Java Code

public class Sprite {
	/** The image to be drawn for this sprite */
	private Image image;
	
	/**
	 * Create a new sprite based on an image
	 * 
	 * @param image The image that is this sprite
	 */
	public Sprite(Image image) {
		this.image = image;
	}

why is there two Images? what does the first do and what does the second do? im confused and ive seen this with the word game as well.

i've noticed that the capitalization are different but i don't understand the purpose. if any one could try to elaborate that would be stupendous. =)

Hi cejay

By two images, I am guessing you are referring to the following lines

Java Code

 public Sprite(Image image)

The first Image is the referring to the class Image. The second is just a variable name. The following also works

Java Code

public Sprite(Image img)

It just means that the variable image is an object of the class Image
