Alternate Image class constructor that implements scaling. (For use in the 2D Java Game Engine series by Majoolwip)

Image.java

//<insert_package_declaration>

import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Image {
  
    private int width, height;
    private int[] pixels;
    private boolean alpha = false;
  
    public Image(String path, float scale){
        BufferedImage image = null;
        
        // Read file at path
        try {
            image = ImageIO.read(Image.class.getResourceAsStream(path));
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        // Scale dimensions
        width = (int)(image.getWidth() * scale);
        height = (int)(image.getHeight() * scale);

        // Resize image to scaled dimensions
        BufferedImage scaledImage = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
        Graphics2D g2d = scaledImage.createGraphics();
        g2d.drawImage(image, 0, 0, width, height, null);
        g2d.dispose();

        // Save image pixel data to array
        pixels = scaledImage.getRGB(0,0, width, height, null, 0, width);

        image.flush();
    }
}

I used this as a secondary constructor in my project to avoid the hassle of passing 1f when instantiating an Image with it's native resolution, but you could use it as the primary constructor method.
