Small X/Y Location Problem

PROBLEM SOLVED


The highlighted lines are new and correct. You may now just read the solution.

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.
