Deleting specific objects in an array

in Programming Questions • 2 years ago

Trying to make a game where when you click on an object it disappears off screen.

The objects are in an array, my problem is when you click the mouse on the object it removes the entire array. Im wondering how to have the game recognise which object in the array has been pressed and then remove just that one?

Thanks

Hello,

In other for us to help you in the best way possible is always advisable to post as much of your source code as possible, otherwise we can only recommend algorithms and methodologies instead of pointing out something that you may already have a solution for in your code.

Have a look at ArrayList, they allow you to insert and remove objects from it, because they are resizable arrays, and as for the click object recognition, try using a for loop that checks if the mouse is over the object and then get the matching id of the object in the array and remove it, to check if the mouse is on top of an object you need to check if the distance of the mouse is less than the object body (e.g radius)
