I am an architecture student and I need to develop a simple game for a project, but I never coded. Here is what I need to do (in Java):
-I want three shapes of different color blue-yellow-red to move in the screen in a ‘‘DVD player’’ fashion.
-there are three behaviours that are each assigned to a color:
1)scale up/down;
2)shake more/less;
3)multiply/divide
-when the mouse touches a shape, the shape’s behavior is diminished (ex it scales down or shakes less) BUT it also amplifies the behaviour of another shape (ex a shape of another color is multiplied)
-when the mouse is clicked, the behaviors switch and are assigned to another color.
If somebody has an idea on how to write this it would save my life; I am currently trying to understand how to create classes of objects but I am a bit lost.
Drawing colored shapes is quite easy to do with Processing and generating a random number, which is fairly easy in Java and most mainstream languages, will help you to select a different shape from some collection of them. You are going to need to track the state of a particular shape though across the whole of the time the program runs, something which objects will help with.
