Create a Window and Draw a Square - STEP 1

In this step, we're laying the groundwork for our game by doing two simple tasks:

1. Create the Game Window: This will be the area where everything in the game takes place.

2. Draw the Player: The player is represented as a square, which we’ll display inside the window.

Here’s the code for this step:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class Projectiles extends JPanel {

    private int squareX = 50, squareY = 250; // Player position

    public Projectiles() {
        setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 500)); // Set the window size
        setBackground(Color.WHITE); // Set the background color
    }

    @Override
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        super.paintComponent(g);

        // Draw the player (the square)
        g.setColor(Color.BLUE); // Set the color of the square
        g.fillRect(squareX, squareY, 30, 30); // Draw the square at (50, 250)
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Window with Square"); // Create the window
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); // Close the program when the window is closed
        frame.add(new Projectiles()); // Add our JPanel to the window
        frame.pack(); // Adjust the window size to fit the panel
        frame.setVisible(true); // Show the window
    }
}
