Breakout game (wanted to add score board in the layout)

Hi,
I wanted to add a score board along with lives with text field to the right of the game panel using JPanel/JFrame

Here's the snapshot.

Attachment 1833

Here's the code snippet

Code:

---


import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;

public class Breakout extends JFrame{
       
   
        public Breakout()
    { 
        add(new Board());
        setTitle("Breakout");
       
        setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
       
        setSize(Commons.WIDTH, Commons.HEIGTH);
        setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        setIgnoreRepaint(true);
        setResizable(false);
        setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Breakout();
    }
}

And one more

Code:

---

public class Board extends JPanel implements Commons {

    Image ii;
    Timer timer;
    String message = "Game Over";
    Ball ball;
    Paddle paddle;
    Brick bricks[];
    int score=0;
    boolean ingame = true;
    int timerId;

   
    public Board() {
           
        addKeyListener(new TAdapter());
        setFocusable(true);

        bricks = new Brick[30];
        setDoubleBuffered(true);
        timer = new Timer();
        timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new ScheduleTask(), 1000, 10);
    }
 
        public void addNotify() {
            super.addNotify();
            gameInit();
        }
       
    public void gameInit() {
           
        ball = new Ball();
        paddle = new Paddle();


        int k = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < 6; j++) {
                bricks[k] = new Brick(j * 40 + 30, i * 10 + 50);
                k++;
            }
        }
    }


    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        super.paint(g);

        if (ingame) {
       
            g.drawImage(ball.getImage(), ball.getX(), ball.getY(),
                        ball.getWidth(), ball.getHeight(), this);
            g.drawImage(paddle.getImage(), paddle.getX(), paddle.getY(),
                        paddle.getWidth(), paddle.getHeight(), this);

            for (int i = 0; i < 30; i++) {
                if (!bricks[i].isDestroyed())
                    g.drawImage(bricks[i].getImage(), bricks[i].getX(),
                                bricks[i].getY(), bricks[i].getWidth(),
                                bricks[i].getHeight(), this);
               
            }
         
     
        }else {
               
                /*Font font = new Font("Verdana", Font.BOLD, 18);
            FontMetrics metr = this.getFontMetrics(font);

            g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
            g.setFont(font);
            g.drawString(message,
                        90,
                        Commons.WIDTH / 4);*/
        }


        Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().sync();
      // g.dispose();
    }

    private class TAdapter extends KeyAdapter {

        public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
            paddle.keyReleased(e);
        }

        public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
            paddle.keyPressed(e);
        }
    }


    class ScheduleTask extends TimerTask {

        public void run() {

            ball.move();
            paddle.move();
            checkCollision();
            repaint();

        }
    }

    public void stopGame() {
        ingame = true;
       
        timer.cancel();
       
    }

    public static class Wait {
              public static void oneSec() {
                try {
                  Thread.currentThread().sleep(1000);
                  }
                catch (InterruptedException e) {
                  e.printStackTrace();
                  }
                } 
    }
    public void checkCollision() {
      if (ball.getRect().getMaxY() > Commons.BOTTOM) {
          //  stopGame();
             
      Wait.oneSec();
     
                ball = new Ball();
               
        }

        for (int i = 0, j = 0; i < 30; i++) {
            if (bricks[i].isDestroyed()) {
                   
                j++;
         
            }
            if (j == 30) {
                message = "Victory";
                stopGame();
            }
        }
}

Add a new JFrame near it, or just use a JLabel to display the score

Wherever you want to place it. Myself, I'd keep score either at the top or the bottom of the GUI, by adding a JPanel that holds the JLabel to the GUI's main container, probably its contentPane, in a BorderLayout.NORTH or BorderLayout.SOUTH position. This suggest though that the contentPane is using BorderLayout as its layout manager which it usually does by default.
