I am working on a 4 Way Pong Program. I have it to the point where my paddles will move with mouse movement, and the ball will bounce around the screen.
I am stuck when it comes to figuring out how to check for collisions between the ball and the paddles (which will increase the score) and between the ball and the edges of the JPanel (which will end the game).
Any guidance is greatly appreciated...

Thanks again...
For the Paddle-Ball collisions, I think calling this method on a timer might suffice:
public void checkPaddleCollisions(){
Rectangle a = new Rectangle(pTop.getX(), pTop.getY(), pTop.getWidth(), pTop.getHeight());
Rectangle b = ... //Do this for all the paddles.
Rectangle ball = new Rectangle(ball.getX(), ball.getY(), ball.getWidth(), ball.getHeight());
if(a.intersects(ball) || b.intersects(ball) || c.intersects(ball) || d.intersects(ball)){
//Increment score and bounce ball.
}
}
As for collisions with the edge, I think you could do something similar, just create 4 rectangles representing the edges of the screen.

I am trying to make a chess game in java, by having a class of pieces and a subclass for each piece. However, When I try to draw the pieces, The position doesn't seem to register.
Here is my Piece class:
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;

public int state;
public Image Sprite;
public AffineTransform tx;
public boolean dragged;
public int x;
public int y;
public Piece(int Id, int color, int position){
dragged = false;
this.Id = Id;
this.color = color;
int x = 100*(position % 8);
int y = 100*(position / 8);
System.out.println(x);
tx = AffineTransform.getTranslateInstance(x, y);
init(x, y);
}
private void init (double a, double b) {
tx.setToTranslation(a, b);
tx.scale(0.1, 0.1);
}
private void update(){
tx.setToTranslation(x*1000, y*1000);
tx.scale(0.1, 0.1);
}
protected Image getImage(String path) {
Image tempImage = null;
try {
URL imageURL = Piece.class.getResource(path);
tempImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(imageURL);
} catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}
return tempImage;
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
update();
g2.drawImage(Sprite, tx, null);
}
}
my pawn class:
public class Pawn extends Piece {
public Pawn(int Id, int color, int position) {
super(Id, color, position);
this.state = 0;
String path = "/imgs/Pieces/";
if(color == 0){

my Board class:

public Board(){
board = new Piece[8][8];
for(int i = 0; i < 8; i++){
board[1][i] = new Pawn(i, 1, 8+i);

I had previously written a game that implemented this techqnique, so I'm not sure what could have gone wrong with this one
It's really important to read the documentation, especially for something that is (to my simple brain), complicated.
If you have a read of the documentation for AffineTransform#scale
Concatenates this transform with a scaling transformation
(emphis added by me)
This is important, as it seems to apply that each time you call it, it will apply ANOTHER scaling operation.
Based on your avaliable code, this means that when the Piece is created, a scale is applied and the each time it's painted, a new scale is applied, until you're basically scaled out of existence.
Sooo. I took out your init (applied the scale within the constructor directly instead) and update methods and was able to get a basic result
Scaling from 1.0, 0.75, 0.5, 0.25and0.1` (it's there but I had to reduce the size of the output)

I am developing a space invaders application for a college assignment and I've come into a problem where the aliens change direction one by one as they hit a wall rather than the whole array of objects switching direction when any alien touches the boundary.

There is one Paraview user interface as follow attracted me.
I think this interface can be used to assign value into array. It works like this :
I want to implement this into a Java program but I found no Java API can support my idea. The closest design from me would be adding multiple JSlider like this :
But what if it is a 100 size array, I wouldn't want to add 100 JSliders. Do you have better solution for this ?
Okay, so this is a pretty basic example. It needs a lot more work and optimisation, but should get you moving in the right direction

A little rough with java but can someone tell me how I take a draw method from a list of objects, say there's more than 1 box, and put it in the actionPerform so I could modify the getter of X and Y to repaint() them and make them move?
From Box Class:
public void draw(Graphics g) {
g.setColor(Color.BLUE);
g.fillRect((int) (getX() - (width/2)), (int) (getY() - (height/2)), getWidth(), getHeight());
}
actionPerform method: (This is in another class)
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
timer.start();
}
The basic idea is...
When actionPerformed is called...
Iterate through the list of objects and update them in some meaningful way
Call repaint...
Then within your components paintComponent method, iterate the list and paint them
The following is a very basic concept...

I'm starting to learn java programming and I think it's cool to learn java through game development. I know how to draw image and listen to a keypress then move that image. But is it possible to make the image move back and forth to the window while the window is listening to a keypress? Like for example, while the image or object(like spaceship) is moving left to right in the window, then if I press space key, a laser will fire at the bottom of the screen( cool huh :D ). But basically I just want to know how to make the image move left to right while the window is listening to a keypress.
I'm thinking that I will add a key listener to my window then fire an infinite loop to move the image. Or do I need to learn about threading so that another thread will move the object?
Please advise.
Many thanks.

But basically I just want to know how to make the image move left to right while the window is listening to a keypress
You can use a Swing Timer to animate an image:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class TimerAnimation extends JLabel implements ActionListener
{
int deltaX = 2;
int deltaY = 3;
int directionX = 1;
int directionY = 1;
public TimerAnimation(
int startX, int startY,
int deltaX, int deltaY,
int directionX, int directionY,
int delay)
{
this.deltaX = deltaX;
this.deltaY = deltaY;
this.directionX = directionX;
this.directionY = directionY;
setIcon( new ImageIcon("dukewavered.gif") );
// setIcon( new ImageIcon("copy16.gif") );
setSize( getPreferredSize() );
setLocation(startX, startY);
new javax.swing.Timer(delay, this).start();
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
Container parent = getParent();
// Determine next X position
int nextX = getLocation().x + (deltaX * directionX);
if (nextX < 0)
{
nextX = 0;
directionX *= -1;
}
if ( nextX + getSize().width > parent.getSize().width)
{
nextX = parent.getSize().width - getSize().width;
directionX *= -1;
}
// Determine next Y position
int nextY = getLocation().y + (deltaY * directionY);
if (nextY < 0)
{
nextY = 0;
directionY *= -1;
}
if ( nextY + getSize().height > parent.getSize().height)
{
nextY = parent.getSize().height - getSize().height;
directionY *= -1;
}
// Move the label
setLocation(nextX, nextY);
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setContentPane(panel);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
frame.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
// frame.getContentPane().add( new TimerAnimation(10, 10, 2, 3, 1, 1, 10) );
frame.getContentPane().add( new TimerAnimation(300, 100, 3, 2, -1, 1, 20) );
// frame.getContentPane().add( new TimerAnimation(0, 000, 5, 0, 1, 1, 20) );
frame.getContentPane().add( new TimerAnimation(0, 200, 5, 0, 1, 1, 80) );
frame.setSize(400, 400);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
frame.setVisible(true);
// frame.getContentPane().add( new TimerAnimation(10, 10, 2, 3, 1, 1, 10) );
// frame.getContentPane().add( new TimerAnimation(10, 10, 3, 0, 1, 1, 10) );
}
}
You can add a KeyListener to the panel and it will operate independently of the image animation.
