The game I am working on now is an overhead game. Anyways I have a visual issues with the sprites where they overlap. I mean its normal to have sprites overlap but I do not want one to appear like it is walking on top of the other rather than the ground. The below is an image illustration the issue I want to address. (I am really good at drawing)
On the right you see what I want my sprites to do, but on left you see overlap in the way I am trying to avoid.
Now my approach to this problem is taking my array of monsters (a class that extends JLabels) and reordering them based on which monster is higher I make this occur at every run of my thread. It seems to me that if a monster is higher it should be added to the screen before the one that is lower. So I try to keep resorting the array of monsters at every iteration of my main game loop based on who is higher to account for the overlap
if (e.getSource() == follower){
c =0;
for (monster m: monsters) {
//Arrays.sort(monsters, new whoHigherComparator()); //I tried having the sort happen here
m.movingToPlayer(joe);//1
Arrays.sort(monsters, new whoHigherComparator());//2
layeredScene1.add(m, new Integer(3));//3
[code]...
The above is code that shows the majority of my games flow I will describe my flow with references to the commented lines above with [num] for better understanding of where I am coming from. Basically, there is a set number of monsters, the monster all locate and move to the player [1], then I attempt to sort the monster array based on height [2], then add my re-sorted monsters back onto the pane in order [3], then bumpers (a type that handle collision and make sure monsters don't overlap too much) attach the current monster [4], if bumpers are touching monsters arae moved away from each other until their bumpers are no longer touching [5], if the monster is moving leftwards set the animation to a leftwards walk [6], and likewise for rightwards walking [7]
By the way this is my comparator
public class whoHigherComparator implements Comparator<monster>
{
@Override
public int compare(monster m1, monster m2) {
System.out.println("comping?");
int h1 = m1.getY();
int h2 = m2.getY();
if (h1 < h2)
[code]...
At this point everything in my game flow works just fine, its just the annoying "walking on top of each other" effect that I am having trouble handling. And my attempt at this is line [2] & [3] from my game flow which seems like it would be an effective way to handle the "walking on top of another" effect but its surely not working. I also swapped the returns from my comparator but still no changes. It seems that maybe the array isn't being sorted and/or these changes are just not being reflected.
I have studied about the hierarchy of exception classes in which Throwable class comes at the top and two of its direct subclasses are Error and Exception..I just want to ask if in some code snippet we throw an instance of Error or its subclass within the try catch block then will that be also called "exception handling" ? I am asking this because Error class is not a child class of Exception therefore cant be said an Exception, therefore handling the same should not be called exception handling

To limit the amount of drawing done i want unmoving objects to be painted once. So i set a boolean. When it first load the boolean is false so it draws then after first draw i never want it to draw the objects agian but leave them on the screen. Now in this if you run it you get a black screen.
If you didnt have the "getContentPane().setBackground(Color.black)" it would work fine and show a blue brick. Is there something I don't understand about the setBackgound Function that makes it automatically redone even when not called? and if so how do i overwrite this?
I am currently in the process of making a game in java. it's going fairly well, however, one problem that i am having is that i cant seem to get my enemy sprites not stack up onto one another. What i want to happen is if two enemy sprites come in contact with one another i want them to touch but not to overlap. However, i cant seem to get this to work.
This is the enemy class:
import java.awt.Graphics; import java.awt.Image; import java.awt.Rectangle; import java.util.ArrayList; import javax.swing.ImageIcon; public class Enemy extends Base { int x; int y;
how I would go about having a moving sprite on a page, such as a virtual pet kind of thing. I've tried searching for it through the years and I've tried it with what I know on my own, but things just act up every time. Either:
A.) The sprite moves (respondent to key strokes, of course), but leaves a trail of its image behind itself.
B.) The background image writes, but for some reason the second image does not write, or is lost behind the background.
I'm sure these are simple issues for most of you, but I've tried going about this for a while now with no luck. What I'm trying to do I'm trying to write a virtual pet game, and I would eventually love to make it move around randomly like an A.I. that's pathfinding, but I've got ideas about that, just I need to know how to make it move period first, everything else I think I could figure out on my own.
I am currently making a platformer game which involves a scrolling panel and a sprite. My intention is for the sprite to be able to jump. My code for the frame that the scrolling panel sits on looks like this:
Currently I have the sprite (jumpMan) displayed on the JumpPanel. This is where I have a key listener that intends to control the jumping of the sprite by incrementally moving the sprite through the space to simulate jumping slightly more accurately. The JumpPanel is laid on top of a panel called the GamePanel which sits between the main frame and the JumpPanel. I currently have a timer on the main frame which is firing off the action listener every 5ms.
My hope was that the action performed would repaint at intervals so that the you would be able to see the sprite at different stages of the jump and then as it descends as well. However when I try to make the sprite jump nothing happens, nothing changes on the screen - when I debug through I can see the code going into both the keyPressed and actionPerformed methods but this doesn't seem to do anything.
I created a GUI using Java with Buttons, Pictures and labels.When one of the buttons is pressed it increases the price, which can be seen by the labels increasing the necessary amount.What I would like to be able to do in my GUI is allow the user to record details of the sale and be able to display the sales of past customers to date, by this I mean when I click one of the buttons it will record the amount of that item into a file and when I press the another button, not the same button as the items, it will show the user the existing orders that have been taken in the past.
Is there any connection between packages and exception handling in java. Means is it necessary to create a package before trying exception handling examples?
Is there a special mechanism through which exception can be handled in a constructor?
Suppose while creation of an object there occurred an exception while creating an object, and the object is half constructed. How do we make sure we handle this kind of exceptions in a constructor?
I found an exercise online to create a small program . I have this code that I have done so far:
import java.util.Scanner; public class Test { public static void main(String args[]) { Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); long a = sc.nextLong(); long b = sc.nextLong(); long count = 0; // counter
[code]....
The program should read the numbers a and b and list how many numbers between a and b are divisible by either 2, 3 or 5. If the user types the number 5 and then 8.... it would look at all the numbers in between - 5,6,7,8 and check if any of them are divasable by either 2,3 or 5. And since the numbers 5,6,8 are it would return the number 3 to the user..Now the problem is that this program only works for small numbers, but when I try to input numbers such as 123456789012345678 and 876543210987654321... it doesn't run at all.
So there needs to be a quicker way on how the program checks the numbers divisibility instead of checking each one. Here is where I am lost. How to fix the program that it will read bigger numbers such as a=123456789012345678 b=87654321098765432..There must be a quicker way ...something that can modify the code so it finishes in the matter of seconds not hours. Something that will fasten the process of checking if the numbers are dividable.
For one of my last labs for the semester, my professor is having the class go back to our very first program and apply some of the exception handling that we just recently learned about. Here's my improved code so far:
Java Code: import java.util.*; import java.lang.*; public class Lab2Part1 { public static void main (String [] args) { Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);

My code compiles fine, but even if I enter an integer or a double, it saves the number as a string, and prints that out as the name. Is there any way to get around this? Or do I need to use something besides a try-catch?
On click of the ok button from a JSF page, a servlet is called on a new window. Servlet creates a CSV file , which will be streamed back for a download. Now if there is a error in the servlet, how can this be shown in the parent JSF?
I have been working on a problem dealing with exception handling and text input output for a few days now. The exercise is a two part exercise. The first part of the exercise I have to write a program to display the total salary for assistant professors, associate professors, full professors, and all faculty, respectively, and display the average salary for assistant professors, associate professors, full professors, and all faculty, respectfully using the what is posted on the [URL] .... Each line in the file consists of a faculty member's first name, last name, rank, and salary. The second part of the exercise I have to take my code and change it so that it
-lets the user enter the name of the file to be read, -Uses a try-catch block to handle the FileNotFoundException displaying instead The file already exists.. ... Use a second catch block to ignore any other exception thrown. ... Design your code so that, if the user enters a file that does not exist, the program prompts the user to enter again a file name.
and I need to Note: In order to catch the FileNotFoundException, you need to include import
I have done this a few times but I want to make sure I am doing it correctly. In other words creating a clean understandable program. Instead of posting code I will just talk about this is my plan:
Create a model (getter and setters) Create a view (via swing) Create a controller (pass the model and view in the parameter)
Database DatabaseConnection: Use the singleton pattern
Database: Create an interface called Database with all the queries I will need (insert, delete etc) Create a class called DataBaseDAO and implement the interface database and get an instance of the DatabaseConnection.
Tying it all together:
In the controller should I use the "new" operator and create a new database class or extend the database class? I am thinking I should not do it in the controllers constructor but make a field if I use the "new" operator like:
private Database db = new Database(); Create a class called App Create a new Model Create a new View Pass the view and model into the controllers parameter.
Am I on the right track? Is this messy? Is there a better way of doing it?
Assume we have 2 files that are input.txt and output.txt Input.txt has Name||Age||email||contact No||Name1||age1||email1||contact No1||name2||Age2||email2||contact no2||etc...
initially the output.txt does not have any record.using a java program we have to make it as
Names in the input file:Name,Name1,Name2,Name3 Ages in the input file:Age,Age1,Age2,Age3 email id in the file: email, email1, email2 Contact no in the file:contact no, contact no1,contact no2
I have a GUI that prompts the user for information. When they click 'submit', a new customer gets created from a class like so ...
Java Code:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) { Customer customer = new Customer(); // New customer object customer.name = view.getName(); customer.age = Integer.parseInt(view.getAge()); customer.ccn = view.getCCNumber(); mh_sh_highlight_all('java'); I am having difficulties validating my variables for nulls. For instance ...
Java Code:
// METHOD TO RETRIEVE TEXTBOX INPUT -- NAME public String getName() { String name = null; if (jtfFirstName.getText() == null || jtfLastName.getText() == null || !jtfFirstName.getText().matches("[a-zA-Z]+") || jtfLastName.getText().matches("[a-zA-Z]+")){ // Validate name fields JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "<html><i>Improper Input Detected.</i>
[code]...
I can't seem to win with this. Whether the fields are filled in properly or not, I get the error message and the program continues to completion using the name "null".
I am calculating an exponent without using BigInteger. However, I find that using long is not enough to handle my code. Is there a way to handle large numbers without using BigInteger?
public static void main (String[] args){ int base = 3; int exponent; long total = 1L; boolean n; Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
I'm making a program that finds the maximum, minimum, and average values in an integer input ended with a negative number. For example, 4 5 6 -1 is min:4, max:6, and average:5.
It's supposed to handle faulty input in two situations:
1.When an input other than integers is given, the user is given a second chance to give a proper input.
2.When no numbers are given (which is only possible by giving nothing but the negative number end mark), an error message is given because diving by zero integers is impossible.
All the math works fine, but for some reason a proper input in the second chance doesn't. Failing the second chance works, and giving proper input all the way through works. If I fail the first input and then give a proper integer input on the second chance, the program skips over the calculation and gives the divide by zero error. All I could understand from the debugger is that the program is recognizing whatever the first number in that input is, but still keeps the number of numbers as zero (so it's not looping to compare all the numbers in the line either).
import java.util.Scanner; public class FindNumbers implements FindNumbersInterface { double average; double sum; int numberOfNumbers; int total;

->When the user request for a file that is not exists i want to redirect to a valid url where i can inform him that the file does not exists. ->I am trying to use the properties messages for the language that the user has. I want to use it cause i want to reuse some of the message and it is easier to translate the page to other languages. How when the browser has a default page English to let user change the language to Italian for example but for all page.

I know I can calculate the sum of squares as such:
// SumSquares.java: calculate the sum of two squares class SumSquares { static int sumSquares(int a, int B)/>/> { int asquare; int bsquare;
[Code] ....
But how can I modify the code so that it inputs a list of integer values in the range of -100 to 100 from the keyboard and computes the sum of the squares input values. And how would I go about using exception handling to ensure that the input values are in range and are legal integers.
I am supposed to make a code which can handle fractions as a calculator in the form of 1_1/2 + 1 = 2_1/2
