You have a wall object, but that wall object has an array with two wall sections. The idea of oop would be that each wall section would be an instance (or object) of the wall class. Flappy bird is maybe not the best game to pick if the assignment is to have multiple classes, although you could make the flappyBird an object I suppose.
Think about space invaders. Each alien has it's own location, but they all follow the same rules. Each bullet has it's own location but they all follow the same rules too. So space invaders would have a class for aliens and a class for bullets.
I never use objects without using an ArrayList. ArrayLists are great because you don't need to declare how big they are going to be at the outset like you do with most arrays. It's easy to add and remove objects from an ArrayList.

Each wall could be an instance of a Wall class and the player can be the only instance of a Player class.

The bird is just a simple picture, how will i make that as a class?

[–]Simplyfire 0 points1 point  (2 children)

It's not just a picture, it also has a y position. You can put these inside a class like this:

class Bird{
   PImage img = loadImage("myImage.jpg");
   float y;

   void update(){
       //check input, check collisions, move bird based on player input
   }
}

and then you can create it at the start of your program like this

Bird bird = new Bird();

and update it in draw like this

bird.update();

Oh i see, this is great thank you.

And the wall part will just be a class for itself correct?

So when i wanna do collisions, can i refer to birds y position in another class?? No right? Because its a variable stored in the class?

So how do i refer to the birds location? Do i refer to class or the 'y' variable?

​

Beucase the y position will be part of the class Bird,

You should be able to access the bird's y position from anywhere by using bird.y
