penny pitch anyone?

[javaman90]

i am trying to make a penny pitch game. the sum is returned at the end of the game and the player has 2 options: toss and quit. the program does this when the toss option is clicked: generates two random numbers from teh row n column toss, add number at this position to the running total, and displays the board replacing the numbers with P's where pennies land.

here is what the board looks like

1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 2 2 2 2 2 1
1 2 3 3 3 2 1
1 2 3 5 3 2 1
1 2 3 3 3 2 1
1 2 2 2 2 2 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1

the boards position are indexed starting at [1,1] in the top left, not [0,0], thus the rows n columns go from 1 to 7.

i have succcessfully programed this in c++, but am unable to do so in java...arrays are just not my thing

if anyone can assist, that would be great, thanks.

What exactly do you need help with?

What exactly do you need help with?

i basically need help getting started, like setting up the array/game board...i can pretty much take care of the rest

[Ganon11]

Well, that depends on what exactly needs to be in the game board. Will it be a 2D integer array? Will it be objects?

The basic syntax will be:

<Typename> board = new <Typename>[<xSize>][<ySize>];

and then you can fill it like you would in C++.

This wouldn't perchance be a homework assignment would it? If it is, cool assignment, I never got to make a game in my classes.

In my classes, we weren't allowed to do 'games', as this would violate school policy. We worked on 'projects' with eerily familiar titles like Chess and Minesweeper.

I made it a point to make a game every two weeks.

We are not here to do students' assignments.
We only assist them to get it right.

I have the same problem. Our class needs to make a penny pitch game with a board like follows: 1 1 1 1 1
1 2 2 2 1
1 2 3 2 1
1 2 2 2 1
1 1 1 1 1

I was wondering if some one could help me with the program not do it.

Directions:
a player tosses several pennies on the board aiming for the number with the highest value. At the end of the game, the total of the tosses is returned. Develop a program that plays this game. The program should perform the following steps each time the user selects the TOSS button: Generate 2 random numbers for the row and column toss. Add the number at this position to a running total. Display the board, replacing the numbers with P's where the pennies land.

Should use a 2D array of square objects. Each square contains a number like those above (board) and a boolean flag that indicates a penny has landed on a square.

hey im doing this in my comp sci class i thought i had the code right but for some reason it wont work when i try to compile it. could someone please tell me whats wrong with my code? Id really appreciate it.

hey im doing this in my comp sci class i thought i had the code right but for some reason it wont work when i try to compile it. could someone please tell me whats wrong with my code? Id really appreciate it.

By "compile it" and "won't work" I assume the compiler complained about your code, i.e. it is syntactically incorrect. Compilers usually emit a readable error diagnostic message; one per error. Did you read them and understand them? If not why not copy/paste those messages here instead of making us guess.

kind regards,

And what is the name of the file?
