Snood
I don't know if everyone has heard of this game.. I think it was really popular a couple years or so ago... but anyway, I would like to try to make a "Snood" clone in java.
I'm not looking for code, but I did want to ask if anyone had any suggestions concerning what I would like to do...
Basically if you don't know already, in Snood your cursor "turns into" this canon thing at the bottom of the screen and you fire "snood" characters trying to knock them all down.. I haven't done much with animation in Java though... and in particular I was wondering about how to, for example, get the user's cursor to "become" the canon that shoots out snoods and rotates around at the bottom...
is there a certain part of the API I should be reading up on for help with this kind of thing..? or maybe another library I could download somewhere..?
Thanks to anyone who can help me out!
