Thread: how to create bullets in java

i created a player and i want him to shoot bullet. i understand the logic but i need some help with it. my bullet will just be rect in paint method.

logic:
create bullet class
store in arraylist
print in paint method

in bullet class i set the variables:
Bullet.java

x                                     //x postion
y                                     //y postion
width                                //width of bullet
height = 10;                      //height of bullet
dx = 5;                             //speed of bullet
boolean hitSpace = false;  //if user hit space buttom
boolean visable = false;     //cant see the bullet 
int bullet_limit = 50;          //set bullet limit. so after 50 no more bullets
int bullet_range = 200;     //how far can bullet go
private ArrayList<Bullet> store_bullets = new ArrayList<Bullet>();  //store bullets

//if user hit space bar than set variables (calling this method in key method in main.)
public void hitSPACE()
	{
		hitSpace = true;
		dead = false;
	}
 
 
 
	public void MOVE()
	{
		if(hitSpace == true)                      //if user hit space bar
		{
			Bullet  b = new shoot(x, y);   //create bullet
			store_bullets.add(b);           //store in arraylist
 
			x+= dx;        //change speed
 
			if(x > bullet_range)     //if it goes above range than dont viable
			{
				visable = false;  //cant see the bullet
			}
		}
	}
 
 
//draw bullets from arraylist
public void paint(Graphics g)
	{
		if(visable == true)     //if its visable                    
		{
			for(int w = 0; w < store_bullets.size(); w++)// print from array list
			{
				g.fillRect(x, y, width, height);
			}
		}
	}//end of paint method

this is the code where i need help. how to print bullets from arraylist.

for(int w = 0; w < store_bullets.size(); w++)       // print from array list
			{
				g.fillRect(x, y, width, height);
			}

i printed bullet arraylist in player.class

for(int i = 0; i < store_bullets.size(); i++)
	{
	g.drawImage(shoot_class.getImage(), bullet_class.getX(), bullet_class.getY(), 
bullet_class.getWIDTH(), bullet_class.getHEIGHT(), null);
	}

now the problem is that when i hit space bullet shows up but it is taking player x, and y postion. and it move with my player. so if i move my player right than bullet moves right.

but my public void SHOOT_MOVE() not seem to be working right. i added a println statment in that function and it does print. so it is going in that function but not moving the buttlet right.

i think i found the problem. in player class
bc SHOOT_MOVE() is in if statment. its only going to add dx to bullet x postion only onces. and if i hit space bar again than it will create a new bullet and add dx only onces. if that make scene?

public void PLAYER_KEYS(main m, levels level_class)
{
...
if(space)
{
     bullet_class = new shoot(x, y, m);
     store_bullets.add(shoot_class);
     bullet_class.SHOOT_MOVE();
}
...
}

so its adding bullet adding dx onces. than createing another bullet adding dx onces. so all bulletx are on top of each other.
