Question

I have a program where there are two shapes Player1 and Player2, both inherited by the class Player.

Public class Player{

    public int xPos;
    public int yPos;

    // more code

}

The player1 class:

Public class Player1 extends Player{

    public Player(){
        xPos = 200;
        yPos = 200;
    }
    // more code
}

The Player2 class:

Public class Player2 extends Player{

    public Player2(){

        xPos = 400;
        yPos = 200;
    }
// more code
}

In this case, should I use static for the xPos and yPos in the Player class?

Answer 1

If xPos and yPos were static, every instance of a Player would have the same position.
