CS 1713 Introduction to Computer Science, Spring 2011 Project 1 Comments

This project was graded on a basis of 20 points.

• There should not be any "magic numbers" embedded in your code.
• Do not hard code in constants such as 300 for the x-value of the paddle in the body of the code. Define a constant called PADDLE_X:
  private static final int PADDLE_X = 300;
• handleBall should not assume that the ball has radius 10.
• No -1 or +1 in randomRange.
• Need to use .equals to compare colors.
• Some made the paddle an object, but in this case the paddle should handle the test for a ball hitting it.
• Test for paddle moving too low should be based on the size of the window, not the initial size.
