Java Text Adventure Game - Adding Characters
Apr 14, 2014
I am making a java text adventure and i am trying to add characters to it. I wrote it exactly the same as i wrote the items class (which works fine) but for some reason the character class keeps getting a null pointer exception when it gets to line 140 in the room class
characters.add(c);
game class
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
/**

I'm creating a text adventure game, but there are some bugs in it that can get annoying such as restarting the program when it shouldn't be, going to the wrong piece of text, etc.
Java Code:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Act_1 {
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
boolean again = true;
do{
int option;
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("You are Paul Soares Jr, an expert survivalist who has been caught in the midst of a zombie apocalypse in the land of MineZ. You awaken in a dense forest with a lake nearby. In your backpack you have a wooden sword, a pack of matches, one torch, some snacks and meals, a H.A.M. radio, a full water bottle, and a bandage.");
System.out.println("");//the "" adds a space in the text
System.out.println("Do you: ");
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("<1> Head inland");
System.out.println("<2> Stick close to the water");
option = input.nextInt();

I cannot use menu selection 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ... Why NO_EXIT has been declared and used in defining the contents of the map array, rather than just directly using the value 99999 in the map array definition
I don't understand map[][], objectName[] and objectLocation[]
package Assignment;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class GameWorld
{
// the map array holds details on which paths lead to which other rooms. NO_EXIT indicates no valid exit.
// each element holds the details of all paths leading out from a single-room in the order n ,e, s, w, ne, se, sw, nw
private final int NO_EXIT = 99999; // indicates that there is no exit in that direction
private int map[][] ={{NO_EXIT,NO_EXIT,NO_EXIT,1},{2,0,NO_EXIT,NO_EXIT},{NO_EXIT,3,1,NO_EXIT},{NO_EXIT,NO_EXIT,NO_EXIT,2}};

It works when i do this ,
String a = "*";
for(int i = 0; i++; i<10){
System.out.println(a);
a = a +"*";
}
but it doesn't work the other way,
String a = "***************";
for(int i = 0; i++; i<10){
System.out.println(a);
a = a - "*";
}
I searched about this online and read strings are unmutable in java but what does that exactly mean ? If the string cannot be changed how i am able to add the characters but not remove them.

I am trying to make a text based game. the game has been working perfectly setting up the rooms, first couple of commands, and running it. I am now trying to add items to it but every time it try to run the game it returns :
java.lang.NullPointerException
at Room.addItem(Room.java:107)
at Game.createRooms(Game.java:133)
at Game.<init>(Game.java:28)
at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method)
[Code] .....
Here are the classes that matter for this particular situation
import java.util.HashMap;
public class Item
{
private HashMap<String, Item> itemList;
private String name;
private String itemDescription;
[Code] ....
I know that it is the line
itemList.put(item.getItemName(), new Item(item.getItemName(), item.getItemDescription()));
In the game class that is causing the nullpointer exception i just really cant figure out why that keeps happening and how to add the values correctly....

I am trying to design a generic RPG game. The issue I am having right now is in my Class I have a subroutine (think that is the correct term) that is basically set up to hold a series of Print Statements. I am really just trying to get some Values that are stored within the Applet, have them assigned to their correct variables and then returned in the print statement. Yet, when I run the applet it just pops up the Applet blank and gives me a long list of errors and I really don't understand when they mean.
Here is the code:
The Class
public class CharacterSheet {
final String NL = System.getProperty("line.separator");
public String characterName;
int playerStr;
int playerCha;
[Code] ....
And the error messages:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-1" java.lang.NullPointerException: String is null
at sun.java2d.SunGraphics2D.drawString(Unknown Source)
at TFApplet.paint(TFApplet.java:15)

The problem is i want to replace some string text with foreign characters, but JTextArea returns plainText.
For Example:
str = new String();
str.replace('e', 'é');
textArea.setText(str);
but textArea returns plainText.

I just want to add a text field and a label next to it that says "Hourly Wage".
Also, when I run this in Xcode, it reports back with "Shell Script Invocation Error" "Command usr/bin/java failed with exit code 1".
Here's my program:
package summerIncome;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class SummerIncomeCalculator {
public static void main(String[] args) {
jFrame frame = new Jframe("Summer Income Calculator");
frame.setSize(400,300);

Right now I have three stacks. Each stack holds characters, with the normal operations of pushing and popping. I am trying to compare two characters from stack1 and stack2(each character is a digit character). I would like to be able to do arithmetic on the digit characters and the push the answer on to a result stack.
Ex.) I pop character '3' from stack1 and '5' from stack2. Then I add the two. equaling '8' and pushing that character on to the result stack. This will hopefully in turn allow me to add arbitrary large numbers that integers will not support.
I am having trouble because I believe I am getting some ascii character values when I pop off the result stack. here is a small piece of my code
public void addition() {
char temp1 ,temp2;
int i = s1.getSize();
for(int j= 0;j<i;j++) {
temp1 = s1.pop();
temp2 = s2.pop();
if(temp1+temp2>=10)
[Code] .....

I feel like the program is written correctly; however, the interactions pane in DoctorJava gives me numbers instead of letters. I am happy that the numbers it gives me is consistent, but it still bothers me and I do not know what to debug.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Monogram {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
String firstName, middleName, lastName;
int nameLength=1;

Your Tester class main method must use an array or an ArrayList of Person objects. It must be populated from a text data file, friends_data.txt. Add the following data to your text file,
Michelle, 12/20/2008, Camilla
Bryan, 3/8/2007, Tom
Camilla, 6/7/2005, Michelle
Tom, 10/15/2007, Bryan
Charlotte, 3/2/2008, Michelle
Each line has the meaning:
-Person name, Person date of birth (MM/DD/YYYY), name of best friend
-Write a Java program that reads in the data from the friends_data.txt file, allocates a new
-Person for each and then stores the newly created object in either an Array or an ArrayList.
-Next print out a report showing the following information for each Person,
1. The Person's name
2. Their popularity counter
3. Their age on May 1, 2014
4. The name of their best friend
5. The age of their best friend on May 1, 2014
Finally, print the name of the most popular Person and the name of the oldest Person.
Person Class
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Person {
public String personsName;
public String personsFriend;
public String personsBirthday;
public int personsPopularity;
public int popularity = 0;
[code]...
I keep getting this error from the compiler:
System.out.println("Popularity : " + personsOfInterest[i].getPopularityNumber());
"method getPopularityNumber in class Person cannot be applied to given type:
Required: java.lang.String[]; found: no arguments; reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length.

So, Iv'e been trying to make a simple Text Based RPG with Java, and it is going quite well, and my friends want to play it too but they aren't very tech savvy, so it's hard to tell them to get an IDE or use the CMD, so I wanted to know if there was a way to make my text-based game into a window, like using JFrame or something. All i need is a window that displays the text, and a bar on the bottom that lets the user input what they want (Kind of like a CMD).
I want it sort of like this window: This Pic

I am busy programming a clone of the popular phone game they had on Nokia cellphones a long time ago called Snake II but since I know very little about programming I will be using ASCII graphics instead of a 2D graphics engine.
My idea for implementation is having a main class called game which should refresh a grid of ascii characters every, say 0.2 seconds. Then I have another class called Dot. Each Dot object has x and y coordinates, and a direction in the x and y planes (dirx = -1 means left, dirx = 1 means right, diry = 1 means up, diry = -1 means down, and obviously the snake cant move the diagonals)
The Game class prints a "*" symbol where the Dot is, and what I'm trying to do is get the screen to refresh (I think I need to use the sleep() function for this to slow the game down to a reasonable pace), and go in the direction it is supposed to go.
(I haven't programmed this in yet but the snake will be an array of Dot, and at each refresh Dot at position 0 will pass it's coordinates and direction to Dot at position 1, Dot1 to Dot2, Dot2 to Dot3, etc.
Here's my code so far:
A first class called Game.
Java Code: //Not done yet but this is the start to my game of Snake. Basically the class Game generates a Grid of ASCII characters
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Game {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
final int WIDTH = 79;
[Code] .....
My problem now is that I am taking input from the Scanner class. What it does is wait for my input, then it goes on to executing the rest of the code in other words refresh the ASCII grid. This is a problem because I need the snake to keep moving at constant pace while listening to the keyboard.
How can I get my while loop to keep going (i will add a sleep() function later) while listening to the keyboard without stopping?

I need to read the contents of file A, and B and store it in file C by joining the contents of A and B and also counting the number of letters/characters present in it.
I've come up with this so far.
import java.io.FileInputstream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
public class JavaApplication43{
public static putwrite(string fname) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException

I made my items class and I am storing my item as a String array to list them all and what I want to be able to do is type pickup, have the game read my location and display the items that are avaible to pickup at current location then type the item and store it in my playerInventory. Then, have it check the slot if it is doesn't equal null go to next.
Use a boolean value of 0 = false and 1 = true. then, have it check if the inv array = 1 or 0. if 1 go to next inv. If all are full then, ask player if they would like to replace an item. Use a 2d array for storage for slots and true or false value.
Here is my code
Player.java
package com.PenguinGaming;
import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Player {
public void User(){
Commands commands = new Commands();
Map map = new Map();

I have been trying to add a draw system to my code so far once all the boxes have been taken it does not tell the player its a draw game over. I have tried and deleted some code but I have commented some stuff that did'nt work at the bottom and also the X's and O's can be replaced in the same spaces?
import java.util.*;
//import for scanner
public class NoughtsAndCrosses {
public static int row,col; //integer for rows and columns
public static Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); //Scans the program
public static char[][] board = new char [4][4]; //Characters for the board set out 4/4

Random rand = new Random();
char[] characters = new char[] { 'x', 'o' };
int numOfTimes = 0;
while (numOfTimes < 5)
{
String board = "";
String space = " ";

Basically , I'm trying to make a program that makes the Finch follow the object. I have made two classes :
NewOption52 and FollowClass.
Class NewOption52 contains a method which determines the properties of the GUI. Class FollowClass contains a main method which calls GUI method from class NewOption52 and it also contains several methods which dictates the Finch's behavior alongside with appending text to JTextArea feed.
When I connect the Finch and run the program , a GUI should appear and inside JTextArea should have text which says ""Please Place An Object in front of Finch And Then Tap Finch to Activate!". It didn't happen when I run the program.
Class NewOption52 :
import edu.cmu.ri.createlab.terk.robot.finch.Finch;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.*;

I decided to write a small Java program to experiment around with BorderLayout, because I'm developing a Java game and I need to have 2 objects placed in a single JFrame at the same time, and everyone I asked said I need BorderLayout to do that.Before you answer: Also, is using BorderLayout the best option for adding multiple video game oriented objects such a sprites to a JFrame?
So the Java program I wrote is supposed to place a JButton on the JFrame and ALSO place a graphic component (a rectangle in this case). The problem is, only the button shows up, as can be seen in the image link below: URL....
Here is the code:
**main.java** --> The main method class + JFrame/JPanel/JButton constructor
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class main {

I'm relatively new to Java, I'm trying to create a text based game, like those old ones where you type "north" or "east" to move as such, and "look" to inspect the area. My only problem thus far has been trying to figure out just how I should... "structure?" the movement. As in, what's the best overall way to approach this? I've tried making a new method for every area and just passing a variable called "location," but along with passing the inventory and stat arrays, it's just become messy. Or is this a good way to do it? I have a separate method for when the player enters something, but then how will it know which description to give when the player types "look?"
