Thread: Brick Breaker

Hey, I'm making a brick breaker game and I need some help.
I need to know how to do the brick class..
any help ?

I wrote this class.. can you give me more leads about what to do ?
Bricks:

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Paint;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
 
public class Brick {
	private int x;
	private int y;
	protected Color color;
 
	public Brick (int x, int y){
		this.x=x;
		this.y=y;
	}
 
	public void setColor (Color newColor)
	{ color = newColor;	}
 
	public void Paint (Graphics g)
	{
		g.fillRect(x, y, 35, 45);
		g.setColor(color); 
 
	}
 
}

I need to paint the breaks in the top of the screen (4-5 lines of breaks).

I cant find a way to do that and for some reason I cant change the color of the bricks..

I don't know what to do, I tried to paint it with matrix but I cant..
look what I tried:
I wrote this in the main page

public void paintBricks(){
		Graphics g;
		int i=80,j=50,k,l;
		Brick[][] brickArr = new Brick[20][3];
		for(k=0;k<=20;k++){
			for(l=0;l<=3;l++){
				brickArr[k][l]=aBrick.Paint(g, i, j);
			}
		}
	}

Ok , this is what I've done, I need to paint 4-5 lines of bricks in the top of the screen.
My classes so far are:

1. Ball:

//
//	general purpose reusable bouncing ball abstraction
//	Described in Chapter 4 of
//	Understanding Object-Oriented Programming with Java

import java.awt.*;
 
public class Ball {
	protected Rectangle location;
	protected double dx;
	protected double dy;
	protected Color color;
 
	public Ball (int x, int y, int r)
	{
		location = new Rectangle(x-r, y-r, 2*r, 2*r);
		dx = 0;
		dy = 0;
		color = Color.blue;
	}
 
		// functions that set attributes
	public void setColor (Color newColor)
				{ color = newColor;	}
 
	public void setMotion (double ndx, double ndy)
				{ dx = ndx; dy = ndy; }
 
		// functions that access attributes of ball
	public int radius ()
				{ return location.width / 2; }
 
	public int x ()
				{ return location.x + radius(); }
 
	public int y ()
				{ return location.y + radius(); }
 
	public double xMotion ()
				{ return dx; }
 
	public double yMotion ()
				{ return dy; }
 
	public Rectangle region () { return location; }
 
		// functions that change attributes of ball
	public void moveTo (int x, int y)
				{ location.setLocation(x, y); }
 
	public void move ()
				{ location.translate ((int) dx, (int) dy); }
 
	public void paint (Graphics g)
	{
		g.setColor (color);
		g.fillOval (location.x, location.y, location.width, location.height);
	}
}

2. Matka:

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Paint;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
 
 
public class matka extends Thread {
	private int x;
	private int y;
	protected Color color;
 
	public matka (int x, int y)
	{
		this.x=x;
		this.y=y;
	}
 
	public void setColor (Color newColor)
	{ color = newColor;	}
 
	public void Paint (Graphics g)
	{
		//Rectangle r=new Rectangle();
		g.fillRect(x, y, 200, 20);
		g.setColor(color); 
 
	}
	public void moveL(int dx){
		this.x+=dx;
 
	}
	public void moveR(int dx){
		this.x-=dx;
 
	}
 
}

3. BallWorld1 (main page):

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.util.Random;
 
public class BallWorld1 extends Frame {
 
	private Ball aBall;
	private matka aMatka;
	private Brick aBrick;
 
	public static void main (String [ ] args)	{
		BallWorld1 world = new BallWorld1 (Color.red);
		world.show ();
	}
 
 
	private BallWorld1 (Color ballColor) {
 
		// constructor for new ball world
			// resize our frame
		setSize (getHeight(),getWidth());
		setTitle ("Ball World");
		addMouseListener(new BallListener());
		addKeyListener(new MatkaListener());
		aMatka = new matka(570,680);
		//aBrick = new Brick(80,50);
			// initialize object data field
		aBall = new Ball (10, 15, 5);
		aMatka.setColor(ballColor);
		aBall.setColor (ballColor);
		aBall.setMotion (6.0, 10.0);
 
		addWindowListener( 
			new WindowAdapter() {
			public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
				System.exit(0);
			}
		});
	}
 
 
 
	public void paint (Graphics g) {
			//aBrick.Paint(g);
			aMatka.Paint(g);
			aBall.paint (g);
			aBall.move();
			if ((aBall.x() < 0) || (aBall.x() > getSize().width))
				aBall.setMotion (-aBall.xMotion(), aBall.yMotion());
			if ((aBall.y() < 0) || (aBall.y() > getSize().height))
				aBall.setMotion (aBall.xMotion(), -aBall.yMotion());
	try { Thread.sleep(100); }
			catch (InterruptedException e) {}
			repaint();
	}
 
	class BallListener extends MouseAdapter {
		public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
			aBall.moveTo(e.getX(), e.getY());
		}
	}
 
	class MatkaListener implements KeyListener {
 
		 public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
		 {
			 switch (e.getKeyCode())
			 {
			 case KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT: aMatka.moveR(-10);
				 break;
			 case KeyEvent.VK_LEFT: aMatka.moveL(-10);
				 break;
			 }
		 }
		@Override
		public void keyReleased(KeyEvent arg0) {
			// TODO Auto-generated method stub
 
		}
		@Override
		public void keyTyped(KeyEvent arg0) {
			// TODO Auto-generated method stub
 
		}
 
	}
 
}

4. Brick

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Paint;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
 
public class Brick {
	private int x;
	private int y;
 
	public Brick (int x, int y){
		this.x=x;
		this.y=y;
	}
 
 
	public void Paint (Graphics g, int dx,int dy)
	{
		this.x=dx;
		this.y=dy;
		g.fillRect(x, y, 50, 60);
		g.setColor(Color.RED); 
 
	}
 
}

the class Brick and the method paint.

I need to paint them in the Ballworld1

I thought about a matrix [20][4] 4 rows 20 each row

But how I suppost to do that ? Can you give me some leads ?
And thank you for all your help
