Problem with KeyListener and jframe - java

I've got problem with JFrame and KeyListerner in Tetris game. I've got two frames - one with Start Button and second with Board. In the second frame I want to control shapes from keyboard, but when I click start I can't do that. When I disactivate first frame - everything is ok. I know I have to focus on second frame and I tried do that, but with no effect. Could someone help me?
First frame:

Your code is to large for me to want to dig through, but what you want to do is possible.
Either way, I would suggest you move to one frame and possibly use a CardLayout or another GUI item to hide and show components because having the user change screens when the game starts is a strange UI. It will be more user friendly to just have it all in one frame. And this might fix your current issue.

Same here, the code is too large to dig. However if you are facing problems in setting the focus try frame.requestFocus();

First, a JPanel that wants to grab focus has to be focusable or focus traversable.
You should consider overriding isFocusTraversable to return true.
In your panel class :
#Override
public boolean isFocusTraversable()
{
return true;
}//met
This means your component can have focus.
Second, if you want your jpanel to* actually have the focus*, you can call his method
panel.requestFocus();
you should do that at the beginning of the game, right after the pack/setVisible( true ); and at the end of every actionlistener that will make it loose focus (typically buttons'actionlisteners).
Regards,
Stéphane

Instead of using a KeyListener you should be using Key Bindings.

keyListener was not working for me in Frame. Later I found out that the problem was that my key controls were going to the Button that I had added in the Frame. When I removed the Button, The key control went back to the frame and keyEvents were working.
But I have not found a way to use keyEvents even after keeping the Button in Frame!

My GUI won't show and I can't seem to understand why?

I am writing a video game GUI and I want to firstly open a frame with a menu bar and when the user clicks on play in the menu a JPanel that is in a different class gets added to the current one and it ends up with a frame containing the menu bar and the JPanel. When I run the code bellow I don't get any errors and the console initiates the process. The problem is nothing shows on the screen?? Not the initial frame or anything else.
The code for the frame that calls the class with the JPanel is:

First of all, dont add a JMenuBar by frame.add(myJMenuBar,someConstraints). Do it by calling the method frame.setJMenuBar(myJMenuBar);
Secondly, you add the components into the frame (its content pane), and after that you frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());, while you should first set the layout and AFTER add the components to it:
frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
frame.add(janela, BorderLayout.CENTER);
This works:
You might notice it replaces the ridiculously long & complicated TetrisBoard with a red panel with a preferred size of 400 x 200. This is how you should figure such things out. Post a minimal reproducible example in future.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Tetris extends JFrame {
public Tetris() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
JPanel janela = new JPanel();
janela.setBackground(Color.RED);
janela.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400,200));

Java | How can I make one of the threads sleep while the other ones are still running?

I'm currently working on an application which uses the draw function to animate "bouncing images" in a JPanel. To accomplish it I had to learn to use threads. When I used them in my code someone recommended that instead of using threads directly I can use stuff like Executor framework and ExecutorService.
Right now my problem is that when adding new images I need to make sure that they don't get created inside each other. When the program detects that they would be intersecting it should wait some amount of time, while all the other threads keep running, so images are still getting moved and drawn in current positions.
What happens however is that when I make one of the threads sleep to wait for a spot to be empty the whole program seems to freeze. The only thing that seems to be running is the image moving function.

You are blocking the main thread in method addImage in Thread.sleep(50). Instead, you could ensure that you call method addImage asynchronously, e.g.
if (e.getActionCommand().equals("Add")) {
CompletableFuture.runAsync(this::addImage);
}
if (e.getActionCommand().equals("Add 10")) {
CompletableFuture.runAsync(() -> addImages(10));
}
with
private void addImages(int numberOfImages) {
for(int i = 0; i < numberOfImages; i++) {
addImage();
startAnimation();
}
}
If you want to experiment a bit more with threads, then you can think about how to do it "by hand".

How to create a simple menu for a Java Snake Game?

I want to add a simple menu to my Java Snake game which will contain three buttons (New Game, Difficulty and Quit). I have created a class for the menu and a class for the mouse input. I have used an enum to store the states of the game (MAIN_MENU, DIFFICULTY_MENU and GAME) and a variable called STATE which stores the current state.
The main problem is that although the state of the game is changed when the "New Game" button is pressed the game doesn't start. I have tried to add game state checks inside the methods that are involved in setting the gameplay and I have also tried calling those methods from the mousePressed() method of the MouseInput class but none of these worked.
I would greatly appreciate if you could give me some tips on how to solve this issue.

SnakeGame how to make the tail follow the head?

I am making a snake game, and I am stuck at where making the tails follow the head. And I heard using an add and remove on the head and tails could make that happen, but I have no idea where to start with that.
Here's my code so far:
Screen.java
public class Screen extends JPanel implements ActionListener, KeyListener {
public static final JLabel statusbar = new JLabel("Default");
public static final int WIDTH = 800, HEIGHT = 800;
Timer t = new Timer(100, this);
int x = 400;
int y = 400;
int size = 5; //increase size if eat
private boolean right = false, left = false, up = false, down = false;
int head = 0;
private LinkedList<BodyPart> snake = new LinkedList<BodyPart>();
private BodyPart b;
public Screen(){
initSnake();
t.start();
addKeyListener(this);
setFocusable(true);
setFocusTraversalKeysEnabled(false);
}
public void update(){
}
public void direction(){
if(right) x+=10;
if(left) x-=10;
if(up) y-=10;
if(down) y+=10;
}
public void trackOutBound(){
if(x < 0 || x > 800 || y < 0 || y > 800) {
x = 400;
y = 400;
}
}
public void initSnake(){
if(snake.size() == 0){
b = new BodyPart(x, y);
for(int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
snake.add(b);
}
System.out.println(snake);
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
}
#Override
public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
super.paintComponent(g);
g.setColor(new Color(10, 50, 0));
g.fillRect(0, 0, WIDTH, HEIGHT);
g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
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, WIDTH, i * 10);
}
int tempx = 0, tempy = 0;
int temp = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < size; i++){
if(i == head) {
snake.get(i).x = x;
snake.get(i).y = y;
snake.get(i).draw(g);
g.setColor(Color.blue);
g.fillRect(x, y, 10, 10);
g.setColor(Color.white);
g.drawRect(x, y, 10, 10);
} else if(i > 0 && up) {
snake.get(i).x = x;
snake.get(i).y = y + temp;
snake.get(i).draw(g);
} else if(i > 0 && down) {
snake.get(i).x = x;
snake.get(i).y = y - temp;
snake.get(i).draw(g);
} else if(i > 0 && left) {
snake.get(i).x = x + temp;
snake.get(i).y = y;
snake.get(i).draw(g);
} else if(i > 0 && right) {
snake.get(i).x = x - temp;
snake.get(i).y = y;
snake.get(i).draw(g);
}
temp += 10;
}
/*
if(snake.size() == 5){
snake.add(b);
size += 1;
}
*/
}
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
direction();
trackOutBound();
repaint();
// System.out.println(snake);
statusbar.setText("(" + x + " , " + y + ")");
}
#Override
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {}
#Override
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
int key = e.getKeyCode();
if(key == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT && !left) {
up = false;
down = false;
right = true;
}
if(key == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT && !right) {
up = false;
down = false;
left = true;
}
if(key == KeyEvent.VK_UP && !down) {
left = false;
right = false;
up = true;
}
if(key == KeyEvent.VK_DOWN && !up) {
left = false;
right = false;
down = true;
}
}
#Override
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {}
}
BodyPart.java
public class BodyPart {
int x;
int y;
public BodyPart(int x, int y) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
public void draw(Graphics g) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
g.setColor(Color.red);
g.fillRect(x, y, 10, 10);
g.setColor(Color.white);
g.drawRect(x, y, 10, 10);
}
}
Frame.java
public class Frame extends JPanel {
private static JLabel statusbar = new JLabel("Default");
public void statusbar(){
statusbar = Screen.statusbar;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame f = new JFrame();
Screen s = new Screen();
f.add(s);
f.add(statusbar, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
f.setSize(800, 800);
f.setVisible(true);
f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
f.setResizable(false);
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}
}
Now this code would only make the tails flip to the horizontal or vertical, is it possible to make the tails follow the head by using this code? or I need to change my code?
Thank you
The basic idea is, you need some kind of List which contains ALL the points of the snake. Conceptually, the List would contain virtual coordinates, that is 1x1 would represent a coordinate in virtual space, which presented a place on a virtual board (which would have some wide and height).
You could then translate that to the screen, so this would allow each part of the snake to be larger then a single pixel. So, if each part was 5x5 pixels, then 1x1 would actually be 5x5 in the screen.
Each time the snake moves, you add a new value to the head and remove the last value from tail (assuming it's not growing). When you needed to paint the snake, you would simply iterate over the List, painting each point of the snake.
The following is a simple example, which uses a LinkedList, which pushes a new Point onto the List, making a new head, and removing the last element (the tail) on each cycle.
Which basically boils down to...
snakeBody.removeLast();
snakeBody.push(new Point(xPos, yPos));

Now, this has no collision detection or other functionality, but you can move the snake around and it will follow itself
For snake style movement, you can, from the tail to the head, move each BodyPart position to the position of the BodyPart ahead of it. For the head there is no part ahead so you have to write decision code whether to simply move the same direction as the part before it or a new direction based on input. Then update the screen.

repaint() doesn't repaint on call?

I'm trying to make a match 3 game. I am trying to create some visual aid to what is actually happening by first marking the gems that need to be deleted "black", and after that letting gravity do it's job. I'm struggling to do this, I called repaint(); after I marked them "black", but it doesn't seem to work. I also tried adding in revalidate(); as suggested in another question but that doesn't seem to fix the problem either. Here's the piece of code that's troubling me.
Trouble code:
public void deletePattern(Set<Gem> gemsToDelete){
for(Gem gem : gemsToDelete)
gem.setType(7);
repaint(); //This doesn't seem to work
doGravity();
switchedBack = true;
checkPattern();
}
I want to repaint the board before doGravity() and after the enhanced for loop. Could it be that I'm not using the thread correctly in the doGravity() method?
Here's the full code:

Your code is initiated via a mouse click. Code invoked from a Swing listener is executed on the Event Dispatch Thread (EDT), which is also responsible for painting the GUI
The Thread.sleep() in your doGravaity() method causes the EDT to sleep, therefore the GUI can't repaint() itself until the whole looping code is finished, at which point it will just paint the final state of your animation.
Instead of sleeping, you need to use a Swing Timer to schedule animation. So basically, in the deletePattern() method you would start the Timer to do the gravity animation. This will free up the EDT to repaint itself and when the Timer fires you would animate your components one move and then do repaint() again. When the components are finished moving you stop the timer.
Read the section from the Swing tutorial on Concurrency for more information about the EDT.
Call this.invalidate() or this.postInvalidate() which then forces a repaint.
