Dealing With Spaces During Input String Conversion?

Oct 5, 2014

I am working on a small brain teaser project where I am taking a string input from a Scanner, and turning into ascii. The problem comes into play when the string has a space in it, so if the question is what's your name? and you say Michael Jackson, Michael gets converted then Jackson becomes the answer to the next question, rather then the second portion of the current string.

This is an older version of what I'm doing currently, but it had the same basic problem with spaces.I will say I did my current version entirely different.

nner user_input = new Scanner (System.in);
//Creates a string
String favoriteFlick;
System.out.println("Enter the title of your favorite film?");
favoriteFlick = user_input.next();

Temperature Conversion Project - Send Input Value To Calculation Area And Get Value To Display In JLabel

Sep 30, 2014

The problem I'm trying to resolve now is getting my ActionEvent to send the value input in the JTextArea out to be calculated, then to display the result in my result JLabel.

Here is an image of the GUI :

The basic procedure the teacher is asking for is the user is supposed to enter a temperature in the input. The user then clicks the input scale, and then on the output scale selection the converted value is to be displayed in the output area.

As I mentioned my problem is in the sending of the input value to my calculation area, and getting the value to display in the JLabel.

How should I approach this solution? Do I need to have a listener after the JTextArea of the input box? Will that allow me to limit the input values to numbers only?

final JTextArea inputText = new JTextArea("" + (char)176,1,4);
//ReadConsole equivalent to specific input was a number?

Here is the section of code my ActionListener is:

//celOut represents the Celcius output scale JRadioButton.
celOut.addActionListener (new ActionListener () {

@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
//if the Celcius Input Scale is selected.
if(cel.isSelected())

[Code] ....

All the calculations are required to occur in a separate java file, which what I think is tripping me up. How do I send a value from the JTextArea into the Calc.celToFahr method?

//contents of my Calc.java calculation class.
public class Calc {
public static double celToFahr(double cel){
return cel * (9./5.) + 32.;
}
public static double fahrToCel(double fahr){
return (fahr - 32.)*(5./9.);
}
}

How To Write Conversion Method From Roman Numerals To Arabic

Nov 8, 2014

I am a student taking a Java programming class. My assignment is to write a program that converts a roman numeral input as entered by a user and converting it to it's integer value (arabic number). These are the methods that I must have in it:

1. Write a method that takes input from the user and passes it to a conversion method.
2. Write a method that yields the numeric value of each of the letters (conversion method).
3. Write a method that outputs the number the user entered and the converted number.
4. Write a main method to test the 3 methods.

I have written the first method, at least I think. Here is what I did there:

public static String romanInput(String number) {
Scanner numberInput = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a roman numeral: ");
String userInput = numberInput.next();
return userInput;
}

I returned the userInput and I think that is passing it to the conversion method? Now I am working on this conversion method and to be honest I don't know where to begin. I am told how to convert a string in my assignment by the professor. I am told:

- Look at the first two characters. If the first has a larger value than the second, then simply convert the first.
- Call the conversion method again for the substring starting with the second character.
-Add both values. If the first one has a smaller value than the second, compute the difference and add to it the conversion of the tail.

I am also told to use a single-dimensional array. But, I don't know what I am to use a single dimensional array for? So this is what I wrote so far for this method:

public static int numberConversion(int number) {

int romanConv = 0;
char[] romanNum = {'I', 'V', 'X', 'L', 'C', 'D', 'M'};
char[] arabicNum = {1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000};
romanNum = arabicNum;
}

I have written a character array for the roman numerals, and then one for arabic numerals, then I set them equal to each other. I also declared an integer variable set to 0 because I think that is what I will be returning at the end of the method. Now I don't know where to start for the conversion algorithm here. I know this is what I have to do, but I don't know how to do it:

1. Add the numbers together if they are in decreasing value or are equal in value. For example: VI is read as 5 + 1 = 6 XVI is read as 10 + 5 + 1 = 16 XXXVIII is 10 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 38
2. Use subtraction if a number is less than the number that follows it. For example, I is less than V, so when I is in front of V, you subtract its value.
3. For example: IV is 5 1 = 4 IX is 10 1 = 9 XL is 50 10 = 40 MCM is 1,000 + (1,000 - 100) = 1,900

I can't use hashtables or enums because I haven't learned about that yet. I have a feeling I need to use a for loop. I know I haven't done any of the actual programming work but I don't know how to begin writing this conversion method.

Mouse Movement Code

Feb 11, 2014

I have been working on this mouse movement code that detects which direction the mouse moves in hope to use it in a game. The only problem is that I can not figure out how to make it move to the other side of the screen so I could continue turning to the right or left without having to stop. How would I actually get the x and y coordinants of the mouse to change?

PHP Code: if(x == xscreen){
//set x to 0
}else if(x == 0){
//set x to xscreen
}else if(y == yscreen){
//set y to 0
}else if(y == 0){
//set y to yscreen

How To Make Smoother Movement

Jan 23, 2014

First, I have a figure that moves around the screen. It uses keylisteners and just subtracts or adds pixels. However, I notice the movement is not smooth at all. It is very rigid and laggy movement. How can I make it smoother movement?

Second, you get three lives in the game. The lives are subtracting correctly, but I want the game to say "GAME OVER" on a dialog box. How would I get this to happen? My JFrame and my life int are in separate classes. I know I should use an if statement, saying if lives are at or less than zero, open the box, but how do I open the box?

Third, I want to display the time on the screen. I have a swing timer, but how do I put it on the screen? DrawString is not working for me.

Fourth, I want to set an icon for the game, the code is running, but not doing anything.

Java Code: frame.setIconImage(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("/Users/MW/Downloads/petericon.jpg")); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

How To Do Movement In Text Based Game

Feb 13, 2015

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?"

Unexpected OpenGL Simple Movement

May 28, 2014

I am new to DreamInCode! I was creating a game using OpenGL (and slick for textures).

Using Vector3f, I make coordinates to where my camera is camera'ing (and rotation).

It was working... until I modified something. I only added shaders. When I took the shaders off I think I might of accidentally deleted something. Nonetheless the code looks perfect to me.

On the method "input()" everything runs. No errors are thrown anywhere. I have syso'd the hell outa my code. It shows no signs of breaks. I can, however, move elements I put into my program. I am 100% sure that no other class is breaking my game (soon to be).

What you should look out for: I am not really sure about the glLoadIdentity()'s and glMatrixMode(). I am, knowing a good part of, thinking it could be gluViewPort....

My problem: Can't move my camera even tho it was working before.

package com.Hydroque.OpenGlTest;
import static org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11.*;
import static org.lwjgl.util.glu.GLU.gluPerspective;
import java.io.IOException;

Limit Object Movement Within A Window

Aug 31, 2014

I just started to learn Java. In my program, I created a GRect(paddle) and I would like to move it on the x axis whenever the mouse is moved.

import acm.graphics.*;
import acm.program.*;
import acm.util.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class BreakoutClass extends GraphicsProgram {
/** Width and height of application window in pixels */
private static final int WIDTH = 400;
private static final int HEIGHT = 600;

In this case, whenever the paddle reaches the right edge of the screen, it doesn't move off the windows, but it stops moving (even if you move the mouse).

Matrix Icon / Button Movement

Apr 30, 2015

I'm working on making a game in JAVA. To be brief, the game is on a 6x6 matrix called "blocks[][]". The game has two players and the objective is to capture the enemies pieces by moving your piece onto there's. The players do this by moving one piece per turn either forward/backward (Vertically) or right/left (horizontal) movements. Essentially checkers without jumps.I'm not very far into the development process here. So far I have the game board created and the pieces load by clicking the "Start" button (handled by the refresh function). However I'm having a few problems... Namely moving the pieces effectively at the moment.

Right now there's a lot to do:

(1) - Implement a turn system,
(2) - Only allow a player to click their pieces (I've a validation function already in place to only permit valid moves [horizontal/vertical only]),
(3) - getting the pieces to actually "move" what I mean by this is a player selects the piece they want to move, then they select the spot they want to move to and the icon I have placed on the button is supposed to be added to the new square and the icon for its previous position is to be made null.

Please see the "actionPerformed" section to see exactly what I'm trying to do and hopefully as well see what I'm missing as to why it is not working at the moment... Also see under the Refresh function where I commented out the for loops to add the pieces. I did this because it was resulting in an ArrayOutofBounds error so I just wrote each spot out manually where I wanted them to start.

Basic Sprite Character Movement

Aug 18, 2014

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.

Alien Movement In Space Invaders Game

Apr 13, 2014

I'm working on this space invaders game and I've been stuck trying to get the alien spaceships to move down in one group. The way we have to design the game is we have to implement at least these 3 classes. These classes are GameData,GamePanel, and Animator. GameData is all the action figures/models in the game. GamePanel draws all game action figures/ models on the screen. Animator updates periodicaly action figures positions,sizes, colors etc. I can get the aliens to move right but once they hit the end of the canvas I cannot figure out how to get them to move as a group down and then begin moving left. I tried to add alien objects to the GameFigures list and then have the update method in the Alien class be responsible for moving the alien ships, but I couldn't figure out how to make it work. So then I made an alienFigures list in the GameData class and I still cannot figure out what to do. Here is the GameData class

import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Iterator;

Make Mouse Cursor Visible On Movement

Mar 25, 2014

I've been creating a digital clock using Java, and have made the mouse cursor invisible after a set period of time (40-seconds) and had the thought to make it visible again if mouse was moved.

Here's the code that makes it invisible:

ActionListener mouseTimeout = new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
setCursor(blankCursor);
}
};
/* Make mouse cursor disappear after 40 seconds */
Timer mTimeout = new Timer(40000, mouseTimeout);
mTimeout.start();

And here is what I have so far for making it visible again:

MouseMotionListener mouse = new MouseMotionListener() {
@Override
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)
{
}
@Override
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e)
{
}
};

I have tried using "setCursor(DEFAULT_CURSOR)" but NetBeans says that it "cannot find symbol" .....

Maze Game - Tracking Objects / Limit Movement

I made a kind of maze game that includes the class keylistener and orients a object, i can't find where the program tracks this object (where its x and y coordinates are). So now my object can move freely through all walls and i want it to bounce back or at least something to happen when the object reaches a wall.

I want to find a way to limit my objects movement and because i cant find where the coordinates or variable for this object is i cannot limit its movement

Pass User Input - Initializing Array In Method

Feb 7, 2015

I need to pass user input from the main method, which is then validated using another method that is returned as a valid score, and then I pass the valid input to another method that stores the data in an array. The array is initialized within the method. I tried to use an if-else statement to initialize the array, because I originally did this at the beginning of the method. I soon learned that I was creating a new array everything I accessed the method. Needless to say, this isn't working either.

public static void main(String[] args) {
int judges = 7;
float[] validScores = new float[judges];
for (int i = 0; i < judges; i++) {
float score = -1;

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Can Text Area Also Be Used For Input

Apr 7, 2014

I have a popup that displays textual info and sometimes gets text input from the user. I'm using the following code:

JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(textArea);
textArea.setLineWrap(true);
textArea.setWrapStyleWord(true);
textArea.setFont(new Font("courier", Font.PLAIN, 12));
scrollPane.setPreferredSize( new Dimension( 30, 100 ) );
String input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, scrollPane, "Fun Chess ",
JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);

This shows a nice text area and an input field underneath it.The getGameHistory() method just returns a long string detailing the current game.Is there a way of just showing the text area without the input field underneath?Can the text area also be used for input instead?

Swing/AWT/SWT :: How To Do GUI Input Processing After Firing Off SwingWorker

Oct 8, 2014

I am writing a program that solves sudoku puzzles. It has a Swing GUI with a "solve" button. I have written an actionListener class with an actionPerformed method that is invoked when the user presses this button. It is the following:

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
try {
worker = new SudokuSolveWorker();
worker.addPropertyChangeListener(this);
worker.execute();
SolveFrame sf = new SolveFrame();
} catch (Exception exc) {
System.out.println(exc.getMessage());
exc.printStackTrace();
}
}

The code creates a worker, a new instance of SudokuSolveWorker. The worker.execute() statement causes the doInBackground() method of this class to be called. This solves the Sudoku. A property change listener "picks up" the result:

public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent event) {
try {
System.out.println("" + javax.swing.SwingUtilities.isEventDispatchThread());
SudokuModel solvedModel = (SudokuModel) worker.get();
} catch (Exception exc) {
System.out.println(exc.getMessage());
exc.printStackTrace();
}
}

As I wrote, this works without freezing up the user interface in the sense that the program seems unstable. However, the user interface does not respond to "commands" (mouse clicks) anymore until the worker thread has finished.

In the first code fragment I create an instance of SolveFrame which is an extension of a JFrame. It is a simple frame with a "cancel" button. It is drawn on the screen, even though it is called after the worker.execute() statement. I'd like the user to be able to click this "cancel" button, after which the solving of the sudoku puzzle should be stopped. However, since the program does not respond to mouse clicks anymore, the "cancel" button cannot be pressed.
