    Default Running java program

    Hi,
    I know this is going to be a basic question for most of you, but I'm completely stumped. I'd like to run this program on my computer github.com/sixhat/ChessInfluenceViewer
    But I'm currently using a works computer and I cant install java on the machine. Is there any way to use it using an online compiler. I know there's java compilers online, but because all the files are in different folders, I'm struggling to run anything
    Thanks for any help
    Regards
    Mike

    I have not heard of an online site where a java program can be executed for testing.

    way to flip the board so you can play with black,
    Have you traced the logic to find the code that sets up the board?

    Yes, it looks like the program has lots of bugs.
    You need to understand the program's logic before starting to make changes.
    pieces to stop overwriting another piece
    Find the code that does the move to see what values and variables are used.
    How does a square indicate it is occupied? Use that info to keep from moving a piece to an occupied square.

    I use print statements to trace a program's logic flow. The print outs should show where the program executes and what the values of the variables are when the print statement is executed.
    Add print statements that show the name of the method and the values of the variables that are used in the method.

    Here is a statement to print out a 2 dim array with each row on a new line:
    System.out.println(java.util.Arrays.deepToString(board).replaceAll("],", "]\n"));

    Hi Norm
    Really appreciate all the help... I created a new package in the civ folder then added your code. This didnt work, I assumed it wouldnt because i didnt really know what I was doing. I tried googling it but still couldnt work out where to put it. You couldnt tell me where to add it please, and if it needs any modification so its specific to my code.
    Thanks
    Mike

    where to add it
    The code I posted was for printing out the contents of the board array any time it was changed. You need to look in the code, find where the board array is being changed and then add the statement I gave somewhere after the statement that changes the array.

    That was just a sample. You should also add print statements in other places to see what the code is doing.

    If you have questions about your code, please post the code here wrapped in code tags. No images.

    Let me see if I can get this straight. You want to run a computer of network using Java. Compiling your own programs too. So you'll want to re-engineer the whole computer and have clients on it. Like an Apache Tomcat. With out windows as the main operating system. I suppose you could build your own system and have others accept you through time. Of course. Lots of clients now.
