How to Replace a Bouncing Ball With a Bouncing Bird in Java
Java is an extensive programming language that, even though it is simpler than C++, still requires a great deal of technical expertise and knowledge. Luckily, replacing images in the software is a fairly simple process, even for games that will be distributed soon. If you already have a bouncing ball image, you can easily turn the image into a bird by replacing a single command line in your game's file.

Navigate to the bouncing ball's art. The art will be called into the game with the command line "getResource("filename.png")" without the quotation marks around the outside of the phrase.
-
2
Erase the phrase in parentheses ("filename.png"). This is the exact file that is called to load the art into the game.

Move the bird art to the "Resource" folder of your project. Each project that you create will automatically contain a series of directories inside of it, including the "Resource" folder.

4
Type the name of the bird art into the parenthesis of the "getResource" command with quotation marks around the outside of it.

5
Save the file. The next time you compile and run the program, an image of a bouncing bird will be loaded instead of a bouncing ball.
