How to change color automatically in processing.exe?

I currently learned about processing.exe. I've made a snake game in processing and I want to modify it. What I want is every time the snake eats food, the food that is moving randomly also gets given random colors.
here's my code:
snake s;
int grid = 15;
PVector food;
int r;
int g;
int b;
int warna;
void setup() {
size(600, 600);
s = new snake();
food = new PVector();
r = (int)random(255);
g = (int)random(255);
b = (int)random(255);
frameRate(15);
newFood();
}
void draw() {
background(0);
s.showScore();
s.display();
if (s.gameOver()) {
background(0);
textAlign(LEFT);
textSize(25);
fill(255);
text("Game Over", 10, 10, width - 20, 50);
noLoop();
}
if (s.eat(food)) {
newFood();
}
s.move();
fill (r, g, b);
rect (food.x, food.y, grid, grid);
}
void newFood() {
food.x = floor(random(width));
food.y = floor(random(height));
food.x = floor(food.x/grid) * grid;
food.y = floor(food.y/grid) * grid;
if (food.x == floor(random(width)) && food.y == floor(random(height))){
fill (r = (int)random(255), g = (int)random(255), b = (int)random(255));
rect( food.x, food.y, grid, grid);
}
}
void keyPressed() {
if (keyCode == UP) {
s.arah(0, -1);
} else if (keyCode == DOWN) {
s.arah(0, 1);
} else if (keyCode == RIGHT) {
s.arah(1, 0);
} else if (keyCode == LEFT) {
s.arah(-1, 0);
}
}
And this are the snake :
class snake {
float x = 0;
float y = 0;
float xspd = 1;
float yspd = 0;
int panjang = 0;
ArrayList<PVector> body = new ArrayList<PVector>();
snake() {
}
boolean eat(PVector pos) {
float d = dist(x, y, pos.x, pos.y);
if (d < 1) {
panjang++;
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
void arah(float x, float y) {
xspd = x;
yspd = y;
}
boolean gameOver() {
for (int i = 0; i < body.size(); i++) {
PVector pos = body.get(i);
float d = dist(x, y, pos.x, pos.y);
if (d < 1) {
panjang = 0;
body.clear();
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
void move() {
if (panjang > 0) {
if (panjang == body.size() && !body.isEmpty()) {
body.remove(0);
}
body.add(new PVector(x, y));
}
x = x + xspd*grid;
y = y + yspd*grid;
x = (x + width) % width;
y = (y + height) % height;
}
void display() {
noStroke();
fill(255);
for (PVector bagi : body) {
rect(bagi.x, bagi.y, grid, grid);
}
rect(x, y, grid, grid);
}
void showScore() {
textAlign(LEFT);
textSize(25);
fill(255);
text("Score: " + body.size(), 10, 10, width - 20, 50);
}
}
I've tried to change the color with declare r, g, b and assign a random color to it. But the food color doesn't seem to change every time the snake eats the food. Any suggestions on what I should do?

You're doing good so far. The only part you missed is that you want to change the food's color when you create some new food. So... you just have to take this part of the setup() method:
r = (int)random(255);
g = (int)random(255);
b = (int)random(255);
and move it in the newFood() method.
Hope this helps. Have fun!

Collisions in processing

My game is a shooting game for school. I need help on the collision between my bullet and my enemy. I have placed the bullet class with my player but for some reason it keeps on passing through it and not disappearing. The first example below shows the weapon class which is for the bullet and the one underneath that is the main.
class Weapons{
PImage bullet;
int speed;
int imageSize = 20;
float x = 20;
float y = 20;
float m;
int damage = 5;
int[] src = new int[2];
float[] dest = new float[2];
Weapons(int x, int y){
speed = 12;
dest[0] = mouseX;
dest[1] = mouseY;
src[0] = x;
src[1] = y;
m = (dest[1]-src[1]) / (dest[0]-src[0]);
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
bullet = loadImage("bullet.png");
bullet.resize(imageSize,imageSize);
}
boolean shooting(){
image(bullet, x, y); // if attack is true then renfer the image
x += speed;
y = (m * (x - dest[0])) + dest[1];
return (x > width || y > height);
}
boolean crash(Enemy enemies) {
//// return the result of checking if the plane has crashed into the bird
return abs(this.x-enemies.x) < bullet.width && abs(this.y - enemies.y) < bullet.height;
}
}
Maincharacter MC;
Goal G;
ArrayList<Enemy> enemies = new ArrayList<>();
ArrayList<Weapons> bullets = new ArrayList<>();
final int Playing = 0;
final int Finish = 1;
int gameMode = Playing;
//Enemy[] enemies = new Enemy[10];
PImage background; // creating background
int bgX = 0;
void setup(){
size(800,500);
MC = new Maincharacter(100,3);
//E1 = new Enemy();
G = new Goal(100,20);
background = loadImage("Battleground1.png");
background.resize(width*2,height); //set image to be same size as the canvas
for(int i = 0; i<2; i++){ // i represent how many enemy I want.
enemies.add(new Enemy((int)random(200,850), (int)random(0, height- 150) ) );
}
//for(int i=0 ; i < enemies.length ; i++){
//enemies[i] = new Enemy(); }
}
void draw(){
if(gameMode == Playing){
background();
MC.display();
G.display();
for(Enemy E : enemies){
E.update();
if (MC.crash(E)){
gameMode = Finish;
}
}
for(Weapons W: bullets){
W.update();
if(enemies.crash(W)){ // doesnt exist
gameMode = Finish;
}
}
// for(int i=0 ; i < enemies.length ; i++){
//enemies[i].update(); }
}}
void keyPressed(){
// creating the movemnt for my main charcter
MC.move();
if (keyCode == RIGHT || keyCode == 68 ){
MC.x += 10;
} else if (keyCode == UP || keyCode == 87) {
MC.y -=10;
} else if (keyCode == LEFT || keyCode == 65){
MC.x -= 10;
} else if(keyCode == DOWN || keyCode == 83 ){
MC.y += 10;
} else if (keyCode == 32) { // space bar
MC.attack_function(); // call attack function to create bullet object
}// make an attack
}
void mousePressed(){ // when mouse is pressed call attack function to create bullet object
MC.attack_function();
}
void background(){
//scrolling background image
image(background, bgX, height/2); //draw image to fill the canvas
//draw image again off the right of the canvas
image(background, bgX+background.width, height/2);
bgX -= 4;
if(bgX == -background.width ) //if first image completely off the canvas
{
bgX=0; //reset back to initial value background
}
}
What I want is to have bullet colliding with the enemies and then disappearing.

You are trying to call the method enemies.crash(W) but enemies is some collection of Enemy instances. Enemy does not provide the method crash as well.
You have to loop for each of your enemies all of your weapons and call the method crash on the Weapon instance giving the current enemy, something like:
for (Enemy enemy: enemies){
enemy.update();
if (mainCharacter.crash(enemy)) {
gameMode = Finish;
}
for (Weapons weapon: bullets) {
weapon.update();
if (weapon.crash(enemy)) {
gameMode = Finish;
// TODO: are you sure that killing an enemy finishes the game?
}
}
}
(Please note that I used mainCharacter instead of MC here for better readability.)

How can I fix my crash method/collision detection between my player and other objects?

Currently, I'm making a 2d java game that includes a tank at the top of the screen shooting the oncoming cars from below, I have made a crash method and collision detection which determines to stop the game when the tank crashes or enters the radius of the cars. However, sometimes it works early, sometimes late and other times it doesn't. My question is how can I fix it so that when the tank enters the radius of the car it stops the game with simple code that excludes vectors.
Below are my classes and code.
I'm using Java in Processing.

}

So I believe you want to fix the collision. If you have two circles and you want to see if they collide, you need to see if the radii collide. You can do this by seeing if the distance between the centers is greater than or less than the total of the two radii. Like this:
//returns whether or not two circles collide
//x1, y1, and r1 are for circle 1
boolean colliding(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2, int r1, int r2) {
return sqrt(pow(x1-x2, 2) + pow(y1-y2, 2)); <= r1 + r2
}
If you wish to use rectangular hitboxes instead, check this link.
I hope this helped, have a good day.

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.

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:

}
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().
