Animation

1. Trace the edge! You will create a rectangle that moves around the 4 edges of the drawing panel, leaving a trace as it goes.

USEFUL CODE:

try {

Thread.sleep(# of milliseconds);

} catch (InterruptedException ex) {}

2. Back and forth! You will create an oval or rectangle that moves between two positions.

*You will have to ERASE the old images.

3. Bouncing ball! You will create an animation of a ball that bounces around the screen.

4. Final Project! Your animation should consist of the following:

a main class that runs the animation, using instances of the classes you create and their methods to make something cool happen
at least two classes that draw different characters
these classes should have the following types of methods:
- basic draw method (takes position as parameters) - uses the Graphics drawing methods
- erase method
- move method (takes x-change and y-change as parameters)
- moveTo method (takes new position and speed of move as parameters)
- color change method (takes new color as parameter) - doesn't have to change full color
- special way of changing the image
- getX
- getY
