if (asd1 %26lt; 60 || asd1 %26gt; 120)


asd1 = 60;


asd1 = asd1 + 3;











//boat sale


Color boatsale = new Color (0, 0, 0);


g1.setColor (boatsale);

//human1 on the boat

Color humaneye2 = new Color (0, 0, 0); //color of eye 2


g1.setColor (humaneye2); //detects eye 2


g1.fillOval (99, 429, 5, 5); //makes eye 2








//human2 on the boat


Color humanface2 = new Color (251, 202, 153); //Color human face

Color shirt = new Color (120, 233, 7); //color for shirt


g1.setColor (shirt); //detects shirt


g1.fillRect (230, 440, 15, 15); //makes shirt








thanks again :D|||Moving the object means redrawing it in new position.


The old way of improving the appearance and performance of moving objects was to have two or more objects drawn in sequence in slightly different sequential positions and then hide the previous and show next one in quick succession.


It has been a long time since I had anything to do with graphics, so my approach may be outdated, but it will still work.
