CS 1713 Introduction to Computer Science, Spring 2012 Project 1 Comments

This project was graded on a basis of 20 points.

• The number under your name is your seat number.
  The grade is in the lower right corner of the paper.
• Most of the grades were between 16 and 18.
• 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.
• Test for paddle moving too low should be based on the size of the window, not the initial size.
• The test to see if the ball hit the paddle should include a test to see if the x-velocity of the ball is positve.
• For the ball to hit the paddle, the right part of the ball (x+radius) must be at least at the paddle and the left part of the ball (x-radius) must not be passed the paddle. You must include both tests.
