Final code Screen shot

This is a screen shot of my final working code.. Not much has changed except colours. I have chosen a selection of different greens so that no colours clash. I also found a cool thing from Kiran Matthews that makes my circles pulsate in and out which i thought added quite a cool effect.

Well after a large amount of reasearch into array lists I finally gave up and decided to make variables for each circle that was made..So at the moment a left click makes a larger circle and a right click makes a smaller circle, both of which make their corresponding sounds as the line passes through them. I then ran into the problem of how to reaset the application so you couldnt make infinate circles. So I have made it so that the 11th click of each button makes the 10 excisting circles disapear.. this means you can only have a maximum of 20 circles on the page at one time.. Next thing to do is decide on a colour scheme..

At this point I added in my sounds.. I have chosen drum sounds that I have made on garage band, The idea being that you can make your own drumbeats.. Once I got the sounds playing the trick was to make them play as the larger pulsating circle hits them.. After playing round with it I found that i could get the sound to play only at the x or y co ordinate but not both.. meaning the sounds would play but they would play out of time with the pulsating circle.. At which point I admit frustration kicked in and I ditched the pulsating circle and instead went for a slightly more boring line that moves across the screen..

Here is the code with the moving line instead of the pulsating circle.. The good news is now I have a working code. Each circle plays its noice as the line hits the center co ordinate. Now for the tricky part of making more than two circles

I have managed to make a circle that when left clicked it gets bigger and right clicked it gets smaller.. However i want to be able to click and leave the circles once the mouse is let go.. I am going to try and make it so a right and left click make a certain sized circle then try to make it so once clicked the circles will stay where they are. This way i thnk my code will be easier to understand and easier for me to try and code.




This is the code that allows me to click and leave circles using a left and right click however i still cannot make more than one of each.. I am first going to add a sound to this code and see if i can make it play when the pulsating circle hits one of the smaller circles.. Once i have done this i will at least have a working code that i can build off.

This is the first development screen shot... this circle is set to expand its diameter by 5 each refresh which i may change once i get the code working and see if the sounds are playing to fast.. Iv gone for quite a dark background and a brighter circle. I was thinking about putting some sort of background picture in but it would get quite confusing in later stages once there is many circles on the screen
