Java 2D Game - Implementing Simultaneous Keystrokes
Jan 1, 2014
In my Java 2D game, two tanks are controlled as follows:
Tank 1
- Move forward: UP arrow
- Adjust angle of movement: LEFT and RIGHT arrows
Tank 2
- Move forward: W key
- Adjust angle of movement: A and D keys
It is possible to adjust the angle of a tank while it's moving forward (e.g., striking the left arrow or the right arrow while striking the up arrow). It's also possible to move both tanks forward simultaneously.
However, while one tank is moving forward and changing its angle (e.g., striking the up and the left/right key at the same time), the other tank is only able to move forward. That is to say, it cannot adjust its angle (e.g., striking W and A at the same time won't work, while the other tank is doing the same thing; the A key is ignored).
Why is that? Here's the relevant code:
In the Board class, that has most of the game logic:
Java Code:
while( game_is_running ) {
keysPressed1 = tank1.getKeys();
keysPressed2 = tank2.getKeys();
if(keysPressed1[0]==true)tank1.setAngle(tank1.getAngle()-3);
if(keysPressed1[1]==true)tank1.setAngle(tank1.getAngle()+3);
if(keysPressed1[2]==true){
[Code] .....
You will probably suggest I use Key Bindings, but is there a way to still use KeyListener and have all buttons work at the same time without errors?

I am facing with a JAVA code needed for my assignment.We are implementing a Card Game.. There is a Card Class which i have not included in the code below .We have a Dec class that has various arrays..
privateCard[] masterPack >> Is a master Pack that is initialized once and has all the 52 cards.
private Card[] cards >> Is the array that has the card values from masterPack array.
My problem is :
After I called the Deck object D1, it goes to the Deck COnstrucutor OK.It then populates the values of masterPack as per the allowmasterPack method.Then it stores the values of masterPack into cards array in the init method..I get an exception when line below is executed..
cards[pack * 52 + k]= masterPack[k];
I get a java.lang.NullPointerException error..
public class debug
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int pack = 1;
Dec D1;
D1 = new Dec(pack);

So I have basic java knowledge from 1st year of college and I wrote a program recently that sends keystrokes with the Robot class. Now I would like it to do the same but to send it to a window that isn't my active one.. I've searched and from what Ive found it seems like you cant do that in java, I need another language like C# (whick sux for me since i dont know any other then java).. Is this true? If not how would i send something to notepad for example while it is not the active window?

I am developing a game where a player has to find a path in a maze. Right now the player can only click the buttons on the maze. I need an option to use the arrow keys.
I have picked up pieces from my code to illustrate my problem. Below is the code. If I call "AnyClass" in the "AppletClass" it works but when I call "MiddleClass" in the "AppletClass" and MiddleClass" calls "AnyClass" it does not work. In my project at www.hiredforoneday.com I call 4 panels in CardLayout before I call "AnyClass" which is the "Maze"
package keymapingincardlayout;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

i was leaning inheritance and tried to implement it in Java.This is my base class vehicl.java
public class vehicle{
private int topSpeed;
private int cubicCap;
private String modelName;
private boolean hasAlloy;
[code]...
I also have a derived class called car.java.What i wanted to do in the derived class was that i wanted to override the constructor as well as the getInfo() method from the base class.I wanted to add an additional attribute to the car "numberSeats" and display tat too when the object to car class calls the getInfo() method .It showed an error "identifier required" when i tried to compile car.java program.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class car extends vehicle{
//int numberSeats;
//System.out.println("Enter the number of Seats");
Scanner numberSeats=new Scanner(System.in);
numberSeats=numberSeats.nextInt();
//System.out.println(numberSeats.nextInt());
[code]....
explain the errors that i get when i tried to compile car.java without using super keyword or without defining the constructor from the Car class ?

i have been given a homework assignment where I have to get rid of a stack object I wrote for a program and replace it with the Stack<E> library java offers ie:
public class Stack<E> extends Vector<E> {
public Stack(); // constructor
public Boolean empty();
public E peek();
public E pop();
public E push(E item);
}
my question is do i have to actually write all these methods? Or can i just construct a stack and use the methods?

I have a gameengine stil partially in the works for pc made in java, I am attempting a port over to java but certain classes and other fuctions are not available for android that there is in java. this means that my render engine, gameengine and a couple of other clases therefore don't work.
My question is, is there anyway of using the gameengine classes that work into the project so that all i have to do is declare within the engine what i want to export for wheather this is android or java. or importing packages from the game engine project and directly linking with the ability of re-writing the odd few classes that do not work.

You're given a number between 0 and 1 that corresponds to the probability of an event occurring.
0.7 is 70%, 0.235 is 23.5%, 0 is 0%, etc.
Someone tries to perform the event, but the event only has the given probability of occurring. Run the probability, and then if it's true, run the event. Otherwise don't run the event.
All I know how to do is generate random numbers (kind of), but if you have 0.2245 I really don't see how generating random numbers can efficiently perform that probability.....

I'm building this custom project in stages, and I'm having difficulty getting the health of the player and the enemy to change. Upon compiling, I'll select weapon 1, then choose action 1 (basic attack), and the health of both the player and the enemy will stay at 15 and 10.There are no errors when compiling.

I'm working on a Java matching game and I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around it. What I'm having trouble with is how exactly to create an array so that my squares have random values. Then how do I get it to reveal and compare those values by clicking on two of them? Here is what I have so far:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;

The game has two players: x and o. The players take alternate turns, with player x moving first at the beginning of each game.
Player x starts at position (1,1) while o starts at (8,8).
Each turn, a player can move like a queen in chess (in any of the eight directions) as long as her path does not cross a square already filled in or occupied. After moving, the space vacated by the player is designated as filled and cannot be moved to again. Notice that only the space that was occupied is filled, not the entire path.
The game ends when one player can no longer move, leaving the other player as the winner.
The coordinate (1 1) indicates the top left hand side of the board.
The board is specified as a list of rows. Each row is a list of entries:
- is an empty square * is a filled in square x is the current position of the x player o is the current position of the o player
The board will always be 8 by 8.
Your player function should take in the parameters as described above and return a move as a list in the format (row column) within 1 minute. If you cannot move, return (nil nil). The Tournament Referees will check for this. If you return an illegal move, the other player (and the Tournament Referees) will detect it and you will lose.
Additionally if your time expires you will lose.

I'm trying to create a tile based map JPanel but all I get is a white screen. I'm fairly new to the Java Swing and AWT package so I've been watching tutorials on YouTube so learn as much as I can.
I've got three classes: Window.java which includes the Main method, Panel.java which is the JPanel and Tile.java to draw all the images into an array.
Window.java:
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class Window extends JFrame {
public Window() {
setTitle("Project");
setSize(500, 400);
[Code] .....
I've checked through everything and still cannot find what I'm doing wrong. I did try different codes but I just got errors instead.

So I am creating a game in Java, the game works fine when I run it in Eclipse but when I export it it does not draw anything on the screen.
I added a try and catch for nullpointerexceptions but the game does not throw any nullpointerexceptions.
What is the problem?
The game seems to be finding all the images & resources since it does not throw any NullPointerExceptions...

Java Code:

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public Game() {
setMinimumSize(new Dimension(width, height));
setMaximumSize(new Dimension(width, height));
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(width, height));
}
[code]...
I want to remove the extends Canvas from the top line and when I use JFrame to add canvas, I don't do add.(this, but instead I do add a canvas variable I make. So instead of extending I want to make a variable. But then how would I do the start, stop and run?I want to use Graphics, Canvas (Not Jpanel because I want to use BufferedImage) & JFrame. I don't want to extend Canvas, how could I use Canvas identically to shown above but instead of extending using it as a variable? or, how could I do this?

"A common memory matching game played by young children is to start with a deck of cards that contain identical pairs. For example, given six cards in the deck, two might be labeled
1, two might be labeled
2 and two might be labeled
3. The cards are shuffled and placed face down on the table.
The player then selects two cards that are face down, turns them face up, and if they match they are left face up. If the two cards do not match they are returned to their original position face down. The game continues in this fashion until all cards are face up.Write a program that plays the memory matching game. Use sixteen cards that are laid out in a 4x4 square and are labeled with pairs of numbers from 1 to 8. Your program should allow the player to specify the cards that she would like to select through a coordinate system.For example in the following layout:
1 2 3 4
--------------------
1 | 8 * * *
2 | * * * *
3 | * 8 * *
4 | * * * *
All of the cards are face down except for the pair 8 which has been located at coordinates (1,1) and (2,3). To hide the cards that have been temporarily placed face up, output a large number of newlines to force the old board off the screen.Use 2D array for the arrangement of cards and another 2D array that indicates if a card is face up or face down.Or, a more elegant solution is to create a single 2D array where each element is an object that stores both the cards value and face.Write a function that shuffles the cards in the array by repeatedly selecting two cards at random and swapping them.
Note:To generate a random number x, where 0<= x <1, use x=Math.random();.For example, multiplying y six and converting to an integer results in an integer that is from 0 to 5."I have been thinking about the algorithm and design of the question for a few hours.

Anyway I am creating a game for my A2 coursework, most commonly known as Checkers. I have completed my code and everything works as I had planned except that the CheckerBoard itself as well as the checkerpieces do not appear to be showing.
The section of were my board should be present is just a black space. Although my board does not appear to be displaying, all of the actions I perform on it such as clicking certain section produces the planned response, and although I've checked through my code I cannot work out what I've done wrong.
CheckerBoard content = new CheckerBoard(); // Sets the CheckerBoard values into the content to be used in the next line
application.setContentPane(content); // Container holds the values together, Content pane of the CheckerBoard
application.pack(); // Use preferred size of content to set size of application.
Dimension screensize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
application.setLocation( (screensize.width - application.getWidth())/2,
(screensize.height - application.getHeight())/2 );
[Code] ....
I have noticed is that within the BoardComplete(), if you change the setBackground(Color.BLACK) to WHITE, it will change the colour of the section to white, but the checkboard is still unshown.

The instructions for the game are The computer generates a random # and the user must guess that number in 7 or fewer guesses. If the guesses exceed 7, then the game is over and the user is asked if they want to 'play again?'These are things I need to incorporate into my code:
If Statement

At least two methods you create
Obtains input from the user
At least two instance variables

Recursion in a MineSweeper game. So far, when a user clicks on a square and it has a bomb on it, I reveal the bomb to the user - see clicked(). I also have the ability to show the user if the squares surrounding them have any adjacent bombs - see countAdjacentSquares().
However, I am having trouble with my fillZeros() recursive method. When a user clicks on a square that has zero bombs in its surrounding squares, it not only reveals that square, but also any adjacent squares (horizontally, vertically or diagonally adjacent) that also have zero bombs in its surrounding squares.
I don't have any recursion, if I click on a square with no bombs all it does it set the square to 0, but doesn't continue to check for other empty squares.
Java Code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Square extends GameSquare
{
private boolean revealed = false;
private boolean squareHasBomb = false;
public static final int MINE_PROBABILITY = 10;
public int mineCount = 0;

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.
