I've looked at the documentation and such and I think I'm doing it correctly, but obviously something's wrong. Any ideas? Thanks! [code] import random int1=random.randint(1, 6) … |
| | I am creating a game in which I import images from files to represent characters, etc. I have created a class called Contents which represents anything that can be placed on a tile of the gameboard. A subclass of Contents (by several levels) is Wizard, to create a wizard character. … |
| | Not sure exactly how your reader program is set up, but you could have it read char by char and when it encounters a space (' ') you could instead set the char equal to 0 ('0'). So, [CODE] char readChar; //The character read by the reader if(readChar==' ') readChar='0'; … |

For most objects obj, the .equals(obj) method … |
| | So to get practice writing applets, I tried to write one that simply draws a chessboard in a 160 x 160 window. I am pretty sure I got the code right for both the html and java files, and I have the html file in the same directory as my … |
| | Ok, so I'm trying to make a constructor for a text-based game for a monster. Here is the code for it: [CODE]public class Methods { String name; //characteristics of monsters int bodyPoints, mindPoints, attack, defense; public Monster(String name, int bodyPoints, int mindPoints, int attack, int defense) { this.name=name; this.bodyPoints=bodyPoints; this.mindPoints=mindPoints; … |
| | Hey, so I'm trying to make a text-based game using mostly Swing GUI; the code I have so far is below. When I use JOptionPanes I modify the icon, title, and suchlike on them, so I have about two lines of code for every JOptionPane. I created methods for them … |
