Thread: Help with a Game that's gone wrong.

HI i currently have this code:

//Imports packages
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
 
//class name
class Parkour
 
 
//i think this is right
  public void static main ( String[] args )
 
//These varibles have been declared right
{
String proname = "";
String programq = "";
char programa = "y";
String programc = "";
int Strength ="";
int Agility ="";
int Charisma ="";
 
 
     System.out.println("Sub Question 3");
 
    System.out.println("\nBy Harry Thompson cook");
 
 
//And here's where the problem starts:
 
 
         System.out.println("\nTron:Parkour");
 
      System.out.print("\nWhat is your name:");
 
//Hope i've done this right
 
    InputStreamReader isr =
              new InputStreamReader(System.in );
 
          BufferedReader buffer = new BufferedReader( isr );
 
//All Good?
  try
{
       proname = buffer.readline();
       buffer.close();
}
catch ( IOException e )
{
        System.out.println( "Invalid Name choose again program!");
}
 
     System.out.println("\nWelcome" + name);
 
      System.out.print("\nWe must go through some basic setup options, Proceed y/n?");
 
InputStreamReader isr =
     new InputStreamReader(System.in );
 
 
     BufferedReader buffer = new Bufferedreader( isr );
 
try
{
       programq = buffer.readline();
       buffer.close();
}
catch ( IOException e )
{
          System.out.println("Invalid Input");
}
 
if(programq == programa)
{
 
  System.out.println("\n You have 10 energy point's");
  System.out.println("\n You can use these to upgrade either");
  System.out.println("\nStrength");
  System.out.println("\nAgility");
  System.out.println("\nOr Charisma");
  System.out.println("\nEach of these Qualties can help you out on your mission");
  System.out.println("\nStrength will help you out when the going get's tough");
  System.out.println("\nAgility makes it easier to run from fights and can help in infiltrating buildings");
  System.out.println("\nIf you choose Charisma you could use your looks to help you out in tough situation's");
  System.out.println("\nNow it is the time to choose what skills you want:");
  System.out.print("\nHow much energy will you give to strenth?");
 
 InputStreamReader isr =
      new InputStreamReader(System.in );
 
 
 
   BufferedReader buffer = new Bufferedreader( isr );
 
try
{
 
    Strength = buffer.readline();
    buffer.close();
}
catch ( IOException e )
{
      System.out.println(\n You must input a number!);
}
 
 
 
 
{
 
}
else
{
   System.out.println("Setup Will Exit");
}

So i know it's messy but if someone could help me out it would be very much appreciated.

Do you get errors? Then copy an paste the full error messages.
Do you get incorrect behaviour? Then describe what it should do and what it does do instead.

//And here's where the problem starts:

I don't see any problem. Please identify what it is that went wrong like Junky said.

There are no brackets after the class definition

There are a couple of mistakes here I wanted to point out.

catch ( IOException e )
{
        System.out.println( "Invalid Name choose again program!");
}

This will not do what you are expecting it to. It will not print your error message when someone enters rubbish input like "123"

System.out.println("\nWelcome" + name);

There should be a space inside the quotes after Welcome. As it is it will print "WelcomeChris".

if(programq == programa)

This is a very common mistake made by new java programmers. To check equality of string use programq.equals(programa)

On a more general note, try and get the behaviour of your program working correctly before you fill out the details.

incase u do not understand chris:

second problem is simply easy to fix

System.out.println("\nWelcome, " + name);

Add a space after Welcome inside the string.

Third problem should be
if(programq.equals(programa))

First problem souldnt be printing to a console. you should have a new JLabel in your GUI and set the text to your error message. newLabel.setText("");

Also if you are a beginner programmer, should you really be attempting to create such a complex game for your level?

also to help you out abit you could also print the exception error name in the catch and then simply throw it from the method..
public void methodName() throws ExceptionName
