Will explain in fragments
A complete listing of the class named Slick0220 is provided in Listing 8 . I will break the code down and explain it in fragments.
Beginning of the class named Slick0220.
The beginning of the class named Slick0220 , down through the main method is shown in Listing 1 .
| Listing 1 . Beginning of the class named Slick0220. |

public class Slick0220 extends BasicGame{//The values of the following variables can be changed
// to effect the spread of the disease.//Set the life expectancy of an infected sprite// in frames.
int infectedSpriteLife = 96;//Set the maximum fraction of exposed sprites that will// become infected.
float probabilityOfInfection = 0.5f;//Set the maximum step size that a sprite will move in// one frame.
float maxStepSize = 1;//Set the initial number of sprites in the population.int numberSprites = 1000;//References to Sprite01 objects are stored here.
ArrayList<Sprite01>sprites =
new ArrayList<Sprite01>();//These variables are populated with references to Image
// objects later.Image redBallImage;
Image greenBallImage;//This variable is populated with a reference to a Sound// object later.
Sound blaster;//These variables are populated with information about// the background image later.
Image background = null;float backgroundWidth;
float backgroundHeight;//This object is used to produce random values for a// variety of purposes.
Random random = new Random();//This is the frame rate we would like to see and// the maximum frame rate we will allow.
int targetFPS = 24;//----------------------------------------------------//
public Slick0220(){//constructor//Set the title
super("Slick0220, baldwin");}//end constructor
//----------------------------------------------------//public static void main(String[] args)throws SlickException{
AppGameContainer app = new AppGameContainer(new Slick0220(),500,500,false);
app.start();}//end main |
There is nothing new in Listing 1 , so there should be no need for an explanation beyond the embedded comments.
The init method begins in Listing 2 .

// represent the sprites.redBallImage = new Image("redball.png");
