I am writing the code of Game bean machine (Galton box) using animated graphics. I am using swing.Timer to make the red ball move, by letting the Timer object take an ActionListener.
Here is the output: The red ball here is moving randomly : http://imgur.com/J9Xq0t5&HIv1udp And here it reaches the bottom: http://imgur.com/J9Xq0t5&HIv1udp#1
The problem is that I want to make several balls moving not only 1 but I actually cannot, I tried to put the Timer object in a loop but it only speeded up the ball motion.
Here is the code I wrote:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;
import javax.swing.*;
public class GameBean extends JFrame{
private int nSlots;
private int balls;
public GameBean (int nSlots, int balls){
this.balls=balls;
this.nSlots=nSlots;
Timer timer=new Timer(500,new RandomListener());
timer.start();
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
this.add(canvas);
}
Ball canvas = new Ball();
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Please enter number of slots: ");
int nSlots=input.nextInt();
JFrame frame = new GameBean (nSlots, 5);
frame.setTitle("Bean Game Machine");
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize(300, 500);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
class RandomListener implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
canvas.moveRandom();
}
}

Any HELP please ! Thanks all..
