Treasure Game
Hey guys I'm pretty new to java. I need to make a game based on a grid 12 x 12. Uncovering a tile on the grid will either reveal a piece of treasure or nothing. Each piece of treasure is worth a certain amount of points and can take up several spaces on the grid.
Now like I said I'm not that brilliant with java, I don't even know where to start.
I presume the best way to do this would be using a 2d array.
So far I have
publicclass Board{
int grid [][] =newint [12][12];
privatestaticfinalint Row = 12;
privatestaticfinalint Column = 12;
privatestaticfinalint RowHeight = 50;
privatestaticfinalint ColumnWidth = 50;
What I need to do is be able to randomise the pices of treasure each time a new game is started. I have no idea how to do this. So far my code for the treasure looks like this.
publicclass Treasure{
publicfinalint EMPTY = 0;//No treasure found at this location
publicfinalint RING = 1;//Ring found at this locational
publicfinalint SWORD = 2;//Diamond encrusted
publicfinalint STATUE = 3;//Gold statue found at this locationsword found at this location
publicfinalint CHEST = 4;//Treasure chest found at this location
publicfinalint ORIENTATION_UP = 0;//Treasure orientation up
publicfinalint ORIENTATION_RIGHT = 1;//Treasure orientation right
publicfinalint ORIENTATION_DOWN = 2;//Treasure orientation down
publicfinalint ORIENTATION_LEFT = 3;//Treasure orientation left
privateint type;//Integer variable to track type
privateint orientation;//Integer variable to track orientation
privateint column;//Integer variable to track column
privateint row;//Integer variable to track row
privateint area;//Integer variable to track size of treasure
private Treasure(int TreasureType,int dir,int row,int col,int length){
this.type = TreasureType;
this.orientation = dir;
this.column = col;
this.row = row;
this.area = area;
Am i going along the right lines? A pointer in the right direction would be incredibly helpful.
Thanks for any help
