Parabolas within bounds - java

I have a JPanel 200x200.
I trying to create a function that will generate random parabola's with the bounds of the JPanel, with a constraint that the height can't be lower than a 100 (middle of the screen), I basically want to move a shape around these parabolas
Here is some code I'm using to get started:
Random random = new Random(); int y; int x;
int size = random.nextInt(10);
int translation = random.nextInt(50);
int height = random.nextInt(100) - 200; //between 100 and 200
//Parabola functions : y = ((x/7 - 30))^2
// x and y are coordiates of where the shape is drawn
while(y != 200){
y = (float)Math.pow((float)xloc / size - translation ,2) + height;
x++;
}
I've been researching about FlatteningPathIterator but not too sure how to use them. my function
y = (float)Math.pow((float)xloc / size - translation ,2) + height;`
prints parabola's sometimes outside the bounds, how would i edit it to print parabola's inside the bounds?


There is a Java Swing shape generator for this called Quad2dCurve. The getPathIterator call gives you an enumerator for points on the curve.
Here is some example code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import java.util.Random;
import javax.swing.*;
final class TestCanvas extends JComponent {
int size = 200;
int n = 10;
float[] ph = new float[n];
float[] pw = new float[n];
float[] px = new float[n];
Random gen = new Random();
TestCanvas() {
makeRandomParabolas();
setFocusable(true);
addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
#Override
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
makeRandomParabolas();
repaint();
float [] coords = new float [6];
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
PathIterator pi = getQuadCurve(i).getPathIterator(null, 0.1);
System.out.print(i + ":");
while (!pi.isDone()) {
switch (pi.currentSegment(coords)) {
case PathIterator.SEG_MOVETO:
System.out.print(" move to");
break;
case PathIterator.SEG_LINETO:
System.out.print(" line to");
break;
default:
System.out.print(" unexpected");
break;
}
System.out.println(" (" + coords[0] + "," + coords[1]+")");
pi.next();
}
System.out.println();
}
}
});
}
QuadCurve2D.Float getQuadCurve(int i) {
return new QuadCurve2D.Float(px[i] - pw[i], size,
px[i], size - (2 * ph[i]),
px[i] + pw[i], size);
}
void makeRandomParabolas() {
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
float x = 0.2f + 0.6f * gen.nextFloat();
px[i] = size * x;
pw[i] = size * (Math.min(x, 1 - x) * gen.nextFloat());
ph[i] = size * (0.5f + 0.5f * gen.nextFloat());
}
}
#Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g0) {
Graphics2D g = (Graphics2D) g0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
g.draw(getQuadCurve(i));
}
}
}
public class Main extends JFrame {
public Main() {
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
getContentPane().add(new TestCanvas());
getContentPane().setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200, 200));
pack();
}

My Mandelbrot set doesn't generate. What's wrong with my equation?

//Generator class
public class Generator {
double jump;
double sizeModifier;
int iterationRate,range;
ComplexNumber c;
public Generator(double jump) {
this.jump=jump;
this.sizeModifier=40;
this.iterationRate=10;
this.range=100;
c=new ComplexNumber();
}
public void generateSet(){
DrawSet ds = new DrawSet();
int ticker=0;
for(double i=-2*range;i<=range;i+=jump){
for(double j=-2*range;j<=range;j+=jump){
c= new ComplexNumber((i/range),(j/range));
double fz=c.square().mod()+c.mod();
//System.out.println("c mod is: "+c.mod());
//System.out.println("fz is: "+fz);
if (fz < 2) {
for(int k=0;k<=iterationRate;k++) {
//System.out.println("nc:"+nc);
ticker++;
//System.out.println("ticker:"+ticker);
if(ticker==iterationRate) {
ds.addPoint(i + 450, j + 450);
}
if(fz>=2){
break;
}
else {
fz = Math.pow(fz, 2) + 1;
}
}
}
ticker=0;
}
}
}
//Drawset class
public class DrawSet extends JPanel {
private ArrayList<Point> Points;
private ArrayList<Point> nPoints;
GraphicWindow gw;
public DrawSet(){
this.Points=new ArrayList<>();
this.nPoints=new ArrayList<>();
gw = new GraphicWindow(1000,1000);
gw.add(this);
}
public void addPoint(double x,double y){
int ix=(int)x;
int iy=(int)y;
//int iwidth=(int)width*sizeModifier;
//int iheight=(int)height*sizeModifier;
Point a=new Point(ix,iy);
Points.add(a);
//System.out.println(Points.size());
}
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
int pointSize = 1;
super.paintComponents(g);
System.out.println(Points.size());
for (int i = 0; i < Points.size(); i++) {
g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
g.drawOval((int) Points.get(i).getX(), (int) Points.get(i).getY(), pointSize, pointSize);
}
}
The basic problem is that fz is never <2 after just 10 iterations, so no points are drawn. Why is this? What equation should I be implementing?
I am using a complex number to generate the value. The class which I use can be seen here:
https://github.com/abdulfatir/jcomplexnumber/
(or on the stack overflow forum Does Java have a class for complex numbers? by Mr Abdul Fatir)

Okay, observationally
Generator should not be creating a new instance of DrawSet
DrawSet should not be creating a new instance of GraphicWindow
These are the responsibilities of these classes or methods. This is highly coupling your code and generating side effects.
Instead, generate should pass back the points it creates and these should then be applied in what ever way you want, Generator shouldn't care.
Because I don't have access to your full code, I've just hacked together a random series of points instead to illustrate the point.

I've also made the pointSize bigger, so you can actually see the results, although I'd consider filling the points.
If the Generator is takes a long time to perform its calculations, you might consider using a SwingWorker to perform the operation. This will allow to offload the operation to seperate thread and not block the main UI thread. You can then use the SwingWorker to either feed back each individual point as it's calculated or all the points when the whole generation is done, back to the main UI thread in a safe manner.
See Worker Threads and SwingWorker for more details
Why is this?
Swing is lazy. It won't make repaints or updates to the UI unless it thinks it needs to. So, if you change some state the UI is depending on, you need to nudge Swing to encourage it to make a new paint pass. In the simplest terms, this means calling repaint on the component which is has changed

Brick breaker brick color

I am trying to have each brick in my game have a random color, however when I try to do this the whole set of bricks become the same color. How do I make each individual brick a random color? Any help is appreciated.

I'd throw that code out and start over as you've got both program logic and repaints within your painting methods, neither of which will help you, and your code appears to be one big huge "God" class, all of which will leave you with code that's a horrific nightmare to debug. Recommendations:
Create at least two separate JPanels to display your program with, a GamePanel and a MenuPanel.
Swap these JPanels using a CardLayout.
Do all graphics within a JPanel's paintComponent method and not within a JFrame's or JApplet's paint method.
Don't forget to call the super's painting method, the same method as your override within your override. This is to clean up any dirty pixels.
Separate your program logic from your GUI
This means that you should have a logical non-GUI representation of a single Brick class as well as a collection of these non-GUI bricks.
You can always give your Brick class a Color field, one that the view or gui uses to paint it with.
Create a game-loop, one that you can control, one that doesn't involve calling repaint() within a painting method, since this leads to a completely uncontrollable loop.
Favor use of Key Bindings over KeyListeners.
Try to avoid use of "magic" numbers, such as hard-coding your brick width and spacing in the class itself. Better to use constants as this too makes debugging and enhancing much easier.
For example, some code that's just to demonstrate showing random colors:

Color color = Color.getHSBColor(hue, saturation, brightness);
Brick brick = new Brick(x, y, color); // create a new Brick with this Color
brickList.add(brick);
x += X_SPACING + Brick.WIDTH;
}
y += Y_SPACING + Brick.HEIGHT;
}
}
// returns null if no collision
public Brick collision(Point p) {
for (Brick brick : brickList) {
if (brick.contains(p)) {
return brick;
}
}
return null;
}
#Override
public Iterator<Brick> iterator() {
return brickList.iterator();
}
public boolean remove(Brick brick) {
// because Brick implements equals and hashCode, we can do this
return brickList.remove(brick);
}
}
Note that I like using Color's static getHSBColor(float h, float s, float b) method for creating random Colors as this helps me to avoid creating dull Colors, since I can guarantee that the saturation and brightness are above minimum values. All three parameters must be float values between 0f and 1.0f
float hue = random.nextFloat();
float saturation = MIN_SAT + random.nextFloat() * (1f - MIN_SAT);
float brightness = MIN_SAT + random.nextFloat() * (1f - MIN_SAT);
Color color = Color.getHSBColor(hue, saturation, brightness);

Your code has quite a lot of issues, which #HovercaftFullOfEels answer already points out.
As for why your code doesn't work:
for (int i = 0; i < Brick.length; i++)
{
if (Brick[i] != null)
{
Color mycolor=new Color(100,0,0);
art.setColor(mycolor);
art.fill3DRect(Brick[i].x, Brick[i].y, Brick[i].width,
Brick[i].height, true);
}
}
This is the part that renders the bricks. You never create a random-number, but use the same Color for each brick (new Color(100, 0, 0);). Instead introduce a new variable into Brick that specifies the color of each brick and is initialized once with a random color.
The Brick-class would afterwards look like this:
public class Brick{
public int x;
public int y;
...
public Color color;
...
}
The ... are just placeholders for other code that may be content of the class. Regarding public access of Class-variables: Encapsulation is a fundamental concept of OOP and should be used (on encapsulation). E.g. instead of giving direct access to Brick.x consider introducing a method Brick#getX().

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.

Determine if circles intersect

I am working on a project where I have to draw 20 circles with random starting points and random sizes. Then I have to determine if any of the circles intersect. If a circle intersects with another, I have to color that circle green. And if the circle does not intersect with another, the color needs to be red. I have all of the code... I think... but when I run it, I still get some circles that should be green, but are red instead. Here is my code. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

public class IntersectingCircles extends JPanel

In the inside for loop, you are only comparing circles of i index with circles with h index, but only those with i < h, because of the condition:
for (int h = 0; h < 20; h++)
{
if(i < h)
{
...
So, instead you should compare every i circle with every h circle, except if they are the same. You want instead:
for (int h = 0; h < 20; h++)
{
if(i != h) //note the change here
{

Okay I tried a lot of stuff and discovered that even though the game works when I debug Game.java and it doesn't work when I run it through Asteroids.java. I found that img = createIimg = createImage(width, height); and g = img.getGraphics(); are returning null and that GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless() is returning true. How should I change my to fix this issue?
Error
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

Java Result: 1

You have the var "game" null, and you tried to call the method "run" on this var (game.run); obviously if "game" is null, you can't get the method, and throws nullpointer exception.
Game game=new Game();
that's all you need. Your final code is:
Game game = new Game();//<----- here is the change
public static void main(String[] args){
new Asteroids ().game.run ();
}

This thing is null.
new Asteroids ().game
That's why you get this NullPointerException when you call run on it.

Game game = null;
public static void main(String[] args){
new Asteroids ().game.run ();
}
The prgram is running from the main method. game is null.
Maybe you should have
Game game = new Game(); // instead of null

Try it may be help
Game game = null;
public static void main(String[] args){
If( Asteroids ().game != null ){
new Asteroids ().game.run ();
}
}
