Hey! Im trying to make a little game in java. Rock Paper Scissors, u know />
At the bottom of my screen ( Running in fullscreen mode) I have a image with the different moves a player can choose.
Is there a way to devide the image into three different parts and add listeners to all of them?

Or do i have to separate them in Photoshop and add them one by one ?

Or maby another way im not familiar with?

You can use:

Graphics

public abstract boolean drawImage(Image img,
                int dx1,
                int dy1,
                int dx2,
                int dy2,
                int sx1,
                int sy1,
                int sx2,
                int sy2,
                ImageObserver observer);

the sx and sy parameters specify the source x and y locations of the image. You could split an image into 100 parts, if you like. As for MouseListeners, sure. You can monitor the x and y of the mouse via the listener, then do whatever you like.

You can split the image yes
The BufferedImage class even has a method to do just that
example

BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new File("C:\\image.png"));
BufferdImage rock = image.getSubimage(0, 0, 40, 40); //x: 0, y: 0, width: 40, height: 40
...

Are you using swing? if you are, then just add the images as icons on three JLabel's

Tnx for fast reply!
I will try the JLabel method when im done eating christmas dinner

I got the JLable method to work btw. I found out that im not a master to write gui and have a program that respond the way i want. Never done this before. Do anyone have a great way to start? The first code i wrote didnt work, so started over..

What specific topics are you interested in? The Oracle tutorials are a great place to start, as well as the DIC tutorials.

You can addMouseListener() to your JLabel if you make them setFocusable(true);

Making the Gui is not the hardest. The hardest is to make it work with the user inputs. I got one problem now before the game is ready. That is a status text i want to draw to the screen. Im using drawString(), and that works fine for the first text i want to show, the text is make your choise. The next one is my problem. it works with system.out.println(). the next text will be usersChoise VS compureChoise (example. ROCK VS PAPER)

Rather than painting and using drawString(), use a JLabel and setText() instead. If you have a submit JButton, you can add an ActionListener that updates the JLabels. The Oracle tutorial has good tutorial on ActionListeners.
