VERY URGENT JAVA APPLET

[james12James12]

HI I have been building a game applet. I have coded as far as getting rectangles to move on a timer and put integers into the rectangles. I am not familar with how to click the rectangles and I also want to get the different numbers going through an ArrayList as its a math game and there can only be one correct answer.

This is my code. I have an applet class and a square class.

Sorry the second one is the square class.

[sirlink99]

For clicking the rectangles you will want to take a look at the MouseListener, MouseMotionListener and the Rectangle class (Rectangle class isn't necessary, but easier).

MouseListener: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/events/mouselistener.html
MouseMotionListener: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/events/mousemotionlistener.html
Rectangle: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Rectangle.html

As for the second part of your question. How are the numbers "scrolling" through the array list?
What numbers are in the array list?

Just more information on what you want to achieve with the numbers in the arraylist and how this math game works would be beneficial.

[james12James12]

I just want the numbers to be different on each rectangle, so that when i get the correct answer it changes the numbers to the next question...but I would have no idea how to do it. :(

[sirlink99]

Try storing the displayed number in the Square and drawing that. When the correct answer is entered, then change that number, which will automatically update the number in the square.

Please give as much information as possible. We are not mindreaders. Explain what is happening, what the screen looks like, what you wish to achieve, commented code is preferrable. If this answer doesn't help you please post your Answer class so that I can get a feel as to how your program works.

[james12James12]

Okay. If you put my code into netbeans or a java program with the applet class and the square class. you can see what my code does. I just have 5 rectangles moving in the applet bouncing from one wall to the other. I have them all hard-coded the number 10 but I want them to have different numbers. I want to be able to click on one number(the correct one) and then change all the numbers on the rectangles and load a new equation at the top of the applet. I have an answer class but I was mucking around. It doesnt do anything in my code.

[sirlink99]

The way I would go about doing what you want is storing a number in each square and printing in in the square class. In the class where you have your mouselistener make a loadNextQuestion method. This method will change the question and the answers. It will go through each of the squares and update the number in them. You also need to store the correct answer somewhere. I noticed that if you have the super.paintComponents(g). The graphics flicker, and if you gon't they keep painting over. I will see if I can find a solution to this problem.

[james12James12]

Okay thankyou.. I am just learning at the moment..Im very average at java. Don't no how I would go about doing a change question method but ill have a play around.

nothing urgent about it, and if it were it'd be too late now anyway.
