Thread: Minesweeper Game Need Help!

Below is my psuedo code. I need some serious help putting all of this together. Any critiques would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
For now, I need this code written in main, and then eventually split into methods.

public class MineSweeper {
 
public static void main(String[] args) {
//declare variables
System.out.println("Find the empty squares and avoid the mines.");
		//declare variables
		int i;
		int j=0;
       int t2=0;
 
        String[][] gameBoard = new String[9][9];
* bool error
*/
 
//load board
//loadboard(board)
 
int col, row;
for (row= 0; row<9; row++)
{
for (col =0; col<9; col++)
{
board[row][col] = "*";
}
}
//print board
//int col, row;
for (col=0; col<9; col++)
//print " " + col + "|"
for (row+0; row<9; row++)
{
//print row #
for (col=0; col<9; col++)
{
//print " " + board[row][col] + "|"
}
//print "\n"
}
//end print board
 
//turn
while(t2<81){
do{
//print "enter column"
//get column number
//print "enter row"
if board[row][col] !="*"
error = true
}
while(error)
board[row][col]="8";
//endturn
//int col, row;
for(col=0; col<9: col++)
//print " " + col +"|"
for( row=0; row<9; row++)
{
//print row#
for (col=0; col<9; col++)
{
//print " " + board [row][col] + "|";
}
//print "\n"
}
//print board
 
//end print
t2=turn(board);
t2++;
}
}
 
void loadboard(string board[][9])
{
int col, row:
for (row=0;row<9;row++)
{for (col+0; col<9;col++)
{
board[row][col]="*";
}
}
} void print board (string board[][9])
{
int col, row;
for (col=0;col<9; col++)
//print " " + col + "|"
for (row=0; row<9; row++)
{
//print row#
for (col=0; col<9: col++)
{
//print " " + board [row][col]+ "|";
}
//print "\n"
}
}
 
int turn ( string board){
bool error
do{
//print "enter column"
//get column number
//print "enter row"
if board[row][col] != "*"
error = true
}
while (error)
board [row][col]="8";
}
 
}

Program Description:

Create the first part of your MineSweep Game for Java. You will create the following parts for your game. You will write all your code in main:

Game Description - this will describe how to play the game.

Display Board - this will show the "mine field" (mines are hidden from player's view)

Get Input - this method will read in a player's move

PSUEDO CODE:

//main method

// declare the board array [9][9]
// initialize the array with a special character using two for loops
// write the code to Describe the Game - wait for user to hit enter
// clear the screen
// write the code to Display the Board - use two for loops
// write the code to get the row and column from the user - after user enters column clear the screen
// change the row and column of that element in the array
// Display the Board Again (copy code used to Display Board from above)

See sample output.

At this point your game has no real functionality.
Program Constraints:

All code must be written in main. (10 pts)
You must use a 2D Array and initialize it using two for loops ( one for loop embedded in another). (20 pts)
When you display the board you must have row and column headings (see sample output).(10 pts)
The game description will give a description of how the game is to be played (15 pts).
When you read in the row and column of the players move make sure that you Do Not allow erroneous values. (15 pts)
Use proper spelling and formatting for game (must look professional) (20 pts).
Make sure you clear the screen as indicated in the psuedo code. (10pts)

I don't understand bool error or if I need to declare what it returns

arrgghh, this class is so difficult
I sat down with the college tutor and this is the code he came up with. He ran out of time helping me, but I don't understand anything because it's such an advanced code

Java Code:

public class MineSweeper
{
 public static void main(String[] args) 
 {
  //Game Description (Part 1)
  System.out.println("Find the empty squares and avoid the mines.");
  System.out.println();
 
  //declare variables
  int row=0;
  int col=0;
 
 
        String[][] gameBoard = new String[9][9];
 
        System.out.println("******  MINESWEEPER ******");
        System.out.println("----------------------------");
 
        for ( row=0; row<gameBoard.length-1; row++)
 
   for ( col=0; col< gameBoard[row].length-1; col++)
   {
    gameBoard[row][col] = "*";
   }
 
         System.out.print(gameBoard[row][col] + " ");
 
 
         for (col=0; col<9; col++)
         System.out.println( " " + col + "|");
			for (row=0; row<9; row++)
			{
				System.out.println(" " + row + "|");
				for (col=0; col<9; col++)
				{
			System.out.println( " " + gameBoard[row][col] + "|");
				}
				System.out.println("\n");
 
 
 }}}

I need help actually displaying the game board. I've decided to chunk it and work from the beginning. Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

No it's not, I'm trying to get input from other people too :/ I'm just trying to get my homework done

no one is writing....
