I am trying to learn some more about vectors and rotation in Java by making a simple asteroids game. I have been trying out the Vector2d class, but I feel like I could have done it just using Points and doubles. Is my use of the Vector2d redundant? How would you change my program?

    int magnitude = 0;

    Vector2d rocket = new Vector2d();

        this.f = f;
        setSize(900, 800);

        try {
            img = ImageIO.read(new File("res/rocket.png"));
        } catch (IOException e) {}

        imgw = img.getWidth();
        imgh = img.getHeight();

        bullets = new ArrayList<Projectile>();

        f.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {

                m2.normalize();
                m2.x/=5;
                m2.y/=5;
                Magnitude.add(m2);

            magnitude = 10;
            Magnitude = new Vector2d(dir);
            position.x+=(5*Magnitude.x);
            position.y+=(5*Magnitude.y);

        }

        public void update(){
            position.add(Magnitude);
        }

        public void draw(Graphics2D g2){
            g2.drawOval((int)position.x, (int)position.y,4,4);
        }
    }
}

Currently there is no asteroids to shoot, you can just move around and shoot. Here is the Image I used: http://findicons.com/files/icons/1495/space/32/rocket_ship.png

  • I think that not (answer to your question)

  • but most important is there wrong usage of KeyListener, use KeyBindings instead, example for Keys UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT

  • (I'm not good in Graphics2D) but another issues could be caused by method

    public void draw(Graphics2D g2){

check this thread how to move with Graphics2D, especialy answer by @trashgod

I've never heard of KeyBindings, always used the VK_LETTER. Before that, I used getKeyChar. I think they all work fine.
