Here's how that works—if any puck is on track to hit the computer's goal, it calculates how long the puck will take to get there. It then moves to intercept the one that will hit the goal first. This is how the code calculates the next Y coordinate, impactY, at which a puck will hit the computer's goal:
int lowestTime = 10000; int impactY = -1; for (int loopIndex3 = 0; loopIndex3 < 12; loopIndex3++){ Puck movingPuck = (Puck)pucks.elementAt (loopIndex3); Rectangle r = movingPuck.rectangle; Point mPosition = new Point(r.x, r.y); Point mVelocity = movingPuck.velocity; if(mVelocity.x > 0 && !movingPuck.gone()){ ...Become an O’Reilly member and get unlimited access to this title plus top books and audiobooks from O’Reilly and nearly 200 top publishers, thousands of courses curated by job role, 150+ live events each month,
