Word Puzzle Game - Add Extra No Occurrences

Oct 20, 2014

I have a simple Word Program here called PuzzleGame.java. It works perfectly but I wanted to add some bells and whistles to it. So I want to be able that if the user selects the same letter more than once a message comes up letting the user know that "That letter has already been selected, try another letter."

I am certain that if would go in the 'else' of the 'if( )' that I am providing.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class PuzzleGame {
public static void main(String[] args){
String secretPhrase = "BIG JAVA";
String guesses = " ";

[Code] .....

I am thinking maybe after the else in this if statement.

if(guesses.indexOf(secretLetter)== -1) {
System.out.print("-");
notDone = true;
} else {
//something here. I am not sure how to go about it.
System.out.print(secretLetter);
}

Comparing Characters Of A Word To Puzzle Board - Diagonal Search Algorithm

Feb 7, 2015

Coding (must follow pseudocode algorithm provided) for comparing characters of a word to a puzzle board char[][].

I've gotten the horizontal and vertical searches to work, but I'm having a difficult time figuring out how to search diagonally.

Here's the search algorithm format I have to use:

for each guess word
for each letter of the puzzle
for each letter of the guess word
check for diagonal match
if found, add word to list, break to next guess

I'm assuming there should be a +1 horizontal offset after I find the first letter, but every index I've bumped has caused me to screw up my array bounds. I'm missing something.

Here's the algorithm I'm using for diagonal search. This same algorithm worked for vertical search (minus the offset of course)

//diagonal search
for(String word : guessWords) {//for each guess word
 int letterCount = 0;
int index = 0;
for(int j=0; j<grid[index].length; j++) {//for each puzzle letter
 
[Code] ....

Create Word Game Using Classes And Objects

Feb 14, 2015

For class, we need to create a word game using classes and objects.

The game is played in rounds. The player is presented with a word that is missing letters. The player has to fill in the missing spaces with their letter guesses. The words presented are chosen with a random number generator which has been provided for us. At the end of the game, the player is shown their score.

In steps, I have to:

-Welcome the player.
-Present the puzzle.
-Allow the player to fill in the blanks.
-Have the program check responses for correct/incorrect input.
-End the game if they have three misses, or continue if they complete the puzzle.

Now, to start, I have a class for the number generator, a class to store the array of 25 words, and a class for the game itself.

Design And Implement Word Guessing Game

Dec 29, 2013

I have a project about programing a game in java . In this project you are required to design and implement a word guessing game. In the game, user selects one of the available dictionaries (animals, plants, technical, names, etc. ), and the program randomly chooses one word from that dictionary and displays it by scrambling the letters. The user tries to guess the word while a guess counter starts to count down (lets assume it starts from 5).

While counter counts towards zero, the program chooses -randomly- two misplaced letters and puts them into correct positions to reveal the word more and give the user a hint. However, giving a new hint reduces the total value of the question. Lets say if the initial value of the question is 500 when all letters are scrambled, it reduces to 400 after 1st incorrect guess and hint, then after every incorrect guess it reduces more. You can determine the value of the question by the length of the word. The other details of the game is as follows:

1.You must design at least three classes (for example game, scrambledword, and dictionary).

2.Dictionaries are written in text files. If you design a class for dictionary, it must be constructed by a user chosen category ((animals, plants, technical, names, etc). In the constructor, the dictionary text file corresponding to this category must be opened and read; and words in that dictionary must be read into memory (e.g. String array). You must submit your dictionaries with your code. Do not share dictionaries between friends.

3.The game will record your total points and name in a text file where a hall of fame which has different users and their total points in 10 questions. You can design and implement a class for this.

4.Bonus+5%: Put user interface modules textboxes, buttons, etc Or

a.Use class hierarchy

b.Use of thread and timers and reducing the question value by timer instead of guesses.

Multi-word Hangman Game - Spaces Not Displayed When Program Run

Apr 9, 2015

I created a simple Hangman game. It functions correctly, the only issue is when the file contains a phrase (2 or more words), spaces are not displayed when the program is run. For example, if the phrase was Java Programming Forums.

It would appear as _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

I want there to be spaces in between the words. How could I fix this? What would I need to add to my code?

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
 public class hangman{
public static void main (String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException{
Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);
String guess;
String guesses = "";
int wrongGuess = 8;

Translation Game - Translate A Word Proposed To And Check If Input Response Is Correct

Dec 19, 2013

The project is to develop the game Translate the Word .... It is asking user to translate a word proposed to and check if the input response is correct. At the end of the game score will be calculated and displayed.

Game Play :

1 - Ask the user to specify , through the console , its name and the number of words to offer . It is up to you to handle exceptions (eg number of words greater than the number you provided )
2 - Recover user response ( the word translated ) and check whether to continue . (eg you want to continue (y / n)) after each proposal.
3 - compare the response of the user with that which is preset for the word in question .
4 - Show the score at the end ( or at the breakpoint ) .
5 - Save the file in a user name , the score , the number of questions and the start date and end of the game played .

Some notes to consider :

1 - The language (eg, English - French , English - Arabic , etc. . ): It is up to you to specify the language adopted in the game and inform the user of your choice.
2 - The word bank to offer : It is up to you to develop the appropriate means to get the words to propose to the user. That said , the words and their translations can be retrieved :

a. a TXT file
b . an XML file . ( Tutorials DOM and SAX )
c . CSV file ( OpenCSV Tutorial )
d. a database ( Tutorial Access)
e . through APIs (eg Wordnet and google translate etc . ) .
f . a combination of the previous options a, bc , d and / or e . (eg words stored in a txt file and answers retrieved from the api google translate)
g . etc. .

Examples of files and databases are attached to the project statement . You will need to add one or more external libraries to your project. Click here for details on adding external libraries to Netbeans .

3 - A user will be associated with the question score if he can translate the word correctly. The score for each question can be calculated based on the number of words / questions to be proposed .

Development : In this project you will need at least a class called Question to encapsulate the word and its translations and provide all necessary methods to manipulate the object type Question.

An interface called IParser to make extensible project. Any class that implements IParser is a parser file (XML , TXT , CSV , etc.). / Database. In your project there will be a single class that implements IParser and will be used to retrieve words and their translations.

Add the ability to store the questions and answers of the user on the hard disk. Make the class Serializable Question

Why Substring Method Subtract Extra 1

Sep 10, 2014

Why does the substring method subtract an extra 1?

For example:

myString = "Programming and Problem Solving";

myString.substring(0, 7) would be "Program" instead of "Program".

It's not explained in the book I'm reading and didn't see it online.

Implementing Search Algorithm To Solve 8 Puzzle

Oct 4, 2014

I have been working on a program that takes in a 2d array (there is a method to convert to 1d as necessary) and uses it as an 8 puzzle, which the program then solves (if it is solvable) using the A* Search algorithm, outputting each solution move. It needs error checkers/traps/exception handlers, and be able to create an 8 puzzle from user input, create an 8 puzzle from file input, and create an 8 puzzle from file input and then output to another file the solution move sequence. I have gotten nearly everything done except for implement the algorithm itself and the methods for handling input from files or output to files (the input/output file methods are a minor problem that I can probably solve fairly easily, I just want to be able to test the a* with the puzzle created from user input first.

I have taken several cracks at it, but I am not really good with Java in this type of situation and this is hurting me a lot. I have put in a method to determine if a puzzle is solvable, but the A* algorithm still eludes me. I understand the concept of the algorithm, you have a heuristic function, a cost function (each move equals 1 in this case), and you add the two together to get f(n), choosing the move that will get you the closest to your goal (best first search basically). here is what I have so far that works:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Queue;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Puzzle {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

[Code] ....

I have it outputting things to make sure all that works already, I have all the error handlers, but I think that before I can even implement the A*search algorithm, there may be something else I need. Conceptually, I understand I need Nodes, States and Stacks, and Queues (I think, I am not sure about this), but with the way my code has been made so far, I am not sure how to implement those and then implement them with the A* algorithm. What I should do next? I have looked at the code of other uses of A* algorithm(that is how I found out I might need Java data structures like queue and stack and list), but I am not sure exactly where to go to from where I am.

Binary Tree - Storing Each Word As String And Int Frequency For Each Time Word Occurs

Apr 27, 2015

I have built a binary tree, from a file. In each node, I am storing each word as a string, and an int frequency for each time the word occurs. For the assignment, I need to find how many words occur only once in the file. I wrote the program, but for some reason I am getting a number different from what my professor is expecting.

As far as I know, this file has loaded into the tree correctly, because all of my other answers in the assignment are correct. What am I doing wrong?

public void findUnique() {
System.out.println("There are " + findUniqueWords(root, 0) + " unique words.");
}
private int findUniqueWords(Node subTree, int uniqueCount) {
// Base Case: At the end of the branch
if(subTree == null){
return uniqueCount;

AutoCorrect / Replace A Word That Is Similar To A Word In File Text

Mar 13, 2015

The intentions of this program is to prompt a user to enter a file name, and then reads the file. The program will prompt the user to enter a word that needs to be corrected. So lets say I have a text file containing "My name is OP and I Like goind to the Park!" I want to change "goind" to "going",

Now, my second method "isSimilar" executes a similar word with more than one same letter and same length, but I dont know how to execute that whole thing in my third method "correctThisLine" . How I can call that isSimilar method and read in that text file and change that word into that?

import java.util.*;

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;

String fileName = "AutoCorrectMe.txt";

Aug 19, 2014

I am looking for java codes to generate a word document based on a word template, basically, I have a word template created and in my local path, the template has a proper format with some fields which will be filled in after java codes ran. The java codes will fetch one record from a table, and open the word template and then fill the fields in the word template, and created a new word document and save it in another folder.

I found this example: [URL] which is similar except it uses xml template instead of word template, how to make it work to change the template from xml to word (docx) template?

Returning All Occurrences Of C In String

Write a method that accepts an array of Strings and a character c. The method must return the count of all cs in the strings of the array.

Here's what I have written:

[
public int countC(String[] strings, char c) {
int count = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < strings.length; i++) {
for(int j = 0; j < strings[i].length(); j++) {
if(strings[i].charAt(j) == c) {
count++;
}
}

return count;

display the highest sale amount
display the lowest sale amount

using occurrences determine how many times the amount occurred for the week

make a sales main
make a sales data

This is what i have so far but I'm confused on how to start the occurrence and where it would be placed in order to get the information from the array

public class SalesData {

See Occurrences Of A Character In A String Stored In Text File

Apr 26, 2014

I have this program to see the occurrences of a character in a string stored in a text file. My text file has the following contents (as shown below):

P-P-N-N-L-V
N-R-U-S-R-Q
K-Q-E-L-E-A
A-J-B-G-E-F
F-E-L-Q-R-R
U-F-J-V-I-M
P-I-Q-K-B-K
U-N-L-F-O-B
M-A-N-M-H-O
P-Q-J-D-N-I
G-U-O-D-F-I
Q-M-M-B-C-Q
N-B-I-L-E-J
S-A-T-Q-H-U
C-L-G-U-J-M
R-P-V-M-A-A
C-R-A-V-L-B
M-U-Q-K-M-Q
E-I-C-H-V-J
J-N-N-K-R-P

As you notice, each character is seperated by a hyphen (serving as its delimiter). I want to only go through 10 lines in the text, instead of all 20 of them. So, I wrote the program in such a way that I intend to reach into the indices of each character in the text file. Since there are six characters in each line so that means there are 6 indices - and there are 10 lines I only want to go through. So, 6 indices times 10 lines equals 60 indices. Hence, there are only 60 indices I need to go through. In that manner, it's like I have gone through only 10 lines through that way.

It compiled perfectly fine but upon running it, I ran through an error in the black DOS screen that says

"java.lang.ArrayIndexOutofBoundsException: 6 ".

How do I work around that?

The code I wrote is shown below...

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class hotandcoldclusterdeterminer_test {
public static void main (String args [])throws IOException {
