hi everyone
i am building this java command line game. it is called counting numbers game. here is the detail descripbing of the game
This game consists of 10 questions which are broken down into 3 game rounds. See below for rules regarding the game rounds:
Round 1
This round consists of four questions, questions 1 through 4. For each question in this round, four (4) random numbers, between 1 to 15, must be generated. The player is then required to re-arrange or enter the numbers from smallest to largest based on the four (4) generated numbers.
For example and any given question, if the four (4) random generated numbers were 9, 6, 2,13 then the user would have to enter 2, 6 ,9 and 13 to correctly answer this question.
Round 2
Like Round 1, this round consists of four (4) questions, however, questions 5 through 8. For each question in this round, four (4) random numbers, between 1 to 30, must be generated. The player is then required to re-arrange or enter the numbers from smallest to largest based on the four (4) generated numbers.
For example and any given question, if the four random generated numbers were 30, 2, 19,7 then the user would have to enter 2, 7 ,19 and 30 to correctly answer this question.
Round 3
This round consists of two (2) questions, question 9 and 10. For each question in this round, 4 random numbers, between 1 to 30 must be generated. Unlike the questions in the previous rounds, the player is then required to re-arrange or enter the number from largest to smallest based on the 4 generated numbers.
For example and any given question, if the four random generated numbers were 26, 1, 30,17 then the user would have to enter 30, 26 ,17 and 1 to correctly answer this question.
This is the expected output of this game
Assume Josanne is player one and Marrissa is player two, see below an example of how the program should function and operate:
Player 1, Question 1 (Round 1): Josanne, re-arrange the following numbers 2, 8,13,7 from smallest to largest
Enter the smallest number: 2
Enter the next subsequent number: 7
Enter the next subsequent number: 8
Enter the largest number: 13
Josanne, you correctly arranged the generated numbers from smallest to largest for question 1.
You earn 50 points and you progress to the next question.
Marrissa you are up next!
Player 2, Question 1 (Round 1): Marrissa, re-arrange the following numbers 12, 15, 5, 2 from smallest to largest
Enter the smallest number: 2
Enter the next subsequent number: 5
Enter the next subsequent number: 15
Enter the largest number: 12
Unfortunately, Marrissa you incorrectly arranged the generated numbers from smallest to largest for question 1, thus you lose 10 points and you do not progress to the next question.
Josanne you are up next!
the thing is when i give it a trial run, I am not getting the int random = new random() to work. it is supposed to generate 4 numbers as you can see in the details decription.
it is looping also when it hit the smallest and largest line and also when hit it the line that say, lets try this one more time. I have only three weeks to hand this program and I really need some help. and can u take a look at the rest of my codes to see where I have gone wrong and how do i get the program to work program. how do i implement the other questions here is a my codes and the output
ublic static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sentin = new Scanner (System.in);// scanner object is to get user input
Random gen = new Random(); // to generate random numbers
//stsart main
int randnum;
String p1,p2, welcomemsg, rulesofgame;
int age, age2, numtries = 0;
int scores = 0;//this is used in order to keep track of scores
int largest = 0, smallest = 0, value = 0, totcount = 0;
int playagain = 3, keyin = 0; // this is used to keep track on how many they need to play again
int ans; //this is used to place all answers
int levcomp;
int i = 0;// is used to keep track of the failed attempt
int count = 0;//used to keep track of the count
int score = 0;

Welcome Students, To the School of Hard Knocks!!!!!
Today we are about to learn to count numbers
I am looking for two players to play a game of counting numbers, who is going to be the two players?
K'Ionda, Lorraine, anyone, okay lets take K'Ionda and Lorraine to play
Lets see how good you both are at counting numbers
The rules of the game are that both players must between the ages of 5 and 10
The rules states that each players have a miinimum of three atempts
The game will be forfeited if each players answer the three questions wrong
If a player get three question wrong, the other player automatically wins the game
The numbers are generated randomly, so the players will input the numbers from smallest to largest
Another one also is from the largest to the smallest
for every correct answer 15 points are given and for every wrong answer 5 points are deducted
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So ah guess you guys are ready to have some fun
let's go!!!
player1 what is your name?
K'Ionda
player1 how old are you?
9
player2 what is your name?
lorraine
player2 how old are you?
8
well okay lets get started on this game
the era we are living in now, leaves one to wonder 9
let's move on to round 1
re-arrange these number from smallest to largest
1256
1146
0:0
enter the count value you both want to start with.
enter the count between 1 to 15 to count fro the smallest to largest
boombomclat man, start over, p1:
count
lets try this one more time
re-enter the count you would like to start from
it must between 1 to 15
2468
that it am done, no more numtries left
boombomclat man, start over, p1:
count
lets try this one more time
re-enter the count you would like to start from
it must between 1 to 15
3689
that it am done, no more numtries left
boombomclat man, start over, p1:
count
lets try this one more time
re-enter the count you would like to start from
it must between 1 to 15
you see where it keep looping and it supposed to generate random numbers and it is not doing that. can someone please tell me where i have gone and what to
many thanks in advance. have three weeks to hand this in
