First we will define the constants used in our game.
private final int B_WIDTH = 300;
private final int B_HEIGHT = 300;
private final int DOT_SIZE = 10;
private final int ALL_DOTS = 900;
private final int RAND_POS = 29;
private final int DELAY = 140;
The B_WIDTH and B_HEIGHT constants determine the size of the board. The DOT_SIZE is the size of the apple and the dot of the snake. The ALL_DOTS constant defines the maximum number of possible dots on the board (900 = (300*300)/(10*10)). The RAND_POS constant is used to calculate a random position for an apple. The DELAY constant determines the speed of the game.
private final int x[] = new int[ALL_DOTS];
private final int y[] = new int[ALL_DOTS];
These two arrays store the x and y coordinates of all joints of a snake.
private void loadImages() {
ImageIcon iid = new ImageIcon("dot.png");
ball = iid.getImage();
ImageIcon iia = new ImageIcon("apple.png");
apple = iia.getImage();
ImageIcon iih = new ImageIcon("head.png");
head = iih.getImage();
}
In the loadImages() method we get the images for the game. The ImageIcon class is used for displaying PNG images.
private void initGame() {
dots = 3;
for (int z = 0; z < dots; z++) {
x[z] = 50 - z * 10;
y[z] = 50;
}
locateApple();
timer = new Timer(DELAY, this);
timer.start();
}
In the initGame() method we create the snake, randomly locate an apple on the board, and start the timer.
private void checkApple() {
if ((x[0] == apple_x) && (y[0] == apple_y)) {
dots++;
locateApple();
}
}
