Question

Just wondering if anyone could help me with the collision method in this program. It doesn't stop the game, like it should when both the runner and the chaser collide.

import java.util.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class SurvivorI {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Project 2 written by Oscar Ortiz");
// Create DrawingPanel and draw a box in the panel.
// The box is a square of this size.
int boxSize = 760;
DrawingPanel panel = new DrawingPanel(800, 800);
Graphics g = panel.getGraphics();
g.fillRect(10, 10, 10, 780);
g.fillRect(10, 10, 780, 10);
g.fillRect(780, 10, 10, 780);
g.fillRect(10, 780, 780, 10);
  
// Initialize positions of runner and chaser.
Point runner = new Point(200, 400);
Point chaser = new Point(600, 400);
  
// Variable for input from user to move runner.
char keyInput = ' ';
  
// The program should wait sleepTime ms between moves.
int sleepTime = 100;
  
// The runner should move moveSize (or zero) pixels each time step.
// The chaser should move moveSize - 1 pixels each time step.
int moveSize = 10;
  
// Display players using Color.GREEN and Color.RED (or whatever colors you want).
  
  
// Wait one second before start of game.
panel.sleep(1000);
  
// NEED TO PUT SOME OF THESE STATEMENTS IN A FOR LOOP
// Erase players from the panel using Color.WHITE.
for (int i=0; i<=300; i++) {
erasePlayers(panel, runner, chaser);
  
// Get input from user if any.
char newKeyInput = panel.getKeyChar();
if (newKeyInput == 'w' || newKeyInput == 'a' || newKeyInput == 's' || newKeyInput == 'd') {
keyInput = newKeyInput;
  
}
legalMove(runner,chaser);  
// Move the players according to parameters.
movePlayers(runner, chaser, keyInput, boxSize, moveSize);
  
  
  
// Display players using Color.GREEN and Color.RED (or whatever colors you want).
displayPlayers(panel, runner, chaser);
  
// Game is over if the chaser catches up to the runner.
if (true == collision(runner, chaser)) {   
System.out.println("YOU LOST!!!");
// panel.close();
break;
}
  
// Wait sleepTime ms between moves.
panel.sleep(sleepTime);
  
// NEED AN IF STATEMENT TO DETERMINE WHEN TO PRINT THIS.
if (i == 300 && false == collision(runner, chaser)) {
System.out.println("YOU WON!!!");
}
}
}
public static void displayPlayers(DrawingPanel panel, Point runner, Point chaser) {
Graphics g = panel.getGraphics();
  
g.setColor(Color.GREEN);
g.fillRect(runner.x,runner.y,10,10);

return Math.sqrt(Math.pow(point1.getX() - point2.getX(),2) + Math.pow(point1.getY() - point2.getY(),2));
}
public static void chaserMovement(Point runner, Point chaser, int moveSize){
double distanceW = distanceMethod(runner, new Point(chaser.x,chaser.y-10));
double distanceA = distanceMethod(runner, new Point(chaser.x-10,chaser.y));
double distanceS = distanceMethod(runner, new Point(chaser.x, chaser.y+10));

if(distanceW<=distanceA && distanceW<=distanceS && distanceW<=distanceD){

}
if(distanceA <=distanceS && distanceA <= distanceD && distanceA<=distanceW){

}
if (chaser.x >= 780 - 20) {
chaser.x = 780 - 20;
}
  
if (chaser.x <= 10 + 20) {
chaser.x = 10 + 20;
}
  
if (chaser.y >= 780 - 20) {
chaser.y = 780 - 20;
}
  
if (chaser.y <= 10 + 20) {
chaser.y = 10 + 20;
}
}
public static boolean collision(Point runner, Point chaser){
if(chaser.getX() <= runner.getX()+11 && chaser.getY() <= runner.getY()){
return true;
}

else {
return false;
}
}
}

I am having trouble getting the collision method to actually stop the game. Help would be appreciated. Thanks!
