2D Game - How To Create A Library Of Tiles
Apr 8, 2014
So I'd like to make like a library of tiles, and it isn't too big, which I could just call using a method, and I would specificy what information I need to get, and it would return that information.
For example, a small section of the tiles library is grass_tile, I call this library and specify what I need, and in this case let's say I need the width, or can the character enter it from north? or can the character just stand on it? So it's like a library or array, with sections of it being named by tiles, and by mentioning these tiles I can information about them.
gTile("grass","walkon") will return true, first because I specifiy grass, and yes the character can walk on grass, so it returns a boolean value of true.
gTile("stone","width") will return 16, first because I specify stone, and the stone's png image size is 16.
What I'm asking is not for how to work out if the character can walk on the tile, or read the width of a tile, but can I create like a library from which I can obtain information by giving the name of the tile, and then telling it what info I need.
If up key pressed && gTile((yTILE + 1).name(),"walkon") == true then moveChar("up")

I am trying to create a Hangman game with a gui. i already have buttons for the letters, each with its own action listener. I'm having difficulties creating the gallows and man.
I have a class called guiTest, which contains all of the letters. This is essentially what i have. Can I add the image to this class, or do I need to create a new class that extends JFrame?
Java Code: import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JButton;

I was following a tutorial on how to make a game when i suddenly got an error concerning moving tiles. i get this error when i tried to use a and d to move:
Exception in thread "Display" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 48600

I do not get the error while using w or s but the tiles are still not moving when pressing them.
I have three classes at work here.
The main, Game.java;
package com.cherno;

For class, we need to create a word game using classes and objects.
The game is played in rounds. The player is presented with a word that is missing letters. The player has to fill in the missing spaces with their letter guesses. The words presented are chosen with a random number generator which has been provided for us. At the end of the game, the player is shown their score.
In steps, I have to:
-Welcome the player.
-Present the puzzle.
-Allow the player to fill in the blanks.
-Have the program check responses for correct/incorrect input.
-End the game if they have three misses, or continue if they complete the puzzle.
Now, to start, I have a class for the number generator, a class to store the array of 25 words, and a class for the game itself.

I am trying to create the Breakout game and cannot figure how to get the paddle to move and make constraints to bricks disappear when the ball hits them but not the paddle. I tried this:
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent press)
{
obj = paddle;
int key = press.getKeyCode();
if(key == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT)
{
while(true)
{
paddle.move();
}
}
}
but I get an error for the "paddle.move();". Below is the entire code that I have gotten so far:

I am attempting to create a 2d game that has a realistic space simulation. The map is supposed to be set so that you are looking from the top down. The problem I am having exists in my interaction between the sun and a planet. Simply put, the planet will only move in a single diagonal direction without ever changing direction. The formulas I am using are F=(G*M1*M2)/D^2 and A=F/M. The code below is simplified.
(inside planet Class)
double x;
double y;
double mass;
double xForce;
double yForce;
double xAccel;
double yAccel;
[Code] ....
Things I have already tried:
1. Setting G to negative
2. changing the order of the subtraction in determining D
3. some weird pythagorean theorem thing someone suggested

You have to create a very basic hangman type of game. Open Notepad and create a list of at least ten words in a text file. Save the file as a .txt file and use it to read words for the game. In this game you do not have to show pictures but you do need to keep track of the amount of times that the user has guessed wrong. When the game starts, show the amount of characters in the word represented as dashes and ask the user to type in a letter. if the user guesses correctly show the word again with the correct letter filled in the correct positions(s) and if the user correctly guessed the word, show a message. If the user guesses wrong, keep track of the body parts that needs to be reduced with every wrong guess and inform the user as well, also show a message.
I'm struggling with reading the file, showing the amount of parts left and asking the user to play again. Here is the code:
package hangman;
/**
*
* @author
*/
import java.nio.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class HangMan {

I am making a tile based top-down 2D RPG and am using Box2D for the physics. Since my game is tile-based, there are many tiles on each map that cannot be moved through. This results in many small individual Box2D bodies. This is obviously very inefficient and makes the game lag. Therefore I figured that combining the individual tiles' bodies into larger complex groups would be better.
The way I thought of doing it is to, first, group together tiles into groups of tiles that all share 2 vertices with at least one other tile in the group. Then, for each group I do the following. First I get all of the uncommon vertices (these should be the ones on the outside of the polygon). Then I connect all of those vertices and then remove all of the overlapping lines. This should result in only lines on the outside of the polygon. Then I sort the lines so that the first line in the sorted array shares its end point with the second line's start point, etc. Then I remove the doubled vertices and using those remaining vertices (I called them the "true vertices") I create the polygon. I know that Box2D only supports convex polygons, but with Box2DSeparator I should be able to do this, but I first want this method to actually work.
/**
* Attempts to combine the given blocks into larger bodies to improve performance.
* @param bs The created wall blocks.
* @param w The world. Used for body creation.
*/
private void makeLargeBodies(Block[][] bs, World w) {
Array<Tile> tiles = new Array<Tile>();
for(int i = 0; i < bs.length; i++) {
[Code] .....
However, this is where the first problem arises. This method is extremely slow for large maps (like 200x200 tiles). I have worked at this for very long and right now my head can't figure out how to make the loop more efficient...
Now for the next part. After that I attempt to create the bodies for the TileGroups:
//create all the groups' bodies
size = groups.size;
System.out.println(size + " groups");
for(int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
TileGroup g = groups.get(i);
System.out.println("Starting group " + i + ".");
long timeCheck = TimeUtils.millis();
g.createBody(w);
System.out.println("Group 0 took " + (TimeUtils.millis() - timeCheck) + " millis");
}
*Note that the printing is for debugging purposes*...
This method is probably not a problem; it is what is inside createBody(World) that is the issue...
public void createBody(World w) {
Array<Vector2> allVertices = new Array<Vector2>();
Array<Vector2> uncommonVertices = new Array<Vector2>();
System.out.print("Starting search for uncommon vertices. ");
long timeCheck = TimeUtils.millis();
[Code] .....
Most of the code is self-explanatory (with comments). My current issue is where I connect the uncommon vertices (see the printed statements). This method does not actually finish (I have let it run for several minutes and it does not complete). This is likely due to a large number of vertices (often around 3000 in a 60x60 map), but I cannot figure out how to make the loop more efficient... Because of this early failure I don't know if the rest of the method works, both physically and in theory.
All relevant classes (Tile, TileGroup, Line) are below:
private class Tile {
private Vector2[] vertices;
private TileGroup group;
public Tile(int x, int y) {
vertices = new Vector2[4];
[Code] ....

I have already tried every possible way for removing this bug but all failed. The problem is that sometimes my player passes through the map tiles, i mean, the algorithm is like -- if not colliding, move in required direction; else if colliding, move in opposite direction. But sometimes the second condition fails i dont understand why.
private void movement(){
left=bindObject.getLeft();
right=bindObject.getRight();
up=bindObject.getUp();
down=bindObject.getDown();
bindObject.setColliding(colliding);
[Code] .....
Where bindObject is a class which contains key bindings of following keys:-
left arrow key (when pressed) , left arrow key (when released),
right arrow key (when pressed), right arrow key (when released),
up arrow key (when pressed), up arrow key (when released),
down arrow key (when pressed), down arrow key (when released)

The game is too have two players, each user clicks a button and two dices will roll, if a user rolls a double they win.
firstly I have started with two imageview's and a button I am trying to randomise two images by clicking one button I have managed to randomise one image in one box but I am struggling to randomise both image views here is my code so far.
import java.util.Random;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

That code is only generating a random dice image in one of the image views I have hit a brick wall

Alright, so I'm having problems with lines 11 - 55. I'm trying to calculate the possible tiles the clicked unit can be moved on and display it to the player.
The field is a 9 (columns) by 5 (rows) grid. A unit with can move tiles horizontally or vertically based on its movement.
Example: (unit = o; possible tiles = x) (assuming movement of 2).
[ ][ ][ ][ ][x][ ][ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ][x][x][x][ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][x][x][o][x][x][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ][x][x][x][][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ][ ][x][ ][ ][ ][ ]
I tried to calculate movement by finding out what column the unit is in, subtracting the column it wants to go to, multiplying the difference by *-1 if the difference is less than 0. Then, doing the same with rows and adding the difference of columns to the difference of rows and comparing it to the unit's movement. Unfortunately, with my code, it seems to move in any directions.
@Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
if (Main.cards.size() > 0) {
mainloop: for (int i = 0; i < Main.cards.size(); i++) {
Card c = (Card) Main.cards.get(i);
int startingColumn = 0;
[Code] ......

Opoly works this way: The board is a circular track of variable length (the user determines the length when the game app runs). There is only one player, who begins the game at position 0.
Thus, if the board length is 20, then the board locations start at position 0 and end at position 19. The player starts with a reward of 100, and the goal of the game is to reach or exceed reward value 1000. When this reward value is reached or exceeded, the game is over. When the game ends, your program should report the number of turns the player has taken, and the final reward amount attained.
In Opoly the game piece advances via a spinner - a device that takes on one of the values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 at random, with each of the five spin values equally likely.
Although the board is circular, you should draw the state of the board as a single "line", using an 'o' to represent the current player position, and * represent all other positions. Thus if the board size is 10, then this board drawing:
**o******
means that the player is at location 2 on the board.
Here are the other Opoly game rules:
If your board piece lands on a board cell that is evenly divisible by 7, your reward doubles.
If you land on the final board cell, you must go back 3 spaces. Thus if the board size is 20, the last position is position 19, and if you land there, you should go back to position 16. (If the position of the last cell is evenly divisible by 7, no extra points are added, but if the new piece location, 3 places back, IS evenly divisible by 7, then extra points ARE added).
If you make it all the way around the board, you get 100 points. Note that if you land exactly on location 0, you first receive 100 extra points (for making it all the around), and then your score is doubled, since 0 is evenly divisible by 7,
Every tenth move (that is, every tenth spin of the spinner, move numbers 10,20,30,... etc.), reduces the reward by 50 points. This penalty is applied up front, as soon as the 10th or 20th or 30th move is made, even if other actions at that instant also apply. Notice that with this rule it's possible for the reward amount to become negative.
Here is the driver class for the game:
import java.util.*;
public class OpolyDriver{
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("Enter an int > 3 - the size of the board");
Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
int boardSize = s.nextInt();
[Code] ....
heres the methods:
REQUIRED CODE STRUCTURE: Your Opoly class must include the following methods (in addition to the Opoly constructor) and must implement the method calls as specified:
playGame - The top-level method that controls the game. No return value, no parameters. Must call drawBoard, displayReport, spinAndMove, isGameOver.
spinAndMove - spins the spinner and then advances the piece according to the rules of the game. No return value, no parameters. Must call spin and move.
spin - generates an integer value from 1 to 5 at random- all equally likely. Returns an integer, no parameters.
move - advances the piece according to the rules of the game. No return value, takes an integer parameter that is a value from 1 to 5.
isGameOver - checks if game termination condition has been met. Returns true if game is over, false otherwise. No parameters.
drawBoard - draws the board using *'s and an o to mark the current board position. Following each board display you should also report the current reward. No return value, no parameters.
displayReport - reports the end of the game, and gives the number of rounds of play, and the final reward. No return value, no parameters.

Im trying to make a tic tac toe game that you play against the computer using a random number generator and two dimensional arrays for the game board. Im not trying to make a GUI, the assignment is to have the board in the console, which I have done. I have run into a few problems with trying to get the computer player to correctly generate 2 integers and have those two integers be a place on the game board. Here is my code so far.

I see you can import in 2 ways:
import java.util.*;
or
import java.util.Scanner/Random/etc;
if I used the first one it imports all the librarys within that (directory?). If so would that add to a bigger file size?

My perfect idea is to have a Hashmap that would increase size each Key & value added, it's almost like a self-increasing array. I mean I could just create a very large Hashmap for me to add objects to anytime I want with a key to be able to find the object. Is this the most efficient way, because I'm trying to make my Object Library compatible with any amount of Objects, however, I know there's a limit to how many values you can have in an array, but it's larger than I'll ever need.
Let's say I'm making a number storage program, and I may need from 3 to 8 numbers to be stored with a key to find them easily using a Hashmap, rarely I may need below 3 or above 8. So is it efficient for me to create a Hashmap that has 10 placeholders? Or can I make this more efficient. Note, my Library is static.
