Java Matching Game
Apr 14, 2015
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;

"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.

Making a memory game where you click a square it turns over an image and you match the two pretty simple. My issue is my images are not displaying and I am not sure why everything looks correct to me.
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.Random;
public class MemoryApp extends JFrame {

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class LotteryTester {
public static void main(String[] args) {
LotteryApplication lottery = new LotteryApplication();
int lotteryNumbersCount = lottery.getLotteryNumbers().length;
[Code] ....
Everything works fine but when I run it the matching numbers tends to be off. For example I will type Enter in 1,1,1,1,1 for my 5 numbers. The lottery numbers will be 5,3,4,5,8 and it will say 1 number matched.

I need to write a program that checks whether a Java source-code file has correct pairs of grouping symbols and the program must implement the Stack<E> class to solve this problem.
Here is the file:
[a({b,c}x{d,e})%x]
(1+(2-3)/4+[(a-({b+c}*5)/2)+e]
(a{b(c]}a)
I tried something like this, but I'm not exactly sure what I am doing wrong:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Stack;

I am trying to write a program that checks for parentheses matching using stacks.This is my ArrayStack class.
public class ArrayStack{
private final int DEFAULT_SIZE=10;
public int tos;
Object[] array;
public ArrayStack(){
array=new Object[DEFAULT_SIZE];
[Code] ....
But the problem is when I compile matching I get an error as unreported exception EmptyStackException.must be caught or declared to be thrown. I think the problem is with exceptions which I don't have a good knowledge of.

I'm creating a card game and I'm having trouble getting a card gif to display. A card is drawn from an 52 card deck arraylist, and I then need to match that drawn card with the similarly named gif in an arraylist of card gifs, to display the gif on a card GUI. I have put my game, card, deck and graphical class below:
Card -
public class Card {
public String number;
public String suit;
public Card(String n, String s) {
number = n;
suit = s;
[Code] ....
The arrayList of card gifs (which contains all 52 gifs for the cards) is in the graphical class and my arrayList that contains the deck of cards in textual form (that I've imported from a textfile) is in deck. The names of the gifs in the gif arraylist are the same as the card names in my textual card arraylist (for example, 3h.gif is 3h in my card arraylist), so I believe I can use a .equals statement to match the card that has been drawn to the gif.
Here is what the gifs look like in their folder, which is an arraylist in my graphical class :
Here is what the drawn card looks like after the textual card arraylist has been shuffled:
The brown card in that image isn't the displayed card that has been drawn, it's just a graphical deck that I put in, I can't get the card that has been drawn on the GUI to display on the actual card frame, as you can see.

I want my function to return an array, with the array holding just the values of data that appear in good.
This is what should be returned:
{3, 5, 3, 2, 3, 3}
What is currently being returned:
{0, 3, 5, 3}
I didn't want to miss any numbers, so I decided to iterate through j for the "good" array, and then just i for the one that I was looking for matching numbers. Perhaps part of the problem is that if the condition is met, it goes to the next iteration of the loop. I'm not sure.
public class Arrays2 {
public static void main(String args[]){
int [] data = {8, 3, 5, 3, 7, 2, 8, 3, 3 };
int [] good = {5, 2, 3, 2};
int [] result = f2(data, good);
for (int i = 0; i < result.length; i++){

I have a JTable which shows pdf files. In Addition I can check if they have errors, if it so I can generate a "report" by clicking the pdf. But the report gives me errors from all of the pdfs in the table. How can I match the error messages to the pdf which I select?
Here is one of the checking methods:
public static void testAllPagesHaveSameRotation(PDFDocument pdf) throws PDFDocumentException {
if (SettingsGui.testAllPagesHaveSameRotation.isSelected()) {
if (pdf.getPages() == 0) {
rotationError = "";
} else {
rotationError = "";

I have written an algorithm that compares the chars and returns all the found words in a 20x10 puzzle, but not for a 100x50 puzzle.
The puzzles are loaded in via text file and I have confirmed they're loading correctly.
guesses = String[] of search words
puzzle = char[][] of letters
Why it doesn't work on the large array?
Expected output:
word1, word2, word3
Actual output:
[blank line]
Here's the horizontal algorithm (row by row search)
//temp variable
ArrayList<String> temp = new ArrayList<String>();
try {
//for each guess word
for(String word : guesses) {
int count = 0;

The problem I am trying to solve relates to block-matching or image-within-image recognition. This is an algorithm problem I am working on in java, but computationally, my computer can't handle generating all the combinations at one time.
I see an image, extract the [x,y] of every black pixel and create a set for that image, such as
{[8,0], [9,0], [11,0]}
The set is then augmented so that the first pixel in the set is at [0,0], but the relationship of the pixels is preserved. For example, I see {[8,0], [9,0]} and change the set to {[0,0], [1,0]}. The point of the extraction is that now if I see {[4,0], [5,0]}, I can recognize that basic relationship as two vertically adjacent pixels, my {[0,0], [1,0]}, since it is the same image but only in a different location.
I have a list of these pixel sets, called "seen images". Each 'seen image' has a unique identifier, that allows it to be used as a nested component of other sets. For example:
{[0,0], [1,0]} has the identifier 'Z'
So if I see:
{[0,0], [1, 0], [5,6]}
I can identify and store it as:
{[z], [5, 6]}
The problem with this is that I have to generate every combination of [x,y]'s within the pixel set to check for a pattern match, and to build the best representation. Using the previous example, I have to check:
{[0,0], [1,0]},
{[0,0], [5,6]},
{[1,0], [5,6]} which is {[0,0], [4,5]}
{[0,0], [1,0], [5,6]}
And then if a match occurs, that subset gets replaced with it's ID, merged with the remainder of the original set, and the new combination needs to be checked if it is a 'seen image':
{[z],[5, 6]}
The point of all that is to match as many of the [x,y]'s possible, using the fewest pre-existing pieces as components, to represent a newly seen image concisely. The greedy solution to get the component that matches the largest subset is not the right one. Complexity arises in generating all of the combinations that I need to check, and then the combinations that spawn from finding a match, meaning that if some match and swap produces {[z], [1,0], [2,0]}, then I need to check (and if matched, repeat the process):
{[z], [1,0]}
{[z], [2,0]}
{[1,0], [2,0]} which is {[0,0], [1,0]}
{[z], [1,0], [2,0]}
Currently I generate the pixel combinations this way (here I use numbers to represent pixels 1 == [x,y]) Ex. (1, 2, 3, 4): Make 3 lists:
1.) 2.) 3.)
12 23 34
13 24
14
Then for each number, for each list starting at that number index + 1, concatenate the number and each item and store on the appropriate list, ex. (1+23) = 123, (1+24) = 124
1.) 2.) 3.)
12 23 34
13 24
14
---- ---- ----
123 234
124
134
So those are all the combinations I need to check if they are in my 'seen images'. This is a bad way to do this whole process. I have considered different variations / optimizations, including once the second half of a list has been generated (below the ----), check every item on the list for matches, and then destroy the list to save space, and then continue generating combinations. Another option would be to generate a single combination, and then check it for a match, and somehow index the combinations so you know which one to generate next.
How to optimize what I am doing for a set of ~million items. I also have not yet come up with a non-recursive or efficient way to handle that each match generates additional combinations to check.

I have a question about the following snippet concerning the steps the javac compiler follows to compile a program:
[...]at first, searching a class within a package is discussed if the latter doesn't contain a full package name[...]
It is a compile-time error if more than one class is found. (Classes must be unique, so the order of the import statements doesn't matter.)
The compiler goes one step further. It looks at the source files to see if the source is newer than the class file. If so, the source file is recompiled automatically. Recall that you can import only public classes from other packages. A source file can only contain one public class, and the names of the file and the public class must match. Therefore, the compiler can easily locate source files for public classes.
However, you can import nonpublic classes from the current package. These classes may be defined in source files with different names. If you import a class from the current package, the compiler searches all source files of the current package to see which one defines the class. I don't quite understand the red fragment. I wondered if the word "import" nonpublic classes from the current package weren't a synonym for the word "use", since why would we want to import a class from the same package when compiler searches the current package automatically anyway?
However I wanted to test nonpublic classes that are contained in source file which name doesn't match the class name:
NonpublicClass.java:
Java Code:
package com.work.company;
class NonpublicClass
{
public void description() {
System.out.println("Working!");
}
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
[Code] ....
Everything's fine when the source file names are the same as above. However, when I change NonpublicClass.java to a different name, there's an error "cannot find symbol" in:
Java Code: NonpublicClass v = new NonpublicClass(); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
I noticed that the class file for NonpublicClass isn't even generated so that's probably the cause. If I change to the directory of the package the NonpublicClass is contained in and compile it directly, i.e. issue for example:
Java Code: javac NonpublicClass_different_name.java mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
Then a proper class file is generated with the class name, that is NonpublicClass.class, and afterwards I can compile the main program in Start.java.
So the question is what am I missing regarding the cited quote that reads:
If you import a class from the current package, the compiler searches all source files of the current package to see which one defines the class.
? Because adding such an import to CompanyClass.java:
import com.work.company.NonpublicClass;
didn't work either...

I'm attempting a small program as I'm teaching myself the ropes. In it, I need to compare one string (the base) to another which is just the base string that's had it's characters shuffled.
Java Code:
String base = "ABCDEFG"
String shuffled = "CDAFBEG" mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
What I need to do is run a loop that shuffles the base string each time, but compares and saves any characters that match in the correct location. For example, if shuffled = "CDAFBEG", then the G would be "locked" in place and the rest of the characters shuffled and looped back to the comparison.
I have all the code I need for shuffling the string, but I'm not sure how I would go about comparing each character and then also locking it in place. I get the basics, I think, of needed to use several variables.

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);

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...

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?
