Random boxes and circles using array(s)

Processing Coding Questions

Here is my incomplete attempt to demonstrate how to implement coins. For what you want to do, you should consider learning OOP as it will allow you to track related variables together under an abstraction called an object. The main concept you want to use from oop in this case would be encapsulation. Before you try to figure out ArrayList, you need to isolate and understand the Coin class. I have added an abstract class as it can be used to implement your bomb objects in your game as well, as I demonstrated below. Notice the bomb class is almost fully implemented, but some work still needs to be done there.

Finally, notice that the coins show in the wrong place. It is an easy fix and it will be your task to complete it.

I strongly recommend you to visit this guide about objects as it will resolve most of your immediate questions about the code below.
