  • \$\begingroup\$ In the future, it would help if you make life easier for reviewers and explain a bit about what your code does. Simple examples of images of input/output or similar is extremely helpful, and is likely to give your question more attention. \$\endgroup\$ – Simon Forsberg Mar 6 '14 at 11:11

There are a number of things to comment on here.

Code-Style

Java coding style puts the { opening brace at the end of the line containing the condition/construct that starts the block. Code like:

public char getFirstLetter()
{
    return firstLetter;
}

should be:

public char getFirstLetter() {
    return firstLetter;
}

Additionally, there should be an empty line after the closing } and the start of the next method declaration.

Threads

You are using swing, yet I cannot see any places where you are accommodating work that is done on the Event Dispatch Thread (EDT) vs. your game thread.

This is likely to lead to inconsistent gameplay, irregular timing, and other problems.... especially during the manipulation of the Graphics objects.

Terminology

I am not seeing a Finite Automata here... this looks pretty open-ended, not finite.

Magic Numbers

These are everywhere. There must be a better way to centralize them.

Integer Arithmetic

This line:

double ns = 1000000000 / framesPerSecond;

is doing integer arithmetic, in your case, you would expect ns to be 33333333.33..... but it will be plain 33333333.0 because the integer division is done before the value is converted to a double. Consider using:

double ns = 1000000000.0 / framesPerSecond;

which converts the one value to a double, and thus the entire expresion is evaluated in the double-precision space.

in this case, the loss of accuracy will likely not significantly affect the game, but you should be aware.
