[solved]Rectangle

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

I already solved on how the game start with a SPACE KEY pressed and other issues I wanted to be.

And now I want a Rectangle to be dissolved after it collided with the ball.

And I tried to use the clearRec() but It didn`t work.

Am I using the right method?

#2

if this is in Java2D I would just have a conditional statment:


if(hit==false){
graphics.drawRect(x,y,sizeX,sizeY);
}

And whenever the ball hits the rectangle just set hit to true.

Hope this helps at all.

#3

If you want it to dissolve (I assume you mean fade) then you will have to draw the rectangle with lower and lower alpha once it collides with the ball.

#4

Thank you for the quick reply.

then in that case I will change fillRect() to drawRect()?

I will give it a try.

@Sir Longarmx
It will not fade, I want to erase/remove the rectangle when the ball hits the rectangle.

#5

I tried the drawRect() but the rectangle is hollow

so I use the code:

if (hit == false)
g.fillRect(x,y,w,h)

and it works.

Thanks Sir kingroka123

Instead of doing if(hit == true) you could just do if(hit) and if(!hit). Not a huge deal just good practice.

thanks for the info. sir :slight_smile:
