I have to make a processing game, I got my game to fully work but I want to add some motion into it I want to have the chips when clicked to start on the top of the board and drop down to the bottom. Please help me!!!

Please edit your post and wrap your code with
[code=java]
<YOUR CODE HERE>
[/code]
to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

The posted code is missing some parts and will not compile to allow execution for testing.

The posted code is missing some parts and will not compile to allow execution for testing.

Also the posted code is not properly formatted. All statements should not start in the first column. Nested statements should be indented.

**newmanj8** · February 26th, 2013, 12:06 PM

The program that I am using is called Processing which is a little different then your standard java coding with eclipse.

**Norm** · February 26th, 2013, 12:11 PM

Without fully defined classes that compile without errors, its not possible to test the program.

BTW I don't use eclipse.

**newmanj8** · February 26th, 2013, 12:16 PM

The code is all one class, which makes up the game which is fully functional, I just wanted help with putting movement in and rather then clicking on the board and having the chip appear I wanted them to have motion and have them drop to the bottom of the board.

Connect Four- OpenProcessing

**Norm** · February 26th, 2013, 12:57 PM

If you can't make and post a complete program that compiles, executes and shows the problem, there is no way to test the program and see what it does.
