Images in Java (part 4)

Outline

Complete code to demonstrate animation of sprite

In this program, we read in two images: one is an asteroid, the other is a spritesheet of explosions. Both images are below. You can right click on them and save them in order to run this yourself.

• read in images
• draw asteroid on screen
• user clicks on asteroid
• this starts a timer that runs through one of the explosions
• at the end of the explosion sequence, the timer stops and the asteroid is redrawn in a random location
• repeat

Sprites and Images

"green_asteroid.png"

There are 8 rows. Each has 14 sprites in it. Each sprite is 64x64 pixels.
This is not the best spritesheet as you can see that some are truncated. "explosions.png"
