Re: random size of birds Reply #3 - Nov 13th, 2007, 9:43am   Hi. Have a look at the Bird class : the parameters controlling the size of the birds are already specified (w and h : width & height). By default, the Bird() constructor assigns w=60, h=80, by you can specify your own values : Bird b = new Bird(0, 0, 0, myWidth, myHeight); Quote: class Bird{  // properties  ...  float w, h;  ...  // constructors  Bird(){    this(0, 0, 0, 60, 80);  }  Bird(float offsetX, float offsetY, float offsetZ, float w, float h) { ... }  ... }
