I am having a lot of trouble with the game I am supposed to be creating, so I'm going to put it out here for the many minds smarter about this stuff than I am to see if they can let me know whats wrong... I am brand new to programming, especially with Java. and I'm trying to create this Bulls and Cows game. There is supposed to be a menu which I have coded in, however, I don't know how to get the menu items to execute what they are supposed to in accordance with the game... any help with this endeavor would be much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance!
My code so far:
import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
class Main {
public void display_menu();
System.out.println( " 1) new game new player\n2) new game same player\n3) Sort by Score\n4) Sort by Name\n5) Display Top Score Report\n6) Quit Game " );
System.out.print( "Selection: " );
}
public class Main() {
Scanner in = new Scanner ( System.in );
display_menu();
switch ( in.nextInt()) {
case 1:
System.out.println ( "Start New game - New Player" );
break;
case 2:
System.out.println ( "Start new Game - Same player" );
break;
case 3:
System.out.println ( "Here are the scores, highest to lowest: " );
break;
case 4:
System.err.println ( "Here's who has played the game!! " );
break;
case 5:
System.out.println ( "Here are the Top Scores " );
break;
case 6:
System.out.println ( "thanks for paying " );
break;
}}
