Code Space Invaders in Java

Code space invaders game in java.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to code space invaders with the built-in java awt/swing graphics library. Throughout the tutorial, you will learn how to create the game loop, create a jframe and jpanel, draw images on the jpanel, add click handlers to move the ship and fire bullets, randomly generate space invader aliens and move them across the screen, detect collisions between the bullets and aliens, and add a running score. In addition, you will learn how to reset the game and randomly generate aliens of different colors every time a set of aliens have been cleared.

I'm a Japanese student studying programming. I find this very helpful.
I would like to have aliens of the same color in each row.
Could you tell me how to do this? For example, only yellow alien in the first row, only cyan alien in the second row, etc.
