For the final part of this assignment I need to do the following:

Any help/advice/starting pointers would be great!


1) Create a row of Alien attackers, class RowOfAlien, patterned after the partially filled array. Put five Aliens in the row. When the row hits the left or right of the screen, the Aliens snake downwards (see demo). Note that this is different from the video game where the entire row bounces as one unit.

2) Left and right keys move the canon. The canon fires automatically (as in version 1) but the bullet is fired from the current position of the canon.Note that you must press space bar a couple of times to get keyboard interaction working.

To make it easier to debug your program, print a message in the console when each of the following happens:

* An alien is hit by a bullet
* The left or right keys are pressed

3) Modify GameDemo to:

* Play the game multiple times.
* Display the outcome of each game.
* At the conclusion of play, show the total number of games won and lost


Here are the pieces of code I have so far:

import java.awt.Canvas;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.event.KeyAdapter;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
import java.awt.image.BufferStrategy;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
