Tank Game !Help Please!

[Bianchi60]

I'm in a java programming class right now, and I need help completing my game. I'm using the Location class found at collegeboard.com and all, and I've gotten the right key teleport to work. Basically, that means when I hit the edge of the map, I come out on the otherside of the map, like in Pacman when you hit that little tunnel on the edge of the map. Could someone please help me?

you need the image files I've attached as well.
Here's my code:

import java.awt.event.*;

public class SimpleDemo

  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    play();
  }
  
  public static void play()
  {
    //create display with each cell of size 64x64 pixels

    
    GridDisplay display = new GridDisplay(10,10);

    display.setTitle("Simple Demo");

Can you please post your code in code tags?

You can probably make the tank jump to the other side by setting the x or y to 0.

If it reaches max y, set the new location to x, 0. If you hit the max x move to 0, y. It's similar if you hit 0 as y or x, you would jump to max x or max y.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Holy crap! It worked! Thanks. See, my instructor wants us to avoid "hard-coding" if we can, but then again, he also wants the program to work, so thanks!

For my sprite class I used this to warp:

 if(getXPos() < bounds.getX())
      xPos = (int)bounds.getWidth() - getWidth();
 if(getYPos() < bounds.getY())
      yPos = (int)bounds.getHeight() - getHeight();
 if(getXPos() + getWidth() > bounds.getWidth())
      xPos = (int)bounds.getX();
 if(getYPos() + getHeight() > bounds.getHeight())
     yPos = (int)bounds.getY();

And, like sunde887 said, please edit your post to include code tags.
