Im trying to make a simple game. I have the basic understanding of spreadsheet and the coding itself, but im havign problems now and then.
Can i place the drawImage function in my object class so that i can return it anywhere i want. example. Boar.java has a line
if(boss.isVisible())
boss.drawBoss();
adn the Boss.java has this
public Image drawBoss(){
Graphics g
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
return g2d.drawImage(.....)
}
So how to i make this work???
The Graphics objects comes from Swing. If you have a swing component, such as a JPanel, is will contain a paint method that will be called and passed a graphics object:
public class MyClass extends JPanel {
public void paint( Graphics g ) {
// use graphics object here
}
}
Take a look at this to get started:
So, as i understand, all the painting must be done int that one function, but i can send all the attributes to it.

Something like that. Try it out and see what happens.
Sending the attributes isnt a problem. i just want to animate the movement and i had an idea with the frame switching, but it had to be built in the object. Now i need to think up a differetn way to change frames.
