I’m writing a simple graphics editor, thus far I can draw some figures, move and enlarge them. I’m trying to allow user to change color of figure. After I right click in a shape, there appears a popup menu with colors to choose. But no matter what I do - the shape’s color doesn’t change. :/ I hope to get help, I spent a of of time on it but no idea how to solve it. :/

First, you should be displaying a JPopupMenu in response to only one type of event. You are currently calling colorMenu.doPop(e) in the mousePressed method and twice in the mouseClicked method.
To make sure you only display a JPopupMenu when you’re supposed to, you should use the JPopupMenu.isPopupTrigger method. This way, the menu will be displayed on mousePress or mouseClick, but never both. You do not want to display a JPopupMenu more than once in response to a single mouse action!
private int selectedIndex = -1;
// ...
#Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
{
selectedIndex = isSelected(e);
if (colorMenu.isPopupTrigger(e)) {
colorMenu.doPop(e);
} else if (e.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON1) {
// ...
#Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
{
if (selectedIndex >= 0 && colorMenu.isPopupTrigger(e) && radio.getChoice().equals("Edycja"))
{
colorMenu.doPop(e);
The next problem is that you’re trying to read colorMenu.color before the user has made a color selection. When you call colorMenu.doPopup(e), the menu is displayed and the method returns immediately. It does not wait for the user to make a selection and dismiss the menu. Your code is trying to immediately make use of colorMenu.color, but it hasn’t been set yet.
The only way to know when the user has selected a color is with an ActionListener. Your ColorMenu class has an ActionListener, but currently there is no way for the PaintPanel class to know when the ActionListener has been triggered.
You can give your ColorMenu class the capability of notifying listeners in other classes, using the inherited listenerList object:
public void addChangeListener(ChangeListener listener) {
listenerList.add(ChangeListener.class, listener);
}
public void removeChangeListener(ChangeListener listener) {
listenerList.remove(ChangeListener.class, listener);
}
public ChangeListener[] getChangeListeners() {
return listenerList.getListeners(ChangeListener.class);
}
protected void fireChangeListeners() {
ChangeEvent event = new ChangeEvent(this);
for (ChangeListener listener : getChangeListeners()) {
listener.stateChanged(event);
}
}
(ChangeListener and ChangeEvent are in the javax.swing.event package.)
This allows other classes to listen for a user selection. You want to change ColorMenu to actually notify those listeners:
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
// (other code) ...
this.color = colors.get(j);
fireChangeListeners();
}
Now, you can make PaintPanel listen for a user selection:
public PaintPanel()
{
super();
addMouseListener(this);
addMouseMotionListener(this);
addMouseWheelListener(this);
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
setBackground(bgColor);
colorMenu.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {
#Override
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent event) {
if (selectedIndex >= 0)
{
Shape figure = figures.get(selectedIndex);
if (figure instanceof MyEllipse2D)
((MyEllipse2D) figure).color = colorMenu.color;
else if (figure instanceof MyRectangle2D)
((MyRectangle2D) figure).color = colorMenu.color;
else if (figure instanceof MyPolygon2D)
((MyPolygon2D) figure).color = colorMenu.color;
}
}
});
}
You should remove that color changing code from mouseClicked, as it will never be valid to call it there, since the user hasn’t selected a color yet:
#Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
{
if (selectedIndex >= 0 && colorMenu.isPopupTrigger(e) && radio.getChoice().equals("Edycja"))
{
colorMenu.doPop(e);
// Nothing else to do here, since the user has not selected a color yet.
}
}
The basic problem is, you need to know when the color is selected from the menu. The solution to the problem can be achieved in a number of different ways.
You could continue to use a MouseListener to monitor the mousePressed, mouseReleased and mouseClicked events, but you should be making using of the MouseEvent#isPopupTrigger property to determine when the popup should be displayed, as the triggers are different for different platforms.
Another solution would be to use JComponent#setComponentPopupMenu all the component to take care of the action itself. This, however, would require a slight change in design.
This approach places the onus back onto the component, rather then been separated into a different class, like you have the ColorMenu right now.
To start with, we need to know the selected shape, so, to the PaintPanel, we need to add a new property
private Shape selectedShape;
All this does is determines which shape was selected by the user.
Next we need someway to update the shape color. This can be achieved by simply adding a new method to the paintPanel method, which is called when the color is to be changed.
public void setShapeColor(Color color) {
//...
}
Next, we take advantage of the Action API and create a simple ColorAction.
This is self contained unit of work, which contains the information need to display it on a menu (or button) and which determines the actions to take when triggered.
public class ColorAction extends AbstractAction {
private Color color;
public ColorAction(String name, Color color) {
super(name);
this.color = color;
}
public Color getColor() {
return color;
}
#Override
public boolean isEnabled() {
return getSelectedShape() != null;
}
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
setShapeColor(color);
}
}
In this case, this simple inner class to PaintPanel will call setShapeColor when triggered.
"But wait", I hear you call, "The colors can only be selected when a shape is selected!" Ah, we can control the Action through the isEnabled method, which will only return true when a shape is actually selected.
This might seem somewhat counterintuitive, but by not displaying a popup menu when nothing is displayed, it causes the user to think that no popup menu will be displayed ever, at least this way, we can display a popup menu with it's options disabled.
The next trick is trying to determine what is selected. Unfortunately, during my testing, the OS consumed the mousePressed event, which would have been most useful to make this determination, however, not all is lost.
The JComponent will call getPopupLocation just before the popup is made visible, passing in the MouseEvent which triggered it, we can take advantage of this to determine which shape would be selected
#Override
public Point getPopupLocation(MouseEvent event) {
selectedShape = null;
for (int i = figures.size() - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
if (figures.get(i).contains(event.getPoint())) {
selectedShape = figures.get(i);
}
}
return super.getPopupLocation(event);
}
For a more complete example...
public class PaintPanel extends JPanel implements MouseListener, MouseMotionListener, MouseWheelListener {
private ArrayList<Point2D.Double> points = new ArrayList<>();
private ArrayList<Shape> figures = new ArrayList<>();
private Shape selectedShape;
private Color mainColor = Color.blue;

public PaintPanel() {
super();
addMouseListener(this);
addMouseMotionListener(this);
addMouseWheelListener(this);
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
setBackground(bgColor);
setComponentPopupMenu(makePopupMenu());
}
protected JPopupMenu makePopupMenu() {
JPopupMenu menu = new JPopupMenu();
menu.add(new ColorAction("Black", Color.black));
menu.add(new ColorAction("Blue", Color.blue));
menu.add(new ColorAction("Cyan", Color.cyan));

menu.add(new ColorAction("Yellow", Color.yellow));
menu.add(new ColorAction("White", Color.white));
return menu;
}
public Shape getSelectedShape() {
return selectedShape;
}
#Override

return new Dimension(200, 200);
}
#Override
public Point getPopupLocation(MouseEvent event) {
selectedShape = null;
for (int i = figures.size() - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
if (figures.get(i).contains(event.getPoint())) {
selectedShape = figures.get(i);
}
}

There are a couple of other ways you might achieve this, but I'd be using these basic principles are the cornerstone of the design.
For example, you could have a "color model" which get's passed to the popup menu class, which would be updated when a color is selected
I've been constructing a short program that basically draws a spaceship on a JPanel and listens for keys that tell the program to shoot a bullet. The problem is that it's not even painting the spaceship or the bullets on the screen. I also suspect that the KeyBindings may not be working as that was a previous problem (that I may or may not have fixed), but the main issue at hand is still the fact that my screen isn't being painted. Here is my code:
public enum Direction {
LEFT, RIGHT, SPACE
}
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame;
Ship s1;
Shoot shoot;
// Set the frame up
frame = new JFrame();
frame.setSize(400, 300);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setResizable(false);
frame.setVisible(true);
// Get some more necessary objects
s1 = new Ship();
shoot = new Shoot(s1);
frame.getContentPane().add(shoot);
s1.setShoot(shoot);
// Threads
Thread ship = new Thread(s1);
ship.start();
}

So, there are a number of issues...
You should call setVisible on the JFrame last, this will ensure that components are laid out
Your keybindings issue seem to related to the fact that you're using the movement Set, but you never actually add anything to it. Instead you should be checking the dir value.
And probably a bunch of other things. Your code is tightly coupled and there isn't any centralised management of the state.
I'd start by having a better understand of the Model-View-Controller paradigm and separate the code into appropriate areas of responsibility.
The "data" for the game should separate from the "rendering" of the game, which should be separate from the decisions about how the game is to be updated.
What I'm about to present is an oversimplification intended to spark ideas, rather than been a concrete solution, as there are a number of ways you could achieve the physical implementation...
So, what we need is, a concept of something in the game, AKA an "entity", entities take many forms, but I'm going to focus on renderable/displayable entities. You need some kind of model that is responsible for modeling the current state of the game and which is responsible for implementing the rules. You need some kind of view, which is responsible for rendering the model and responding to user input. You need some kind of controller which controls how the model and the view bridged.
It's always a good idea to start with a series of interfaces which define the contractual expectations and outlines the expected means by which elements are expected to communicate with each other. Again, I've taken a simple, direct approach, but it's by no means the only...
public static enum Direction {
LEFT,
RIGHT,
SPACE
}
public interface Entity {
public void paint(Graphics2D g2d);
public Point getLocation();
public void setLocation(Point p);
public Dimension getSize();
}
public interface GameModel {
public Entity[] getEntities();
public void update(Rectangle bounds, Set<Direction> keys);
}
public interface GameController {
public Entity[] getEntities();
public void setDirection(Direction direction, boolean pressed);
public void start();
}
public interface GameView {
public void setController(GameController controller);
public GameController getController();
public Rectangle getViewBounds();
public void repaint();
}
Let's take a look at the implementation of the entities. This example has two entities, a Player and a Bullet...
public abstract class AbstractEntity implements Entity {
private final Point location = new Point(0, 0);
#Override
public Point getLocation() {
return new Point(location);
}
#Override
public void setLocation(Point p) {
location.setLocation(p);
}
}
public class Player extends AbstractEntity {
public Player(Rectangle bounds) {
int x = bounds.x + ((bounds.width - getSize().width) / 2);
int y = bounds.y + (bounds.height - getSize().height);
setLocation(new Point(x, y));
}
#Override
public Dimension getSize() {
return new Dimension(40, 17);
}
#Override
public void paint(Graphics2D g2d) {
Point p = getLocation();
Dimension size = getSize();
g2d.setColor(Color.BLUE);
g2d.fillRect(p.x, p.y + 7, size.width, 10);
g2d.fillRect(p.x + 18, p.y, 4, 7);
}
}
public class Bullet extends AbstractEntity {
#Override
public void paint(Graphics2D g2d) {
Rectangle bullet = new Rectangle(getLocation(), getSize());
g2d.setColor(Color.RED);
g2d.fill(bullet);
}
#Override
public Dimension getSize() {
return new Dimension(4, 8);
}
}
Nothing spectacular, but they each define their parameters and can render their states when asked.
Next, we have the model, controller and view. This example uses the controller as the primary game loop, responsible for updating the game (model) state and scheduling repaints. This is done with the use of a Swing Timer as this prevents possible race conditions between the update loop and the painting loop. A more complex implementation would need to take over the painting process through the use of a BufferStrategy and BufferStrategy and BufferCapabilities.
The model simply takes the current view boundaries and the current state of the keys and updates the state of the entities.
The view monitors user input, notifying the controller, and renders the current state of the game.
You'll note that the view and model never communicate directly with each other, this is the domain of the controller.

Again, you're going to need to go away and do some more research, but this is the general idea
Your drawing depends on the boolean variable shooting; there is one place where shooting is being set to true; if the key operations dont work the flow of the program may never reach there and that may never happen.
So I sugest you minimize your project to a screen that will draw the graphic without depending on pressing keys.
If you can see the graphics then you can add gradually the keys
I am currently trying to learn a little bit about programming games.
I got myself a player class extending a sprite class i wrote by myself.
Now i want to know, how i can change the image of my player object in the middle of the running game. imagine a spaceship, when pressing the right arrow key it should be a different image, inclined to the right.
now i am trying to do this:
when a button is pressed (e.g. space) setImage(the new image)
But now, when i call this method my image just disappears and the new one won't appear?
Any ideas?
My code of the Main class:
public class Game extends JPanel implements Runnable{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public boolean isRunning;
public static final int WIDTH = 320;
public static final int HEIGHT = 240;
public static final int SCALE = 2;
private Player player;
public Game() {
addKeyListener(new TAdapter());
setFocusable(true);
requestFocus();
start();
}
public void start() {
isRunning = true;
new Thread(this).start();
}
public void stop() {
isRunning = false;
}
public void run() {
init();
while(isRunning) {
update();
repaint();
try {
Thread.sleep(5);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
public void init() {
player = new Player("/ship_blue", WIDTH - 32/2, 400);
}
public void update() {
player.update();
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
super.paint(g);
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
drawPlayer(g2d);
}
public void drawPlayer(Graphics2D g2d) {
if(player.isVisible)g2d.drawImage(player.getImage(),(int) player.getX(), (int) player.getY(), null);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Game gameComponent = new Game();
Dimension size = new Dimension(WIDTH*SCALE, HEIGHT*SCALE);
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Invaders");
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setSize(size);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setResizable(false);
frame.add(gameComponent);
}
public class TAdapter extends KeyAdapter{
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
player.keyPressed(e);
}
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
player.keyReleased(e);
}
}
}
That's the main class, now the player class in which i am trying to change the image in the onPress() method:
public class Player extends Sprite{
private double glideSpeed = .125;
private int fixY;
private int xDirection = 0;
private int yDirection = 1;
public Player(String source, int x, int y) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource(source));
setImage(ii.getImage());
setTileSize(ii.getIconWidth());
setSpeed(0.2);
fixY = y;
}
public void update() {
x += xDirection * 1.4;
glide(10);
}
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
int key = e.getKeyCode();
if(key == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT) {
xDirection = 1;
}
if(key == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT) {
xDirection = -1;
}
if(key == KeyEvent.VK_SPACE) {
ImageIcon ii2 = new ImageIcon("/player_blue_negativ");
setImage(ii2.getImage()); //<-----Here I am trying to change the image
}
}
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
int key = e.getKeyCode();
if(key == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT || key == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT) {
xDirection = 0;
}
}
public void glide(int span) {
y += yDirection * glideSpeed;
if(y - fixY > span || fixY - y > span) {
yDirection = -yDirection;
}
}
}
And to complete everything here's my sprite class:
public class Sprite {
protected double x;
protected double y;
protected int tileSize;
protected double speed;
protected Image img;
protected boolean isVisible;
public Sprite() {
isVisible = true;
}
public double getSpeed() {
return speed;
}
public double getX() {
return x;
}
public double getY() {
return y;
}
public int getTileSize() {
return tileSize;
}
public Image getImage() {
return img;
}
public boolean getVisible() {
return isVisible;
}
public void setSpeed(double speed) {
this.speed = speed;
}
public void setX(double x) {
this.x = x;
}
public void setY(double y) {
this.y = y;
}
public void setTileSize(int tileSize) {
this.tileSize = tileSize;
}
public void setImage(Image img) {
this.img = img;
}
public void die() {
isVisible = false;
}
}
if(key == KeyEvent.VK_SPACE) {
ImageIcon ii2 = new ImageIcon("/player_blue_negativ");
There is the basic problem. All images should be loaded and cached prior to an event happening. When the event occurs, use the cached image and the GUI should render immediately.
As mentioned by #camickr, the use of an ImageIcon also subtly slips from an URL to a String (presumed to represent a
File path). Stick with the URL obtained from getResource(..).
On ImageObserver.
If an ImageObserver is used to paint the image, the observer will be informed of updates to images that are asynchronously loaded. All components (e.g. JPanel) implement ImageObserver, so..
g2d.drawImage(player.getImage(),(int) player.getX(), (int) player.getY(), null);
Should be:
g2d.drawImage(player.getImage(),(int) player.getX(), (int) player.getY(), this);
Free the EDT!
class Game extends JPanel implements Runnable ..
Thread.sleep(5);
Don't block the EDT (Event Dispatch Thread) - the GUI will 'freeze' when that happens.
Also don't attempt to update the GUI from anything other than the EDT.
Instead of calling Thread.sleep(n) in a Runnable, implement a Swing Timer for repeating tasks or a SwingWorker for long running tasks. See Concurrency in Swing for more details.
Use paintComponent(Graphics) for Swing components!
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Should be:
#Override
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
When you load the initial image you use the following without a problem:
ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource(source));
When you change the image you use:
ImageIcon ii2 = new ImageIcon("/player_blue_negativ");
I'm guessing you don't find the image, probably because you don't need the "/". But why not use the same method that you know works?
I have these two classes:
public class Pencil extends JComponent implements MouseListener, MouseMotionListener{
Plansa plansa;
Graphics g;
public Pencil(Plansa newCanvas){
this.plansa = newCanvas;
this.plansa.setFlagShape(false);

My problem is that every time I call paintComponent() method, the JPanel clears and the only item that remains is the one I just drawn. Is there any way to avoid this?
After close inspection of the code, it appears that you're trying to use Components as "painters", it's a bit like using a sports car as a go-kart, a lot of extras for little gain.
Instead, you should define yourself a interface of some kine that provides the basic requirements of what you want to draw/paint and then define concrete class implementations that implement the functionality.
You would then maintain a List of some kind of all the drawings that can be painted.
While simple, the example below provides a jumping off point that could be enhanced that allow selection of drawings, re-ordering and removal (should you want it).
This, is, essentially, the same concept proposed by Doorknob (+1)

Store all the objects in an ArrayList and iterate through it when you are drawing.
You could have them all implement a custom interface, Drawable for example, then store in an ArrayList<Drawable>.
A better idea generally for progressive drawings is to use a BufferedImage as the canvas, as seen here.
Don't use/comment out:
super.paintComponent(g);
That line is the one that is doing the clearing.
I am making a game (see my previous threads) and have encountered a lot of problems on the way. All I know is that he code compiles, runs, but nothing appears in the window, it's just grey. At Andrew Thompson's suggestion, I am posting the entire compilable version here. Sorry for the length but it is ALL the code in the program. And a lot of things will probably not make sense (unused ActionPerformed to name one), partially because I implemented code in the event that I would need it but mostly because I have never done this before.
Also, so far I have no multithreading, because once again, I am new to this, so ideally I would like to keep it that way, if only for the sake of my sanity.
EDIT: Forgot to mention I have 4 PNGs in there representing the 4 different objects that appear. My code is flexible enough for you to supply your own. Here is the image I am using for ships and here is the one for bullets just make copies, put them the source file and name them "Enemy-ship" "ship2" "Ebullet" and "PBullet"

I can't believe your write 700 lines of code without doing any testing along the way. Its time you go back to the beginning and start with something simple. That is the whole point of a SSCCE. Start with painting a couple of compononents. Once you get that working you add some movement. Once that is working you add collision logic.
The only thing I noticed with a quick broswe is that you override paintComponents(). There is no need to do that custom painting is done in the pantComponent() method.
If you can't produce a smaller sized SSCCE, then all I can do is wish you good luck.
Ok, so I think I have figured most of it out.
You have a couple problems.
First, you should only see a grey screen with a black rectangle in the middle since you have nothing in your Bullet and Enemy Arrays. This is what I got when I ran your code (after removing references to endEvent cuz it couldn't find it). So to fix this, just give it something to draw
The second problem is apparent once you give it something to draw. I manually put in a line of code to draw the Player, for which I used one of my own pngs. When you do this it will fail to compile with a null pointer exception. The reason is because in your GameView class, you have your Graphics object called "graphics" set to null, but then you proceed to call paintComponents(graphics). As mentioned before, this only compiled before because you never actually drew anything. To fix this, you can just remove
public void paintComponents (Graphics g)
{
for(Bullet j : GameState.getEnBullets()){
g.drawImage(j.getImage(),j.getX(), j.getY(), null);}
for(Enemy j : GameState.getEnemies()){
g.drawImage(j.getImage(),j.getX(), j.getY(), null);}
for(Bullet j : GameState.getPlayBullets()){
g.drawImage(j.getImage(),j.getX(), j.getY(), null);}
this.paint(g);
}
and let the overridden paintComponent(Graphics g) method above it do all the work. Additionally, instead of the paintComponents(graphics) calls, use repaint(). Also you can get rid of the first call to paintComponents(graphics) in the constructor as it will paint the first time by default. If you really want to use your own method then you have to create a Graphics object and pass that in.
Lastly, in the overridden paintComponents(Graphics g) method, you have the last line being to draw the giant black box. This will then cover up anything you've drawn before. So you should have that as the first line and draw everything else in order such that the thing you want to be on top should be drawn last. I was able to get my test image to show up with the following code for that class. I don't think I changed anything else.

The other thing is in some of your other classes you have #Override over the actionPerformed method. My IDE doesn't like that, although it does compile. It says "#Override is not allowed when implementing interface methods."
Hopefully this works for you.
try adding repaint(); after you make a change to a content pane. I dont think concurrency is going to be a problem unless you clog up your EDT.
