    Default Re: Lost in code problem- minor errors causing major problems

    You're trying to use a variable that holds a null reference on line 100 of SorcerersCave.java. You will want to check the variables on that line, find out which one is null, and look back into your code to find a place to initialize it before you use it.

    Note that I see that your code is mis-using inheritance. There is no way that Creature or Artifact should extend SourcerersCave since they both fail the "is-a" rule: neither sub class is a more specialized version of the parent class.

    i set them to extend the SorceresCave because they are elements in the game, is this not right?

    Being elements in the game is not a reason for them to inherit the class. For inheritance to work, again the child classes need to be more specialized versions of the parent class. There's no way that I can conceive of a Creature or an Artifact to be more specialized versions of the game class, no way. I fear that this may be the source of your problem, but I can't tell since I do not know which line of your code is the one that threw the exception.

    Consider adding some debug lines in your code such as:

          System.out.println("partyByIndex: " + partyByIndex);
          SorcerersCave foo = caveMap.get(partyByIndex);
          System.out.println("foo: " + foo); // I'm betting this will return -- foo: null
     
          ((Party) caveMap.get(this.partyByIndex)).addCreature(this);

    Then figure out why the Map doesn't hold what you think it holds.

    Update on answer: I think that your SourcerersCave class should perhaps be an interface not a class, a "marker" interface much like Serializable is a marker interface.

    Default Re: Lost in code problem- minor errors causing major problems

    That's not a NullPointerException but rather a NoSuchElementException usually thrown by a Scanner object, and that's a whole different issue!

    --- Update ---

    Use more debugging statements to see which line is causing the problem. I would print each line once obtained before trying to scan the individual line, and then see which line causes the error. Once you see which line of text is causing the error and which line of code is causing it, the cause will be obvious to you, and so will the solution. Note that that particular type of line of text is different in what it allows than all of the types of line. (hint)

    You need to print out the full text of the String that is read BEFORE breaking it into tokens with the Scanner class methods so you can see what line is causing the problem.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
