Cannot get sprite to collide with map images (java)

I am creating a 2D game which the zombie moves with WASD keys and is supposed to collide with the walls and not enter them, as well as collide with the brains and removes them. Every type of code I have used does not create collision. I am using a zombie sprite sheet i found on google as well as 2 backgroundless images for walls and brains.
After I figure out collision, I then then to implement a autorun sequence to where it bounces around like a screensaver and does the same thing just automatically until all brains are collected.
The EZ is just a library that is utilized by UH Manoa, that can be found here: EZ Graphics

EZElement provides a getBounds property, which returns a java.awt.Shape object; why is this important? Because the Java 2D Graphics API already provides some hit detection.
From this, we then need to determine the player shape's intersection with any other shapes. To do this, we need to wrap both shapes in a Area and use it to make the final determinations.
Area meArea = new Area(me.getBounds());
Area checkArea = new Area(elementToCheck.getBounds());
checkArea(meArea);
if (!checkArea.isEmpty()) {
//... We have collision
}
Obviously, this should all be wrapped up in some kind of method to handle the core functionality, but you could have a helper method which simply took two EZElements and return true/false if the collide
For brevity and testing, I stripped back your example, but the basic idea should continue to work

I would recommend that you give each entity (and block/tile) a collision box, then test if a specific entity's bounding box collided with another entity's bounding box, then make it so that the entities can't move in that direction until there isn't a bounding box in a direction, if that made any since.
Do the same for testing for the brains, though I recommend making an ArrayList of brains, and removing specific ones if that brain had been touched.

How to add an image into a hexagon in a hexagonal grid?

I have a problem with a hexagonal grid. I found this code you can see below on Internet, so it's not mine. There are two public classes: hexgame which generates the grid and hexmech which draws and fills every single hexagon. What I'd like to do is basically insert an image into a specific hexagon, but I don't know how to code this and in which part of the classes I should put it. Am I thinking the wrong way?
Thank you very much for your help!

In your implementation of paintComponent(), invoke setClip() with a suitable Shape, such as Polygon. You can size and translate the Polygon to match the destination hexagon using the createTransformedShape() method of AffineTransform. Use the coordinates of the polygon's boundary as the basis for the coordinates used in your call to drawImage(). A related example using Ellipse2D is shown here.

Java - Moving Randomly Generated Tilemap

Not sure if there is way to container the tiles in a rectangle and then move the rectangle. Any help would be much appreciated.

I dont really know what you mean by moving the tiles in a rectangle but if you just simply want to move all of them in a certain direction you could use g.translate(dx, dY) before you draw them.
Or if the terrain doesnt change you could draw them on an image at the beginning and then draw the image each frame at diffrent positions.

I have been working on a Breakout game and have just about everything done except for the brick collision. The ball bounces of the wall and paddle fine, but when it comes to the brick it goes straight through them.

I've begin running over your code, quite frankly can't be bothered trying to figure out your logic, but what I believe you're trying to deduce is if the brick "contains" the ball, rather then if the ball intersects with the brick.
You don't care how much of the ball or brick are intersecting, only if the they do...for example...
private void checkBrick() {
int tx = ball.getX();
int ty = ball.getY();
int tw = ball.getR();
int th = ball.getR();
tw += tx;
th += ty;
for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
int tempX, tempY, tempW, tempH;
tempX = bX[i];
tempY = bY[i];
tempW = bW[i];
tempH = bH[i];
int rw = tempW + tempX;
int rh = tempH + tempY;
// overflow || intersect
if ((rw < tempX || rw > tx) &&
(rh < tempY || rh > ty) &&
(tw < tx || tw > tempX) &&
(th < ty || th > tempY)) {
System.out.println("Hit");
}
}
}
Now, I stole this from Rectangle#intersects
Basically, if you used the geometry class from the 2D Graphics API, you could reduce this down to...
private void checkBrick() {
Rectangle b = new Rectangle(ball.getX(), ball.getY(), ball.getR(), ball.getR());
for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
int tempX, tempY, tempW, tempH;
tempX = bX[i];
tempY = bY[i];
tempW = bW[i];
tempH = bH[i];
Rectangle brick = new Rectangle(tempX, tempY, tempW, tempH);
System.out.println("brick = " + brick);
if (b.intersects(brick)) {
System.out.println("Break");
}
}
}
And, yes, I did actually run your code

The problem is that the method checkBrick() is not changing anything, it is just printing if the ball has a collision with the brick.
You may want to change the Ball velocity, as you did within checkWall() and checkPaddle().
private void checkBrick() {
for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
...
if (...) {
ball.setVX(...); // Add these lines setting the correct values
ball.setVY(...);
}
}
}
You may also want to check if your if-conditions are correct, and do what you expected.

Assuming tempH is positive,
((ball.getY() + ball.getR()) > (tempY + tempH)
&& (ball.getY() + ball.getR()) <= tempY)
can't ever be true. The > needs to be < and the <= needs to be >=.
Additionally, you'll need to take some kind of action if the brick is hit, rather than just printing out the fact. Sorry, I'm not sure what's supposed to happen - does the brick disappear? Or the ball bounce? Or both?

Second answer (in addition to other answer which I believe is ALSO a problem), your logic is asking if the ball is contained within a brick, but when you create the ball its radius is greater than the height of a brick, so even correcting that logic won't fix the problem.
You should refactor your code to make it read out like natural language, this would help a lot with debugging (or writing less bugs in the first place!) i.e.
in brick class:
public int bottom()
{
return y;
}
public int top()
{
return y + h;
}
in ball class:
public int bottom()
{
return y - r;
}
public int top() {
return y + r;
}
then in main class:
private boolean withinY(brick) {
return (ball.bottom => brick.bottom() && ball.top =< brick.top());
}
then the logic reads nicer (psuedo):
foreach brick in wall {
if (ball.withinY(brick) and ball.withinX(brick))
BAM!!
}

You're checking if the ball is between the left and right side of the brick, but then checking if the ball is both above AND below the brick, because you've got your greater than and less than's mixed up. Also the center of the ball needs to be subtracted from it's Y position.
if ((ball.getY() + ball.getR()) **>** (tempY + tempH) &&
(ball.getY() **+** ball.getR()) **<=** tempY)
could be
if ((ball.getY() + ball.getR()) < (tempY + tempH) &&
(ball.getY() - ball.getR()) >= tempY)
but I'd suggest finding if the top of the ball is between the top and bottom of the brick, OR if the bottom of the ball is between the top and bottom of the brick:
if (((ball.getY() + ball.getR()) < (tempY + tempH) && (ball.getY() - ball.getR()) >= tempY)) ||
((ball.getY() - ball.getR()) < (tempY + tempH) && (ball.getY() - ball.getR()) >= tempY))) {
CODE
}
And use similar logic for finding between left and right sides of the brick

Eclipse: Java, no main method found

I recently took all my code a manually imported it into an eclipse project from BlueJ, I then got use to the settings up "Run Configurations", finally thinking I was home free. Then I ran the code, and I got this error
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
Exception in thread "main"
so I figured I had to add a main method (I never had to do this in BlueJ, why?). So I did that just called the constructor method (in BlueJ I would just create a new object and the JFrame would show). So I did that, same error. After trying different things (such as moving the code in the constructor to a different method etc.). I just put this in for the main method:
public void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Hello, this is main why won't Java find this.");
}
After that I still got the same error, so I then decided to add it to all my classes to make sure it wasn't using another class as the main class. Still same error, so I come to you wondering if any of you have encountered this problem. Also I did search Google and all I found was problems with private classes etc and sense all my classes are public (hey I come from Python :) ). I knew that wasn't the problem. Help Please :)

This is my main method code

You forgot static:
public static void main(String[] args)
But in order to really start your application, you should launch it from that method, not merely have it. Here is how to start it:
public static void main(String[] args) {
javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
AppFrame frame = new AppFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}
});
}
It's important to note the EXIT_ON_CLOSE - this will make the JVM exit when you press the X button. Otherwise your application will continue running, and you might even not notice.

Make main static.
