This is a part of a beginning Processing tutorial series. If you’re new to Processing, start at the beginning!
As we continue our series on the basics of programming with Processing, we’ll look at extending the “Ball” class we created in the last set to include a user-controlled “Puck” object that can be used to turn this little app into a kind of air-hockey game. Fun stuff!
The beauty of working with object-oriented code is that we can extend the functionality of our code incredibly simply.
In this case, we’ll be creating a new type of Ball object called a “Puck”. All of the variables and methods that are defined in the Ball class will be available to our Puck class, but we’ll be able to add and tweak functionality as needed.
