Running Craps Game Using Methods?
Nov 4, 2014
I had to make a program that ran a craps game using methods and I keep getting an error ....
Here is my code :
public class CrapsGame {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(playGame());
}//end of main method
public static int rollDie(int n){
return (int)(Math.random()*n)+ 1;
}//end of rollDie method
[Code] .....
And this is the error im getting
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable source code - variable roll might not have been initialized
at CrapsGame.playGame(CrapsGame.java:29)
at CrapsGame.main(CrapsGame.java:4)
Java Result: 1

I am having a problem with my java program. My goal is to request the user to enter how many times they want to roll a pair of dices. Each dice have numbers 1-6. When rolling the dices, I randomly pick a number from each dice and total the number. My goal is to calculate the number of times snake-eyes was rolled which is a total of 2 and total number of times a total of 7 was rolled. Here is my code. I am calling the rollDice method to perform the random pick and calculations. The error I am getting is at the bottom of the code.
package dice;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Random;
public class Dice
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int numRolls; // number of rolls
[code]...
How many times would you like to roll the two dice? 1000 Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at dice.Dice.main(Dice.java:40)
Java Result: 1 BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 4 seconds)

I have a question about a method I have. In my game, I had a move method to move my player left and right, and originally this method was huge, as it also took care checking collisions and a few other things. I broke it up a bit and put the collisions in their own methods and call them from again another method... Here is an extract which I hope illustrates my point:
private static final double MOVE_SPEED = 0.2;
private static final double MAX_MOVE_SPEED = 3.5;
private static final double STOP_SPEED = 0.18;
private double xPos;
private double yPos;
[Code] .....
Something I thought might be a good idea is to check the direction collision when im doing the calculations for that direction:
if(moveLeft) {
dx -= MOVE_SPEED;
(dx < -MAX_MOVE_SPEED) {
dx = -MAX_MOVE_SPEED;
}
checkLeft();
}
But then I would also need to check it when I'm slowing down the left movement:
if(dx < 0.0) {
dx += STOP_SPEED;
if(dx > 0.0) {
dx = 0.0;
}
checkLeft();
}
Then I thought instead i can check it after both of these steps:
if(moveLeft || dx < 0.0) {
checkLeft();
}
I guess my question is quite general: How much is acceptable to break up a method? How many chains of method calls is acceptable? Is it ok to call the same method from different nearby places?

I will try to explain what i want to code , a HiLo game where the user can choose up to 3 different levels(1-10, 1-100, 1-1000) with these 3 methods
public static void main(String[] args) {...}
public static int playGame(int maxNumber) {...}
public static void giveResponse(int answer, int guess) {...}
with no Random , i will use the:
int number = (int)(Math.random() * max) +1; to generate numbers
I have tried so many times , but i don't get it ....
My code so far :
import java.util.Scanner;
public class HL{
public static void main(String[] args ){
Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);

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.
import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class TicTacToe {
private static Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
private static char[][] board = new char[3][3];
public static int row, col;

I just wrote a java program with eclipse that has to read many-many inputs from the user. I want to test it, but I really don't want to type it everytime again and again...
Can I just write all inputs in a text file and let eclipse read this file so instead of typing it again and again, Eclipse reads every line whenever it waits for a user input?

I have a directories in UNIX:
/home/t_bmf/Java/HelloWorld/src/helloworld :will contain a .java file
/home/t_bmf/Java/HelloWorld/bin :will contain all .class file
Let say a have a code:
package helloworld;
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] arg) {
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}
a command to compile this even outside the directory /home/t_bmf/Java/HelloWorld/src/helloworld
javac -d /home/t_bmf/Java/HelloWorld/bin /home/t_bmf/Java/HelloWorld/src/helloworld/HelloWorld.java
This will generate a directory /home/t_bmf/Java/HelloWorld/bin/helloworld and file inside this is HelloWorld.class
To run this program I must be in directory /home/t_bmf/Java/HelloWorld/bin and using this command:
java helloworld.HelloWorld
Question:
I already how to run the HelloWorld.class, but I must be in helloworld /home/t_bmf/Java/HelloWorld/bin to run it. Is there's a way to run the class even when I am not in directory /home/t_bmf/Java/HelloWorld/bin? Let's say I'm in /home/t_bmf, can I still run the HelloWorld.class?

We've got a java web app (running on a Solaris machine with Weblogic) and from time to time it stops working due to this error:
Java Code: java.net.SocketException: Too many open files mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
For what I've read we are somehow exceeding the established limit of file descriptors, and it seems that this may be caused for many reasons, not only open files that we forgot to close.
I am making a list of everything that may consume a file descriptor in the system mentioned above, so I can start reanalyzing the app... if needed, as I don't know if we're wasting them or if the limit is just insufficient.

I have a problem with running my hello world aplication. Here is the code.
public class HelloWorld {

System.out.println("Hello world!");

I've been playing around with this for about an hour.
Java Code:
Runtime runTime = Runtime.getRuntime();
try {
Process process = runTime.exec("notepad");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
So that works. Notepad will open.
However, I'm trying to get other programs to open. Specifically, this program: C:Octave3.2.4_gcc-4.4.0inoctave-3.2.4.exe...However, using that in place of notepad doesn't work. I'm assuming that there is some sort of system variable that explains why simply typing "notepad" works? As if you type notepad into the run box, notepad will open. Soo does that snippet work by going through some sort of system variables?How would I go about opening other programs, such as the one I referenced above.

I have manage to compile it successfully(class file will be in bin directory) using command below: javac -d /home/t_bmf/java/bin HelloWorld.java
My problem now is how would I execute the class in bin directory in UNIX? I already tried different ways on how to execute it as suggested in my internet research The one I tried is this:

I am working on a management gui for a program. I have implemented the start server button. But now I need to get something working so that when I press stop server the javaw.exe process which is running the the other jar file is stopped and ended.
The gui is going to be using a javaw.exe as well and I don't want to end the entire thing.
I just want to end the javaw.exe process that is running the other jar file.
This is my code for starting it:
JButton btnNewButton_2 = new JButton("Start Server");
btnNewButton_2.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
try {
Process pr = rt.exec("java -jar DEDServer_release.jar");
[Code] ....
I just need to figure out what to do to stop it now.

I have built a Java app that uses SQLite (sqlite-jdbc-3.8.7.jar). Running the jar file on windows works as expected however, trying to run it on Ubuntu Server 14.04 has turned into quite a task!
I put together a brand new machine in VirtualBox for testing. I installed Java (sudo apt-get install default-jre) and have installed SQLite (sudo apt-get install cl-sql-sqlite3 sqlitebrowser). I created a new sub-directory within my home directory and copied over the jar file. From terminal, I then run the command: sudo java -jar ProductionView.jar and I receive a java.lang.unsatisfiedlinkerror. For troubleshooting, within the app, before making a connection to the db, I have printed out the location of where the db is to be created and it is correct (see attached pic). Is there more that needs to be configured before I can run this app on Ubuntu? I have posted the relevant code below :
(AppDatabasePath() is what is printed in the image...).
public static String AppDatabasePath() {
return AppPath() + APP_NAME + ".db";
}
public static String AppDatabase() {
return "jdbc:sqlite:" + AppDatabasePath();
[Code] .....
