Ok so i need to write the brick class based on the JavaDoc provided, the is based on the game brick breaker.

what other informations do you need??

how do i write this class?? need help please

• public class Brick extends java.lang.Object

  This class is used to store state information corresponding to a single Brick within the brick breaker game model. It provides basic information about the Brick's position as well as information about the current strength of a Brick. All Bricks in brick breaker have a height of 20 and a width of 50, regardless of other state information.

    • Brick

      public Brick(int topIn, int leftIn)

      Creates a basic Brick object at a specified position. The new Brick will default with a strength of 3, meaning that it will break after 3 hits by a ball.

      Parameters:

      topIn - The y position of the top of this Brick in the model.

      leftIn - The x position of the left side of this Brick in the model.

    • Brick

      public Brick(int topIn, int leftIn, int hitsIn)

      Creates a custom Brick object at a specified position with a specified strength.

      Parameters:

      topIn - The y position of the top of this Brick in the model.

      leftIn - The x position of the left side of this Brick in the model.

      hitsIn - The initial strength of this Brick. A value greater than zero represents that this Brick will break after that number of hits. A value of 0 represents a "non-brick" or empty space in the model. A value of -1 represents that this Brick cannot be broken at all, regardless of the number of hits.

  • Method Detail

    • getTop

      public int getTop()

      Retrieves the y coordinate of the top of this Brick.

      Returns:

      The y coordinate of the top edge.

    • getLeft

      public int getLeft()

      Retrieves the x coordinate of the left side of this Brick.

      Returns:

      The x coordinate of the left edge.

    • getWidth

      public int getWidth()

      Retrieves the width of this Brick.

      Returns:

      The width of the Brick.

    • getHeight

      public int getHeight()

      Retrieves the height of this Brick.

      Returns:

      The height of the Brick.

    • getColor

      public javafx.scene.paint.Color getColor()

      The current color to represent this Brick's breakability state.

      Returns:

      There are five possible Colors that can be returned based on the Brick's current strength: Color.BLACK if this Brick cannot be broken; Color.WHITE if this Brick has been completely broken; and Color.RED, Color.YELLOW, Color.GREEN if this Brick will break after 1, 2, and 3 more hits, consecutively.

    • hit

      public boolean hit()

      This mutator method will update this Brick's state data to account for being hit by the Ball once.

      Returns:

      true when the hit caused this brick to break completely, false otherwise.

    • isTouching

      public TouchPosition isTouching(Ball theBall)

      This method implements a collision detection algorithm to identify whether this Brick is currently being hit by a given Ball object. It will produce a return value to signal which side, if any, is currently being hit.

      Parameters:

      theBall - The Ball to examine for collision with this Brick.

      Returns:

      A valid TouchPosition state representing where theBall is intersecting this Brick. When no collision is detected at all or this Brick is already broken, NONE should be returned. Otherwise, TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, or RIGHT will be returned corresponding to which side of this Brick is currently being hit by theBall.

    • toString

      public java.lang.String toString()

      Retrieves a String representation of this Brick's current object state. The string will be formatted as:

      "Brick at (tlx, tly, brx, bry)" where tlx/tly are the x and y coordinates of the top/left corner and brx/bry are the x and y coordinates of the bottom right corner of this Brick.

      Overrides:

      toString in class java.lang.Object

      Returns:

      The formatted state information about this Brick.
