I'm making a breakout game. I have everything working, but I need to make power-ups. small balls that fall from the bricks once they've been hit, and make the platform smaller or larger depending on whether they are red (bad) or green (good). Any help here would be nice. My Brick class code is posted below.
import greenfoot.*; // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, and Greenfoot)
import java.awt.Color;
/**
* A brick is a filled rectangle that doesn't do
* anything when it gets the act message.
*
* @author Barb Ericson, Georgia Tech
* @version 1.0, April 6, 2007
*/
public class Brick extends Actor
{
/** the width of the brick */
private int width = 36;
/** the height of the brick */
private int height = 8;
/** the color of the brick */
private Color color;
/**
* Constructor that takes the color for the brick
* @param theColor the color to use for this brick
*/
public Brick(Color theColor)
{
color = theColor;
updateImage();
}
/**
* Constructor that takes the width, height, and color for this
* brick.
*/
public Brick(int theWidth, int theHeight, Color theColor)
{
width = theWidth;
height = theHeight;
color = theColor;
updateImage();
}
/**
* Method to act during a time step.
*/
public void act()
{}
/**
* Method to create the image and set it for this brick.
* If you change the width, height, or color, invoke this
* method.
*/
public void updateImage()
{
GreenfootImage image = new GreenfootImage(width,height);
image.setColor(this.color);
image.fillRect(0,0,width,height);
setImage(image);
}
}
