                rightDirection = false;
                leftDirection = false;
            }
        }
    }
}
First we will define the constants used in our game.

private final int B_WIDTH = 300;
private final int B_HEIGHT = 300;
private final int DOT_SIZE = 10;
private final int ALL_DOTS = 900;
private final int RAND_POS = 29;
private final int DELAY = 140;
The B_WIDTH and B_HEIGHT constants determine the size of the board. The DOT_SIZE is the size of the apple and the dot of the snake. The ALL_DOTS constant defines the maximum number of possible dots on the board (900 = (300*300)/(10*10)). The RAND_POS constant is used to calculate a random position for an apple. The DELAY constant determines the speed of the game.

private final int x[] = new int[ALL_DOTS];
private final int y[] = new int[ALL_DOTS];
These two arrays store the x and y coordinates of all joints of a snake.

private void loadImages() {

    ImageIcon iid = new ImageIcon("dot.png");
    ball = iid.getImage();

    ImageIcon iia = new ImageIcon("apple.png");
    apple = iia.getImage();

    ImageIcon iih = new ImageIcon("head.png");
    head = iih.getImage();
}
In the loadImages() method we get the images for the game. The ImageIcon class is used for displaying PNG images.

private void initGame() {

    dots = 3;

    for (int z = 0; z < dots; z++) {
        x[z] = 50 - z * 10;
        y[z] = 50;
    }

    locateApple();

    timer = new Timer(DELAY, this);
    timer.start();
}
In the initGame() method we create the snake, randomly locate an apple on the board, and start the timer.

private void checkApple() {

    if ((x[0] == apple_x) && (y[0] == apple_y)) {

        dots++;
        locateApple();
    }
}
If the apple collides with the head, we increase the number of joints of the snake. We call the locateApple() method which randomly positions a new apple object.

In the move() method we have the key algorithm of the game. To understand it, look at how the snake is moving. We control the head of the snake. We can change its direction with the cursor keys. The rest of the joints move one position up the chain. The second joint moves where the first was, the third joint where the second was etc.

for (int z = dots; z > 0; z--) {
    x[z] = x[(z - 1)];
    y[z] = y[(z - 1)];
}
This code moves the joints up the chain.

if (leftDirection) {
    x[0] -= DOT_SIZE;
}
This line moves the head to the left.

In the checkCollision() method, we determine if the snake has hit itself or one of the walls.

for (int z = dots; z > 0; z--) {

    if ((z > 4) && (x[0] == x[z]) && (y[0] == y[z])) {
        inGame = false;
    }
}
If the snake hits one of its joints with its head the game is over.

if (y[0] >= B_HEIGHT) {
    inGame = false;
}
The game is finished if the snake hits the bottom of the board.

Snake.java
package com.zetcode;

import java.awt.EventQueue;
import javax.swing.JFrame;


public class Snake extends JFrame {

    public Snake() {

        add(new Board());
       
        setResizable(false);
        pack();
       
        setTitle("Snake");
        setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    }
   

    public static void main(String[] args) {
       
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {              
                JFrame ex = new Snake();
                ex.setVisible(true);              
            }
        });
    }
}

Banking (ICSE Class 10 Mathematics Project)

BANK ACCOUNT A bank account is a financial account between a bank customer and a financial institution. A bank account can be a deposit account, a credit card, or any other type of account offered by a financial institution. The financial transactions which have occurred within a given period of time on a bank account are reported to the customer on a bank statement and the balance of the account at any point in time is the financial position of the customer with the institution. a fund that a customer has entrusted to a bank and from which the customer can make withdrawals. BANK A bank is a financial institution and a financial intermediary that accepts deposits and channels those deposits into lending activities, either directly by loaning or indirectly through capital markets. A bank links together customers that have capital deficits and customers with capital surpluses. The word bank was borrowed in Middle English from Middle French banque, from Old Italian banca

Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan- Class 10 History ICSE Project

Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan listen    (5 September 1888 – 17 April 1975) was an Indian philosopher and statesman who served as the first Vice President of India (1952–1962) and the second President of India (1962-1967). Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was born on September 5, 1888 at Tirutani, Madras in a poor Brahmin family. As his father was poor Radhakrishnan supported most of his education through scholarships.  His father worked as a subordinate revenue official in the service of a local zamindar (landlord) and the family was a modest one. He did not want his son to receive an English education and wanted him to become a priest. But life had other plans for the young boy.   Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan had his early education at Gowdie School, Tiruvallur and then went to the Lutheran Mission School in Tirupati for his high school. He joined the Voorhee's College in Vellore and later switched to the Madras Christian College. He chose Philosophy as his ma
