Problem: Write a Java application program in which you play a simplified version of minesweeper. Declare IN MAIN (NOT at class-scope) 3 two-dimensional arrays of booleans, one for the computer's game grid, one for the user to guess and one for the results (matches), an int for the row dimension, and an int for the column dimension. Note that ALL the methods are static!
Main must call the following methods (logic for main is below):
Call a method (in a separate class, see 0. below) to prompt and read from the user the row dimension of the grid, assigning the return value to a main int variable. Call it again to get the column dimension, assigning the return value to another main int variable.
Call a method (I'm calling it allocateGrid, see 1. below) 3 times, to allocate memory for a 2-dimensional array of boolean (rowDimension X columnDimension) and return it in a return statement. Assign to each of the 3 2-dim. array variables (declared in main, described above).
Calculate the average of the rowDim and columnDim, assign to a main int variable for number of spots.
**Call a method (I'm calling it setRandomValues, see 2. below) that will assign numSpots values to true in random locations in the 2-dim. array for the game grid (parameter)
Call a method (in a separate class, I'm calling it setInputValues, see 3. below) that will assign numSpots values to true in the 2-dim. array for the user guesses (parameter) based on user input.
Call a method (I'm calling it compareGrids, see 4. below) that will assign corresponding elements to true in the 2-dim. array for the results (parameter) for each corresponding true element in the game grid (another parameter) that is true in the user guesses 2-dim. array (parameter)
Print "Your guesses", then call a method (I'm calling it displayGrid, see 5. below) for the user guesses 2-dim. array, and also pass 'G' for where the user placed a guess (elements are true).
Print "Game Mines", then call the displayGrid method for the game grid, and also pass '*' (asterisk) for where the randomly placed "mines" were placed (elements are true)
Print "Your matches", then call the displayGrid method for the results grid, and also pass 'M' for where the spots are true.
Using another method in the separate class (see 6. below), prompt the user and read (into a String) if the user wants to play another. If the method returns true, repeat to ** .
More on the above-mentioned methods:
0. Put the method that reads and returns one of the dimensions of the Grid in a separate class from main's class (I'm calling it InputMethods). After prompting and reading a dimension, if the input dimension is < 5 or > 20, loop to prompt and read again. If the input dimension is in range, return int.
1. In the allocateGrid method (with 2 int parameters):
check if each dimension (parameter) is > 0, if not change the parameter to 1 (check one at a time)
return (in a return statement) a rowDim X columnDim, 2-dim. array of boolean(continued)
2. In the setRandomValues method (with a parameter for a 2-dim. array and the number of spots to set), do the following:
Call another method (I'm calling initGrid) that will set all the elements of the parameter 2-dim. array to false. This method must have ONLY one parameter (2-dim. array)!
In a loop, use the random() method in the Math class in a calculation to get an index for the "row" (1st dim.) between 0 and row length-1 (inclusive) -- (see last page). Also use the random() method again for the "column" (2nd dim.) index (between 0 and column length-1, inclusive). Assign true (means there's a mine there) to the element at the row & column ONLY if it isn't true already. Assign to numSpots elements (no less).
3. In the setInputValues method (with a parameter for a 2-dim. array and the number of spots to set), do the following:
call initGrid for the 2-dim. array parameter
In a loop, call a method in the InputMethods class to get a row index from the user, then call another InputMethods method to get a column index (see 7. and 8. below). Don't assign true (meaning the user is guessing there's a mine there) to the element if the element at the row & column is already true. Assign to exactly numSpots elements (no less).
4. In the compareGrids method, compare each of the corresponding elements in the game grid (parameter) to the user guesses (parameter). If the corresponding elements are both true, assign true to the corresponding element in the results (parameter). Otherwise, assign false.Â
5. In the method that displays a 2-dim. array (parameter), display a space where the element is false, and a char (parameter) where the element is true.
6. In the method that determines if the user wants to repeat (put in the InputMethods class), prompt the user asking is he/she wants to continue and read into a String. If the beginning char of the answer string is 'y' or 'Y', then return true. Otherwise (if the user enters anything else), return false.
7. In the InputMethods method that reads a row index, after prompting the user for the row index, check if the row index is >=0 and < parameter (for the row dimension). If not, prompt and read again (in a loop) until the row index is in range.
8. In the InputMethods method that reads a column index (could be the same method as the input row index method), after prompting the user for the column index, check if the column index is >=0 and < parameter (for the column dimension). If not, prompt and read again (in a loop) until the column index is in range.
USE final static VARIABLES FOR 5 AND 20 IN YOUR PROGRAM. DO NOT REALLOCATE MEMORY FOR EACH 2-DIM. ARRAY IN THE PROGRAM (ONLY ALLOCATE ONCE FOR EACH 2-DIM. ARRAY)! DO NOT USE ANY CLASS-SCOPE VARIABLES unless they're static AND final! ALL METHODS ARE static. ALWAYS check the array bounds correctly (both dimensions)!
Input to use for turning in:
play at least 3 games in one run (but allow for more)
enter out of range dimension (< 5 and > 20)
enter out of range (too large and also < 0) row or column index, more than
twice for one index
enter a row and column already set (try 2 times)
match at least 2 mines, AND CHECK YOUR OUTPUT (did it match correctly?)
