The codes Dots.java and DotsPanel.java is the base code. Edit the code to make them squares instead on circles. Also make each square move at random speed and have the squares "bounce" appropriately off all four sides of the screen.

Instead of drawing dots you will draw squares so add that change.

Add animation using a Timer so that the squares all move when drawn. Make each square move at random speed (in x and y directions), and have the squares "bounce" appropriately off all four sides of the screen.

HINTS:

Create 2 arrays of size 1000 to hold random values between 1 and 10 for the X movements and Y movements. This will allow your rectangles to have independent movement speeds.

You will need to create a ActionListener class similar to what is used in ReboundPanel class.

Inside the Actionistener class you create you will want to reference the X and Y array indexes rather than the static moveX and moveY used in the ReboundPanel.
