Java Help

[Rhino_haha]

(I have the code for the board, I just need what's below VVVV)

- Add a game piece to the game.(image that i have) Position it initially on the lower right corner (GO). Note that this image has transparency, thus it does show through all the material that is drawn underneath it.

- Add a new button with the name Move that is going to move a game piece around the board. From the initial position, the game piece is first going to move left, and then up then right and back down to reach the Go position again, one section at a time. Note that you can implement this movement by using two position indicators, one marking whether the piece is going up or down and another one to indicate whether you need to move left or right.

- You can remove the images from the corner positions, and move the game piece one by one, landing on every possible section in the game (this means that the corner images are not used as jail as in the real game).

Ikrit thinks people should do their own programming work. If you have any specific problems with something that you wrote, post the code and ask.

I would help but I were learning java for while than I just forgot everything lol, Now that you remind me I wanna start learning it again. Well maybe in the future.

I dont necessarily need the entire working code, if you could get me started even that'd be great.

If you can't start the code, someone writing it for you won't help you.

Agreed with Ikrit; there is nobody here that is going to do your homework.
Go find a few (e-)books that learn you how to make your first basic program and start working on it yourself.

Practically nobody writes their own code completely so stop having a go.

not that I can help.

[Ikrit]

Funny how you tell that to 2 people that do write their own code.

ooo hasbro are going to sue you so bad

Create a class called something like 'Piece'.

It needs at least 2 private data members xPos, yPos.
It needs at least 2 public functions: move and draw

Move can take as an argument (int numSquares) and it will update xPos and yPos. Draw will draw the piece at xPos, yPos.

After you "roll" you call Move and Draw. Something like:

distance = rollDice()
piece.move(distance)
piece.draw()

That's one way to design it. Deciding whether to do it this way, figuring out details, and coding should be up to you. Especially since we don't know all the details of the assignment.

EDIT: Thinking about it more:
xPos and yPos might need to be public data members if the board (rest of the game) needs to know where the piece is. For instance the board might need to know the xPos and yPos to know when a Community Card etc needs to be issued.

I can't remember if the game has cards that send you backwards "x" squares, but you might need to figure out whether Move can take negative numbers.

I did a quick search and I think you can learn alot from this project http://sourceforge.net/projects/javamonopoly/
especially since it's not in such an advanced state yet and setup quite clearly.

RANDOMIZE TIMER
FOR x = 1 TO 10000
PRINT "school is stupid and i hate school"

y = RND * 14
COLOR y
NEXT x

Some people just don't like to help around here.. Calm your ego's. If you have the skills to program plus you want to help out making events for this game, you would help this guy out. Period.

the only reason rhino is taking compy sci is so he can get staff as a bot coder....durrr

Indeed give the piece 2 coordinates. A xCoord and yCoord. Initially both coords are 11, as the bord is 11x11.
Then just make a method move();
As it can only move 1 box a time you don't need to give arguments with it.
The draw() is useless, as you can do a repaint(); in your move() method.

Just change the coords in the draw() method. Think of something so that it first xCoord = xCoord - 1; a few times first to move it to the left. Then yCoord = yCoord - 1; etc ... Could do it with a click counter, but there are better ways.

In your paintComponent(Graphics g) method you just let it draw the piece on the specified coordinates. Pretty easy.

Then you can just put the buttonHandler on it so it'll do piece.move(); and it's all fine.
