Hello there, I am trying to take a go at programming a tetris clone
It's been alright but I am a tad stuck. Basically as you can see below I am just trying to draw a simple square piece, but comprised of 4 smaller blocks.. The problem I am having is getting the right x and y coordinates so that the block becomes one.
| code: |
public class Tetromino {
int mesh[][] = new int[5][5]; public int[][] squareTetromino () { mesh[2][2] = 2; mesh[2][3] = 1; mesh[3][2] = 1; mesh[3][3] = 1; return mesh; } } |
(2 is the pivot block)
| code: |
public class Playfield extends JPanel {
Tetromino tetromino = new Tetromino(); @Override public void paintComponent(Graphics g) { super.paintComponent(g); g.setColor(Color.RED); for(int i = 0; i < tetromino.squareTetromino().length; i++) { for(int j = 0; j < tetromino.squareTetromino()[i].length; j++) { if(tetromino.squareTetromino()[i][j] == 1) { [color=red]g.fill3DRect(100 + (i * 10), 100 + (j * 10), 10, 10, true);[/color] } else if(tetromino.squareTetromino()[i][j] == 2) { [color=red]g.fill3DRect(100 + (i * 10), 100 + (j * 10), 10, 10, true);[/color] } } } } } |
As you can see from above I am drawing each block in the same place, however fooling around with some while statements and more iteration while incrementing a value, then multiplying it by 10 (the block size) has got me nowhere. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can accomplish this?
EDIT:
Basically, if you see the mesh array, everything is null except where the blocks are. Essentially I want to compute the offsets and translate the block accordingly, however I have not been able to come up with a generic way that will work for all tetris pieces.
