Create 2D Game That Has Realistic Space Simulation
Jul 31, 2014
I am attempting to create a 2d game that has a realistic space simulation. The map is supposed to be set so that you are looking from the top down. The problem I am having exists in my interaction between the sun and a planet. Simply put, the planet will only move in a single diagonal direction without ever changing direction. The formulas I am using are F=(G*M1*M2)/D^2 and A=F/M. The code below is simplified.
(inside planet Class)
double x;
double y;
double mass;
double xForce;
double yForce;
double xAccel;
double yAccel;
[Code] ....
Things I have already tried:
1. Setting G to negative
2. changing the order of the subtraction in determining D
3. some weird pythagorean theorem thing someone suggested

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;

1: 3D space. How do i define the space where i will make my world? Is there a certain point that i will define as 0,0,0 or is there some other way.
2: Camera positioning. When i have the 3D space, how to i make it so that the camera will show that what i want it to show. Lets say il define its lokatios 30,50,100 and direction is NW, then how to i make it so that is see the SW direction from the point 30,50,100?

I'm working on a space invaders game and I'm having problems with collision detection. My main issue is I'm having problems getting what the y value of the "missile" is as it goes up towards the top of the game. I have tried for many hours and tried to look at other people's space invaders game in an attempt to figure out how to figure out my problem. Also I'm not sure if I have the code for my collision detection in the correct spot. Right now I have the code in the keyPressed method. Below is the code for the main and missle classes ...

I am setting text to textarea from textfield. It works perfectly. My challenge, however, is setting texts with spaces in-Between them. For example, what I observe is:Amount23 instead of: Amount 23. Is it possible to automatically create word space while setting texts?

I am trying to create a Hangman game with a gui. i already have buttons for the letters, each with its own action listener. I'm having difficulties creating the gallows and man.
I have a class called guiTest, which contains all of the letters. This is essentially what i have. Can I add the image to this class, or do I need to create a new class that extends JFrame?

So I'd like to make like a library of tiles, and it isn't too big, which I could just call using a method, and I would specificy what information I need to get, and it would return that information.
For example, a small section of the tiles library is grass_tile, I call this library and specify what I need, and in this case let's say I need the width, or can the character enter it from north? or can the character just stand on it? So it's like a library or array, with sections of it being named by tiles, and by mentioning these tiles I can information about them.
gTile("grass","walkon") will return true, first because I specifiy grass, and yes the character can walk on grass, so it returns a boolean value of true.
gTile("stone","width") will return 16, first because I specify stone, and the stone's png image size is 16.
What I'm asking is not for how to work out if the character can walk on the tile, or read the width of a tile, but can I create like a library from which I can obtain information by giving the name of the tile, and then telling it what info I need.
If up key pressed && gTile((yTILE + 1).name(),"walkon") == true then moveChar("up")

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.

I am trying to create the Breakout game and cannot figure how to get the paddle to move and make constraints to bricks disappear when the ball hits them but not the paddle. I tried this:
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent press)
{
obj = paddle;
int key = press.getKeyCode();
if(key == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT)
{
while(true)
{
paddle.move();
}
}
}

You have to create a very basic hangman type of game. Open Notepad and create a list of at least ten words in a text file. Save the file as a .txt file and use it to read words for the game. In this game you do not have to show pictures but you do need to keep track of the amount of times that the user has guessed wrong. When the game starts, show the amount of characters in the word represented as dashes and ask the user to type in a letter. if the user guesses correctly show the word again with the correct letter filled in the correct positions(s) and if the user correctly guessed the word, show a message. If the user guesses wrong, keep track of the body parts that needs to be reduced with every wrong guess and inform the user as well, also show a message.
I'm struggling with reading the file, showing the amount of parts left and asking the user to play again. Here is the code:
package hangman;
/**

* @author

import java.nio.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class HangMan {

The game is too have two players, each user clicks a button and two dices will roll, if a user rolls a double they win.
firstly I have started with two imageview's and a button I am trying to randomise two images by clicking one button I have managed to randomise one image in one box but I am struggling to randomise both image views here is my code so far.
import java.util.Random;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

I was thinking to make a game where two cars are going to race against each other. I already have two gif pictures which are the cars. I do now have a background and a racer track. So we can start from here.
I have made a object with construction which I called Racers. Inside that, i wrote a PaintWindow (Where the window and much more is inside), -car1, -car2. All these is private. So I made something like this now:
package p2;
public class Race {
private Object window;
private Car car1;
private Car car2;
public Race(PaintWindow window, Car c1, Car c2) {
[Code] .....
But the problem is now that im kinda lost and I dont really know what to write anymore. How can I get a for example a green background on the whole PaintWindow with two Racers tracks and inside the racers tracks (Each car have each track) does it have to be cars. So I need to somehow import the cars inside it too. But thats the problem I need. that I dont really know what more to do. To make it easier, I have a Main-method in another class.
public static void main(String[] args) {
PaintWindow window = new PaintWindow();
Car c1 = new Car(new ImageIcon("C:/Users/Sarah/Desktop/CarBlue.GIF"));
Car c2 = new Car(new ImageIcon("C:Users/Sarah/Desktop/CarRed.GIF"));
Race race = new Race(window,c1,c2);
race.action();
if(args.length>0) {
Paintwindow.pause(2000);
window.dispose();

I'd like to learn more in Java security, namly Kerberos and SSO. The question is weather I have too weak laptop. I have 8 GB ram. How many virtualbox instances od I have to run in order to JAAS, SSO kerberos demo to simulate. For instance VM with Windows 2008 Server -> 3 GB RAM, Centos VM -> 1GB. Is 8 GB RAM in my laptop not too little?
BTW
I do not have yet experience in SSO/Kreberos but I want to know what to do in order to simulate and exercise.

I have a class "ExecuteJob" which has Print Q in the form of Priority Q.
You can keep adding job to the Q by calling one of the method in the class. However, and object cant do things simultaneity can it? While im adding a new job to the print queue, can it be executing and existing job in the print Q.
To achieve that, I would need to implement process and threads? I believe am I right? So that adding a job is independent to being removed?

As you may have known, I'm creating a Bingo simulator from scratch.
Precondition: an n amount of randomly generated cards are created.
Postcondition: After a number is called, cards that has that number will have its value be true.
For example:
Precondition
Java Code:
Card 1 //Name of card
1 24 32 48 63
2 22 41 51 64
3 16 37 52 61
4 19 33 57 72
5 20 34 54 71 //Card with numbers
false false false false false
false false false false false
false false false false false
false false false false false
false false false false false //Card with boolean values to indicate marked values
[Code] .....
So what I want to do is have a method that allows me to use the callRandomNumber method so that the matrix location with that random value is marked true for all of the boards.

I am writing a simple program to simulate a traffic light. What I want is to make them glow after each 1 second, one by one. For example: Firstly Red, then after 10 seconds, red will be put to off and yellow will start glowing and then accordingly green. This process shall continue incessantly (Just for experimental purpose). I have some arrangement done but could not figure out how to put them together in run() method of Runnable interface. I know how interthread communication works. But could not find any logic in this case when three threads will run together.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class TrafficLight extends JFrame implements Runnable

I'm very new to Java (I literally started learning it yesterday) and I've been working on a simple program that's meant to simulate interactions between optics objects and light rays.
Everything has been going really well, except that my mirrors only reflect the first ray that comes in contact with them.
Here's a screenshot : 2014-09-13 at 7.39.23 PM.jpg
I wrote 7 classes:
Main class to create the optics objectOptics class. the most important class that uses a recursive function to detect the nearest intersection point of a ray with the nearest optics object. It then calculates a reflected ray and inputs it back into the function until no intersections are found or the max recursion depth is met.Ray. creates a rays (in parametric form O + tD where O is the origin, D is the direction and t is a non-negative scalar)Object. empty abstract class used for polymorphism (so when i add more optics objects like prisms and lenses they'll share the object type)Mirror. Basically a line segment created with the Line classLine. Creates a line segmentDraw. JComponent with paintComponent function that loops through an array of shapes and draws them to the screen.
What I know so far is that the problem boils down to the checkRay() function in the Optics class. When a mirror has already reflected a ray, the line:
Intersection sec = new Intersection(ray,(Mirror)obj);
creates an intersection with a null point.
I debugged it line by line and found the problem was that my variable 't' (that is the parameter for the parametric line which represents the mirror) in the Intersection class got big values when it's meant to be between 0 and 1 (since it's a line segment), which resulted in the function returning null (as it should when 't' is not between 0 and 1).
I've confirmed with tests that this has nothing to do with the specific mirror or angle of incidence. It only occurs when a mirror has already been intersected with by a ray.
I've found out that my function:
public PVector getNormal(PVector D){
D.normalize();
return new PVector(D.y,-D.x);
}
Changes the value of the 'D' PVector of the mirror inside my 'objects' ArrayList. How can it access the private PVector 'D' from outside the Mirror class? This normalization to the direction vector is what causes the Intersection class to return null the second time around!
The problem was that in the getNormal function, the input vector argument was a reference to the 'D' vector for the mirror in my 'objects' ArrayList so the .normalize() function acted upon the original vector, changing it's value and screwing things up. The two classes I talked about:
Optics: (note line 64. this line returns a null intersection when it shouldn't)
package ofer.davidson;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Optics {
//Arrays to store all the optics objects and rays that are created
ArrayList<Object> objects;
ArrayList<Ray> rays;
[Code] .....
Also why doesn't my background turn white??

I am making a elevator simulator for my class. It needs to be "event time". I am having trouble understanding how I can make an "event time" simulator. Initially I was using a while loop to run a clock time simulation of x seconds for each event, until I ran into a concrete wall and had to call another method which took X seconds, while still needing to execute code.
An example of what I did is:
Spawn person -> person.goToElevator (Takes x seconds) - > person.waitForElevator (Until elevator arrives, x seconds). While this is happening, I needed to create another person and do the same thing, this will add another to the queue if the first person is still waiting. Etc etc, you get the point.
We have not learnt about multi threading, that is the next assignment.
Here is a quote from my lecturer:
"That's right, it requires multi-threading which we're not doing in this paper. Here's a solution that can work:
The person waiting for the lift and then doing lots of other things should do all that in a fraction of a second. So, you don't let the person really wait. Instead, you will set a timestamp in the future in the person object that "he's busy till that time". In all other steps in your simulation you will first check if a person is "busy" (i.e. has a timestamp in the future). If so, you can't use this object, otherwise, you can.
How does it create a bigger queue? Outputs I would have in my final simulation would be, averageQueueLength, numOfPeopleInBuilding etc.

how to setup a program that simulates the progression of a line over time.The scenario involves a bank and 5 tellers. There is one line of customers that starts off with an initial length of 20. Every minute, 10 more customers are added to the line. As this is meant to be a FIFO queue the first 11 customers in the line will be distrusted among the 5 bank tellers as follows: Teller #1 will process 1 customer per minute, Teller #2 and #3 can each process 2 customers per minute, and Teller #4 and #5 can each process 3 customers per minute. Therefore, the first 11 customers in line will be processed within the first minute of the programs execution.
Unfortunately, I am not sure how to attack this thing. I am thinking that I need to setup a queue for the initial 20 customers and an array for the 10 customers that will be joining the line every minute. However, I am not sure how I can set this up to work automatically.

1. A = (B + C) * D - E;
2. F = (G + H) - (I + J);
3. G = H + A[I];
4. If (I == J) F = G + H;
Else F = G - H;
5. Loop: G = G + A[I];
I = I + J;
If (I != H) Goto Loop;
6. If (G < H) Goto Less;
7. While (save[I] == K)
I = I + J;

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.
