Anyone know this year's GridWorld code? I need help on making a class.

public class fly extends Actor
{
	public fly()
	{
		setColor(Color.BLACK);
	}
	
	public fly(Color flyColor)
	{
		setColor(flyColor);
	}
	
	public void act()
	{
		if (canMove())
		{
			move();
		}
		else
		{
			turn();
		}
	}
	
	public void move()
	{
		if (getGrid() == null)
		{
			return;
		}
		ArrayList<Actors> actors = getActors();
		processActors(actors);
		ArrayList<Location> moveLocs = getMoveLocations();
		Location loc = selectMoveLocation(moveLocs);
		makeMove(loc);
	}
	
	public ArrayList<Actor> getActors()
	{
		return getGrid().getOccupiedLocations(getLocation());
	}
	
	public void processActors(ArrayList<Actor> actors)
	{
		for (Actor a : actors)
		{
			if (!(a instanceof Rock) && !(a instanceof Critter) && !(a instanceof fly) && !(a instanceof Bug))
			{
				a.removeSelfFromGrid();
			}
		}
	}
	
	public ArrayList<Location> getMoveLocations()
	{
		return getGrid().get //NEED HELP HERE!
	}
	
	public Location selectMoveLocation(ArrayList<Location> locs)
	{
		int n = locs.size();
		if (n == 0)
		{
			return getLocation();
		}
		int r = (int)(Math.random() * n);
		return locs.get(r);
	}
	
	public void makeMove(Location loc)
	{
		if (loc == null)
		{
			removeSelfFromGrid();
		}
		else
		{
			moveTo(loc);
		}
	}    
}

The above code is my idea for a fly class that moves around a bounded grid randomly. I cannot "eat" rocks, bugs, critters, and other flies. My problem is in the getMoveLocation s method. I want it to be able to move randomly to any spot. But there is no method in the actor or grid class that says getValidMoveLoc ations. I think you need the getOccupiedLoca tion and subtract it from the grid? It's just an idea though.

Thanks

I don't know what GridWorld is; are you talking about this one?

Yeah it is. I basically have to create a new type of Actor.

Yeah it is. I basically have to create a new type of Actor.

I skimmed a bit through the API documentation for the Grid and found the method
getEmptyAdjacen tLocations(Loca tion loc). That should be a starting point.

Yeah, my idea for it was to make a new ArrayList.

So it would be something like,

ArrayList<Actor> valLocs = getGrid - getOccupiedLocations.

something along those lines
