    Default java game

    I am trying to have a Jbutton (blocker02) act like a wall that will not allow a moving Jbutton to pass through. I tried using " if (blocker02.getBounds().intersects(r_wall)) but it hasn't been successful.
    Any suggestions on how to make this work? Thanks for any advice!

    What value is in the r_wall variable?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Your design might be the problem. Components (JButtons) are placed in containers (JPanels) according to the container's layout manager. The layout manager divides the container into distinct areas that don't move around, bump into each other, or trade places with each other so that components placed in those areas don't touch, overlap (intersect), or collide.

    The components placed in the container according to the layout manager will have "next to", "above", "below", etc. relationships that the programmer could establish and keep track of to control what the components are "allowed" to do.

    If you simplify your program so that it does not require access to special graphics (use letters or titles), we could run it to better understand what you're trying to do.

    I also recommend you write a separate class to be the ActionListener for your javax.swing.Timer.
