Re: Challenge: I need an animation loop outside of the paint method.
Why are you creating new values for the three variables if they are not being passed to the constructor?myX = Math.random() * 200 - 99;//star starts in a small square myY = Math.random() * 200 - 99;//in the center myLayer = Math.random() * 3;//random layer stars[index] = new Star();//fill array with stars
Re: Challenge: I need an animation loop outside of the paint method.
they do get in there though. the random numbers get to the constructor because I did not declare them private. I was having a problem using the random in the constructor because my star.class was put together a little unorthodox. Random works in there now.
Re: Challenge: I need an animation loop outside of the paint method.
How is that? Is it some kind of magic?they do get in there though
What is the purpose of assigning values to the three variables if they are not being used?
Re: Challenge: I need an animation loop outside of the paint method.
It did work, how ever my code has been polished and the random generators are now in the constructor. Infact new values are no longer created like that, myX, myY, ect only get values set to them during a call to get methods. thank you for all your help, my StarScape is now worthy to be put in my portfolio.
