    copied!<p>I am trying to do a custom drawing for each Gladiator object I create, then move them around. I am currently getting a cannot find symbol error inside Gladiator class on "public class Gladiator implements Drawable{" regarding keyword Drawable. I am pretty sure I am importing what I need to (likely more)... </p> <pre><code>public class Test2 extends JFrame { private PaintPanel paintPanel; public Test2() { setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE); setMinimumSize(new Dimension(800, 600)); paintPanel = new PaintPanel(); getContentPane().add(paintPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER); pack(); paintPanel.initGame(); } class PaintPanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener { private List&lt;Gladiator&gt; gladiators; private Timer timer; public void initGame() { timer = new Timer(50, this); timer.start(); } @Override public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { repaint(); System.out.println("Refreshing "); } public PaintPanel(){ super(); gladiators = new ArrayList&lt;Gladiator&gt;(); } public void paintComponent(Graphics g) { super.paintComponent(g); Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g; for (Gladiator s : gladiators){ g2.draw(s); } } } public static void main(String args[]) { java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { Test2 gamePanel = new Test2(); gamePanel.setVisible(true); } }); } </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>Gladiator class:</p> <pre><code>import java.awt.Graphics; import java.awt.Graphics2D; import java.awt.Point; import java.awt.Shape; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; import java.util.ArrayList; public class Gladiator implements Drawable { int minreach = 60; int maxreach = 100; int z = maxreach * 2; int n = minreach * 2; int[] location = new int[] {25,25}; public void Draw(Graphics g){ g.setColor(Color.green); g.fillArc(location[0], location[1], z, z, 45, 90); g.setColor(Color.red); g.fillArc((location[0]+(z-n)/2),(location[1]+(z-n)/2), n, n, 45, 90); g.setColor(Color.black); g.fillArc((location[0]+(z-30)/2),(location[1]+(z-30)/2), 30, 30, 0, 360); } </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>Why am I getting this error? I need to be able to draw my gladiators to screen. Do I need separate classes for my visual representation (abstract?) and my game object as some tutorials I have read seem to suggest?</p> <p>Edit:</p> <p>I removed drawable entirely because as I had assumed it was just part of java syntax, I may not even need it. Here is code:</p> <pre><code>public class Test2 extends JFrame { private PaintPanel paintPanel; public Test2() { setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE); setMinimumSize(new Dimension(800, 600)); paintPanel = new PaintPanel(); getContentPane().add(paintPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER); pack(); paintPanel.initGame(); } class PaintPanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener { private List&lt;Gladiator&gt; gladiators; private Timer timer; public void initGame() { timer = new Timer(50, this); timer.start(); } @Override public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { repaint(); System.out.println("Refreshing "); } public PaintPanel(){ super(); gladiators = new ArrayList&lt;Gladiator&gt;(); } public void paintComponent(Graphics g) { super.paintComponent(g); Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g; for (Gladiator s : gladiators){ g2.draw(s); } } } public static void main(String args[]) { java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { Test2 gamePanel = new Test2(); gamePanel.setVisible(true); } }); } </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>Gladiator class:</p> <pre><code>import java.awt.Graphics; import java.awt.Graphics2D; import java.awt.Point; import java.awt.Shape; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; import java.util.ArrayList; public class Gladiator { int minreach = 60; int maxreach = 100; int z = maxreach * 2; int n = minreach * 2; int[] location = new int[] {25,25}; public void Draw(Graphics g){ g.setColor(Color.green); g.fillArc(location[0], location[1], z, z, 45, 90); g.setColor(Color.red); g.fillArc((location[0]+(z-n)/2),(location[1]+(z-n)/2), n, n, 45, 90); g.setColor(Color.black); g.fillArc((location[0]+(z-30)/2),(location[1]+(z-30)/2), 30, 30, 0, 360); } </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>My error now is on line "g2.draw(s);" and says "actual argument Gladiator cannot be converted to Shape by method invocation conversion". Thanks for any help... how to convert my Gladiator to a shape? Or should I be extending Shape somehow?</p>
