Tuesday - Wednesday (3/21/17 - 3/22/17)
Agenda:
- Demo missing assignments
- Convert Project: Pong (Mouse vs Keyboard) to Java AND use arrays so that there are multiple balls on the screen
- You must change the gameplay! If a ball passes a player's paddle, then give that person a point. When there are no more balls on the screen, then the player with fewer points wins.
- Note: If you do not have the Python code, then just get a copy from somebody who does
- key is a char, so you need to use single quotes
- hit() function must be edited to accept an input parameter i
- Convert Animation: Gravity Ball with Mouse Launcher to Java AND use arrays so that there are multiple balls (of different sizes) launched
- Note: If you do not have the Python code, then just get a copy from somebody who does
- Challenge: Give each ball a different radius. Correlate the initial energy for each particular ball to the radius
