I found an amazing
tutorial for writing a brick breaking style game in Java. I walked through the video, typing all of the code, and was able to fully reproduce the game! In some respect, I suppose it's similar to tracing a drawing, but either way, I am so happy with the results. My first hello world app took me about 90 minutes to finish. I finished the game in about two hours.
// Main.java

package breakerGame;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Creates frame for game
JFrame obj = new JFrame();
Gameplay gamePlay = new Gameplay();
obj.setBounds(10, 10, 700, 600);
obj.setTitle("Breakout Ball");
obj.setResizable(false);
obj.setVisible(true);
obj.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
obj.add(gamePlay);
}
}
