Drawing multiple pixels/rectangles

Question

I\'m trying to make a java sand game and can\'t get past one bit. i\'ve made my method that draws a rectangle at mouseX and mouseY, and i have set it up so it updates every fram

Answer 1

Public Variables:

Rectangle boxes[] = new Rectangle[maxnum];
int boxnum = 0;

On mouse move:

boxes[boxnum] = new Rectangle[e.getX(), e.getY(), sizeX, sizeY);
boxnum = boxnum + 1;

When drawing your particles:

counter = 0;
do
{
   g.drawRect(boxes[counter].x, boxes[counter].y, sizeX, sizeY);
   counter = counter + 1;
} while (counter < maxnum);

Where maxnum is the maximum number of boxes you will have. This way you can store multiple rectangles in your array and go through the array and draw them when you update the screen. Hope this helps.
