Workshop: Simple Animation

• Animate several objects simultaneously

  • Start with Timeout1, but add another object

• Give them different speeds and directions

• Stop or bounce back when they hit edge of panel

  • Get current bounds of panel: YOUR_PANEL.getSize().width , ...height

• Give them different appearances

  • Take advantage of Java2D advanced drawing features

• General background: http://www.java2s.com/Tutorial/Java/0240__Swing/Timerbasedanimation.htm
