Color Detection?

[isaiahk9]

Hey, for my final game project, I'm making a platforming fighter and was wondering about my maps/arenas. The easiest way to make maps is with color detection. Can I use color detection in Netbeans IDE 6.5? Or if anybody has any other ideas that would serve the same purpose, ty.

any colour chooser, even ms paint, will let u pick any colour off the whole range of colours. it will then give u numbers for red green and blue. in java u can say Color colour = new Color(red, green, blue); where red green and blue are numbers between 0 and 255

paint shop pro will let u take a colour off anywhere on the screen

Your IDE doesn't matter, it's which version of the Java SDK you're using that makes the difference.

Look into the Robots class for whatdotcolour-like colour detection. The main difference is that the Robots class allows you to get the colour from anywhere on the screen.

@matt271 : ty, but I already know how paint can pick out colors. I was just wondering if there was a line of code similar to whatdotcolor detection. Oh well, Gandalf solved my problem.

@Gandalf : ty, Robots class is the answer.
