Ethans Final Project

<< Cameron's Final Project | OldProjectsTrailIndex | Ian's Final Project >>

Great, I just took a look. You dont have to sacrifice the graphic, since you can generate a Rectangle2D object from the Buffered Image, like I did in Heart class of my DuckyLove applet. The heart changes the size of the graphic, so I use x,y,w,h, but you can just use image.getHeight() if you prefer

public Rectangle2D area(){
		return new Rectangle2D.Double(x-w/2, y-h/2, w, h);
	}

Matt and Cameron are processing key presses differently for a more "responsive" feel. on the keypress, they add it to an ArrayList, so you press and hold a key to glide the paddle. you can also opt to use the mouse instead. I've posted an alternate Paddle and Breakout to demonstrate, but feel free to make it work the way you wish. The way the bricks will interact with the ball is similar to the paddle, so I made the Paddle a subclass of Brick. I'm sure you can find a way to adds the bricks, and finding a way of scoring, adding sound if you wish...
