Java - Determining if two Ellipses intersect

I'm creating a 2D topdown shooter game with Java Swing in which I want circular hitboxes for my player and enemies as well as projectiles. For hit detection I need to figure out if there is an intersection between a projtile and a Sprite (player or enemy). My issue is that Ellipse2D's intersect function (that takes a position a width and height) creates a Rectangle out of the arguments. In its description it advises using Area for high precision and I was hoping it had an intersect function for any shape but that also casts its argument to a Rectangle.
Here's the jist of my Sprite object:
public class Sprite {
protected float worldX;
protected float worldY;
protected float drawX;
protected float drawY;
protected int width;
protected int height;
protected Image image;
...
}
In essence I'm storing their x and y coordinates as well as their width and height.(drawX and drawY are only used for rendering)
Is there a build-in method (preferably in Swing) to intersect Ellipses with other shapes (specifically other Ellipses and Rectangles) or is there no better option then implementing these by hand?

With a simple modification to the answer form Detecting collision of two sprites that can rotate

How can I darken a rectangular part of an image in Java?

The code creates a JFrame with a JPanel onto which it draws an image loaded from a file. The objective is to make a rectangular area of the picture, such as for example the red square, appear darker than the rest. I'm assuming this may involve taking a subimage of the image, looping through an array of pixels, scaling them, and then painting that subimage onto the JPanel, but I don't know how to do this using the Java API.
package SpriteEditor_Tests;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ImageTestApp extends JFrame
{
public BufferedImage image;
int x1 = 50;
int x2 = 100;
int y1 = 50;
int y2 = 100;
public static void main (String [] args)
{
new ImageTestApp();
}
public ImageTestApp()
{
setTitle("Image Test App");
try
{
image = ImageIO.read(new File("C:/Users/Paul/Desktop/derp.png"));
}
catch (IOException io)
{
System.out.println("IO caught"); System.exit(0);
}
setSize(500,500);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true);
add(new ImageDisplay());
}
class ImageDisplay extends JPanel
{
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
g.drawImage(image, -100, -100, getWidth(), getHeight(), Color.RED, null);
g.setColor(Color.RED);
g.drawRect(x1, y1, Math.abs(x2 - x1), Math.abs(y2 - y1));
}
}
}

A "simple" solution would be to just create a new instance of Color with the desired alpha applied to it and fill the area you want darkened.
This is great if you have a color you want to use, but when I want to use a predefined color, it's not as simple. Instead, I prefer to use an AlphaComposite as it gives me some advantages.
import java.awt.AlphaComposite;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Test();
}
public Test() {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.add(new TestPane());
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
});
}
public class TestPane extends JPanel {
private BufferedImage background;
public TestPane() {
try {
background = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("/images/background.jpg"));
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
if (background == null) {
return new Dimension(200, 200);
}
return new Dimension(background.getWidth(), background.getHeight());
}
#Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
if (background == null) {
return;
}
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g.create();
g2d.drawImage(background, 0, 0, this);
int x = (getWidth() - 100) / 2;
int y = (getHeight() - 100) / 2;
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(x, y, 200, 200);
g2d.setComposite(AlphaComposite.getInstance(AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER, 0.5f));
g2d.fill(rect);
g2d.dispose();
g2d = (Graphics2D) g.create();
g2d.setColor(Color.RED);
g2d.drawRect(x, y, 200, 200);
g2d.dispose();
}
}
}
Now, if want to generate a new image with the are darkened, you can follow the same basic concept, but instead of painting to the components Graphics context, you'd paint directly to the BufferedImages Graphics content. This is the wonderful power of the abstract nature of the Graphics API.
Don't forget, when you override a method, you are obliged to either over take ALL of its responsibilities or call its super implementation.
paintComponent does some basic, but important work and you should make sure to call super.paintComponent before you start performing your custom painting, this will just reduce any possibility of issues.
Darken each pixel individually
Okay, if, instead, you want to darken each pixel in the rectangle individually, this becomes a "little" more complicated, but not hard.
After a lot of time and testing, I settled on using the follow algorithm to darken a given color. This will push the color towards "black" the more you darken it, which some algorithms don't do.
public static Color darken(Color color, double fraction) {
int red = (int) Math.round(Math.max(0, color.getRed() - 255 * fraction));
int green = (int) Math.round(Math.max(0, color.getGreen() - 255 * fraction));
int blue = (int) Math.round(Math.max(0, color.getBlue() - 255 * fraction));
int alpha = color.getAlpha();
return new Color(red, green, blue, alpha);
}
Then, all you have to do is get the the color of the pixel, darken it and reapply.
For this example, I actually use a separate sub image, but you can do it directly to the parent image
BufferedImage subImage = background.getSubimage(x, y, 200, 200);
for (int row = 0; row < subImage.getHeight(); row++) {
for (int col = 0; col < subImage.getWidth(); col++) {
int packedPixel = subImage.getRGB(col, row);
Color color = new Color(packedPixel, true);
color = darken(color, 0.5);
subImage.setRGB(col, row, color.getRGB());
}
}
Now, before someone jumps down my throat, no, this is not the most performant approach, but it gets over messing about with "packed" pixel values (because I can never remember how to unpack those :P) and most of my API code is based around the use of Color anyway

Java2D: how to draw the slice of a circle with GeneralPath

I want to create a wheel of fortune game for practice.
I created the wheel slices using GeneralPath, but I'm having issues finding out what is supposed to be the beizer point to have a perfect circle. Take a look at the screenshot and you'll see the issue.
I don't know the formula I should use to get the proper value, now I'm basically just guessing with:
path.moveTo(x, y); // the center
this.firstPointX = x + wSize * Math.cos(angle*i);
this.firstPointY = y + wSize * Math.sin(angle*i);
path.lineTo(this.firstPointX, this.firstPointY);
this.secondPointX = x + wSize * Math.cos(angle*(i+1));
this.secondPointY = y + wSize * Math.sin(angle*(i+1));
path.moveTo(x, y); // back to the center
path.lineTo(this.secondPointX, this.secondPointY);
this.beizerX = x + (THIS IS THE VALUE I NEED) * Math.cos((angle*i+angle/2));
this.beizerY = y + (THIS IS THE VALUE I NEED) * Math.sin((angle*i+angle/2));
path.curveTo(this.secondPointX, this.secondPointY, this.beizerX, this.beizerY, this.firstPointX, this.firstPointY);
path.closePath();

Why not just use Arc2D or simply draw a circle and 6 lines? Then the basic problem is how to determine two points on a circle (start point and end point, which is 180 degrees away)

I also would like to fill the single slices with gradients and animate indipendently with rotations and such
Then you can't use a single Path, as it's treated as a single graphical element, you will need to use individual slices, so I would highly recommend using Arc2D as it would be simple to maintain a list of them and simply transform the Graphics context as needed

I resurrect an ancient topic so I really sorry about that. )
But i faced a similar problem recently and here is my solution.
Here's a picture described my decision
And finally my code (variables names are got from the topicstarter's post).
// x, y - center;
// wSize - radius of the circle
// angle = 2 * Math.PI / (number_of_sectors) - sector angle
// before the cycle
double bezierAngle = Math.atan(Math.tan(angle/4) * 4/3);
double bezierRadius = wSize / Math.cos(bezierAngle);
// inside the cycle
path.moveTo(x, y); // center
firstPointX = x + wSize * Math.cos(angle*i);
firstPointY = y + wSize * Math.sin(angle*i);
path.lineTo(firstPointX, firstPointY);
firstBezierX = x + bezierRadius * Math.cos(angle*i + bezierAngle);
firstBezierY = y + bezierRadius * Math.sin(angle*i + bezierAngle);
secondBezierX = x + bezierRadius * Math.cos(angle*(i+1) - bezierAngle);
secondBezierY = y + bezierRadius * Math.sin(angle*(i+1) - bezierAngle);
secondPointX = x + wSize * Math.cos(angle*(i+1));
secondPointY = y + wSize * Math.sin(angle*(i+1));
path.curveTo(firstBezierX, firstBezierY, secondBezierX, secondBezierY, secondPointX, secondPointY);
path.lineTo(x, y); // back to the center
path.closePath();

Java make a directed line and make it move

I want to make a directed line and make it move. I am able to make a directed line and move the line but the arrow get displaced while i move the line
This is my paint method
Line2D.Double line = new Line2D.Double(startX, startY, endX, endY);
g2d.draw(line);
tx.setToIdentity();
double angle = Math.atan2(line.y2 - line.y1, line.x2 - line.x1);
tx.translate(line.x2, line.y2);
tx.rotate((angle - Math.PI / 2d));
Graphics2D gClone = (Graphics2D) g2d.create();
gClone.setTransform(tx);
Polygon arrowHead = new Polygon();
arrowHead.addPoint(0, 15);
arrowHead.addPoint(-15, -15);
arrowHead.addPoint(15, -15);
Area area = new Arear(arrowHead );
Area lineArea = new Area(line);
lineArea.subtract(area);
gClone.fill(area);
gClone.dispose();
and i have change the value of startx and start y at mouse pressedd
and endx and enny at mouse drag

This is a basic example that demonstrates the use of a Path2D, to define a custom shape and an AffineTransformation to transform the shape.
This example will cause the arrow to point towards the mouse as it moves over the panel

Update with example two
Basically, this uses the PointyThing as the arrow head only, and draws the line separately.

Drawing slices of a circle in java?

I want to represent a timer by having a filled circle which is fully drawn over the course of the timer by segment. I.e. If the circle is filled in every 1 second for a timer of 4 seconds the first will show a quarter of a circle then a half then three-quarters and finally a full circle.
Is there a way to draw these slices of a circle in java? I've looked into arbitrary shapes in the graphics API but not sure if this is the right way to go or if there is something written into the language which can easily produce these type of shapes?
Any help much appreciated.

Yes, it's possible. Yes, Graphics2D has the ability to do this for you
Take a look at Drawing Geometric Primitives (look for the Arc2D section).
To "animate" the progress, it would probably be easiest to use a javax.swing.Timer, but your requirements might require you to use a SwingWorker instead. Have a look at Currency in Swing and How to use Swing Timers for more information.
The following example is relatively simple. It assumes a progress of 0-100% and generates a arc as required. It would be a simple matter of changing the color of the Graphics2D context and using draw(Shape) to draw an out line of the circle should you want one.
