously in class child1, paintComponent() is only taking the value of "x1" and showing the circle in moving from class child2.
If two separate frames are assigned to both the classes they works perfectly fine.
Here is my code
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.Timer;
public class Test13
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
child1 c1 = new child1();
child2 c2 = new child2();
JFrame f1 = new JFrame("Frame Test1");
f1.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);//passing a single JFrame to both methods as parameters
c1.cfunc1(f1);
c2.cfunc2(f1); // but this line always hides the upper one
f1.setSize(1000,700);
f1.setVisible(true);
}
}
class child1 extends JPanel implements ActionListener
{
int x,y;
int delay1;
Timer timer1; //timer for 1st class constructor
child1()
{
x=1;
y=100;
timer1 = new Timer(50,this);
}
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
if(x <= 500)
{
x += 1;
y = 100;
repaint();
}
}
#Override
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
super.paintComponent(g);
g.fillOval(x, y, 10, 10);
}
void cfunc1(JFrame f1)//passing JFrame as parameter
{
child1 c1 = new child1();
f1.add(c1);
c1.timer1.start(); //timer started at the end of class1
}
}
class child2 extends JPanel implements ActionListener
{
int x1,y1;
int delay2;
Timer timer2;
child2()
{
x1 = 500;
y1 = 100;
timer2 = new Timer(50,this);//timer for 2nd class constructor
}
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
if(x1 <= 500)
{
x1 -= 1;
y1 = 100;
repaint();
}
}
#Override
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
super.paintComponent(g);
g.fillOval(x1, y1, 10, 10);
}
void cfunc2(JFrame f1)//passing JFrame as parameter
{
child2 c2 = new child2();
f1.add(c2);
c2.timer2.start();//timer started for 2nd class
}
}

When two components are added to a single constraint of a BorderLayout (the default layout for a JFrame), only one is displayed.
The typical way to do this is not to design the custom painting in a JComponent (like JPanel) but instead to have them as simple classes which can paint(Graphics) or draw(Graphics) when requested to do so.
Then extend a single JComponent that iterates a list of the drawable components and paints each one.

Don't create individual classes (child1, child2) for each object. What if you want 50 objects? Instead you create a class that accepts parameters that allows you to customize the object.
This example shows how you might:
create a generic Ball class.
uses a Swing Timer for animation of the balls
create a panel that does custom painting by invoking the draw(...) method of each Ball.
Here is the code:

Normally you wouldn't make the classes static.

Why does the height of the rectangles jump vary?

Why does the height of the rectangle's jump vary? It seems to go in a cycle. First it jumps low then it doesn't jump at all then it jumps high then it doesn't jump at all. i can't figure out why as the same code is used and it is triggered by the same event.

Don't block the EDT (Event Dispatch Thread) - the GUI will 'freeze' when that happens. Instead of calling Thread.sleep(n) implement a Swing Timer for repeated tasks like animation. See Concurrency in Swing for more details.
frame.setSize(600, 700); I recommend instead setting a preferred size for the content and packing the frame around it. This suggests a constant size for the game on different PLAFs or OS'.
For Swing components other than top-level containers (e.g JFrame or JWindow), override paintComponent(Graphics) rather than paint(Graphics).
Look into key bindings instead of key listeners for Swing.
The first 3 are implemented, the last one (and other one commented in the code) is TODO - BNI.

Don't block the Event Dispatching Thread any way, it will prevent the EDT from processing repaint requests (and other events) which will make it look like your program has crashed. Have a read of Concurrency in Swing for more information.
Only modify the UI from the EDT, NEVER from any other thread, this includes creating UI elements
Favor key bindings over KeyListeners, they are more capable of resolving focus issues amongst other things. Have a read of How to Use Key Bindings for more details
Favor overriding paintComponent rather then paint. Paint does a lot of important work which you should avoid messing with if you can. Apart from any thing else paintComponent is going to be included in the double buffering of the component where as paint isn't (as super.paint sets it up)
Avoid using static state variables where possible
I don't know if this was deliberate or not, but, for (int i = 12; i < 0; i--); isn't going to achive anything, as the semi colen at the end means, do nothing for a count of 1
Personally, try not to use absolute values for things like width and height, which is actually reliant on parent container. You should also, where possible, provide sizing hints to allow the parent container to make better decisions on how much space it actually needs
UPDATED
Fixed bug in my movement code :P
I had a look at your collision detection code (in move) and, frankly, couldn't make heads or tails of it. I corrected it as well as changed in the way the paint method works so that x,y is always the top, left corner
