    Unhappy DiceGame - Saving Values Of Rolled Die In Int Array

    Hey,

    im currently working an Dicegame which consists of the classes Wuerfel.java(translates to Dice), Player.java and the executable class DiceGame.java.

    In the main method 3 Player-objects are createt which themselves create a specific number of Dice-objects.

    In each round all dice are rolled for each player.
    Now I want to save the number of eyes showing for each die rolled.

    Means:
    Player.one rolled 3 times with 3 dice each -> 1 4 5 6 3 3 1 4 2
    Now I want those values saved in an int array in the Dice class.

    At the end of the game I want to print the history of rolled die of the player with the highest score.

    I have tried for hours now, just cant get it to work...I hope you understand this nonsense

    Here is my Code:

    public class DiceGame {
     
    	public static void main(String[] args) {
     
    		int runden = In.readInt("Wieviel Runden sollen gespielt werden?");
    		int[] arrayHistorie = new int[9];
     
    		Player one = new Player(runden);
    		Player two = new Player(runden);
    		Player three = new Player(runden);
     
    		for(int i = 0; i < runden; i++) {
    		one.play();
    		two.play();
    		three.play();
    		}
     
    		System.out.println("Punkte Spieler 1: "  + one.getScore());
    		System.out.println("Punkte Spieler 2: "  + two.getScore());
    		System.out.println("Punkte Spieler 3: "  + three.getScore());
     
    	}
     
    }

    public class Player {
     
    	private int score, counter;
    	private int[] eyeHist;
    	private Wuerfel dice[];
     
    	public Player(int nWuerfel) {
    	dice = new Wuerfel[nWuerfel];
    		for (int i = 0; i < dice.length; i++) {
    			dice[i] = new Wuerfel();
    		}
    	}
     
    	public void play() {
    		for (int i = 0; i < dice.length; i++) {
    			dice[i].wuerfeln();
    		}
    		score += calcScore();
    		counter++;
    	}
     
    	public int calcScore() {
    		int zwischenStand = 0;
    		for (int i = 0; i < dice.length; i++) {
    			if (istPassch(dice) == false) {
    				zwischenStand += dice[i].getAugen();
    			} else {
    				zwischenStand += (dice[i].getAugen() * 2);
    			}
    		}
    		return zwischenStand;
     
    	}
    	public boolean istPassch(Wuerfel[] dice) {
    		for (int i = 0; i < dice.length; i++) {
    			if (dice[0].getAugen() != dice[i].getAugen()) {
    				return false;
    			}
    		}
    		return true;
    	}
     
    	public int getScore() {
    		return score;
    	}
     
    	public int[] getResults() {
    		eyeHist = new int[counter];
     
    		return eyeHist;
    	}
     
    	public void reset() {
     
    			for (int i = 0; i < dice.length; i++) {
    			dice[i] = new Wuerfel();
    		}
     
    		}
    	}

    public class Wuerfel {
     
    	private int augen, min, max, counter = 0;
    	private int[] dieHistorie = new int[100];
     
    	// Default constructor which sets the default values
    	public Wuerfel() {
     
    		this(1, 6);
    	}
     
    	// Constructor that sets default values using parameters
    	public Wuerfel(int min, int max) {
     
    		this.min = min;
    		this.max = max;
    	}
     
    	// Method that returns the shown eyes of the die
    	public int getAugen() {
     
    		return augen;
    	}
     
    	public void setAugen(int augen) {
    		this.augen = augen;
    	}
     
    	// Method that rolls the die and returns a random number
    	public int wuerfeln() {
    		int range = (max - min) + 1;
     
    		augen = (int) (Math.random() * range) + min;
     
    		return augen;
    	}
     
    	public void setHistorie() {
                       clueless
    	}
     
    	public int getHistorie(int v) {
     
    		return dieHistorie[v];
    	}
    }

    I have tried everything..the best I could get was the first value of every rolled die for each player.

    The set method should have an argument that is the value to be used in the set.
    To save a value in an array, use an assignment statement:
      theArray[theIndex] = theValue;
    Change the value of theIndex after each save to move to the next slot in the array.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    First, is it necessary to use an int array? I could imagine a throwDice method in the Player class which basically does what your Wuerfel class does. Each throw would return an instance of a Dice class and could be stored in either Dice array or an ArrayList<Dice> in each player class. So each Player would record their own throw history. The show history method would simply iterate over the Dice array or List.

    Default Re: DiceGame - Saving Values Of Rolled Die In Int Array

    Unfortunately I have to use an int array.

    I have changed my get method, it gets called with a counter which is incrementet everytime a die is thrown.

    The dieHistorie array now gets filled as its supposed and when I try to print it out by itself it works.

    But to print it out I have to call the method int[] getResults(); in the Player class.

    I struggle to get all the values from the dieHistorie arrays in the different Dice objects into one array in the Player object.

    This sounds like so much nonsene when trying to type it out.

    When I call following method from the Player object it prints out all the correct values:

    Player.java
     
    public void printhistorie() {
    		for (int i = 0; i < dice.length; i++) {
    			for(int j = 0; j < dice.length; j++) {
    			System.out.println("Throw: " + dice[i].getHistorie(j));
    		}
    		}
    	}

    Now instead of printing it out directly I have to store the values in an array.

    I have tried every variety of for loops that exists, but holy moly, feels impossible

    Thank you guys for your answers!

    /edit

    I might have expressed myself wrong in the inital post, I dont want to store all values in the array in the Dice(Wuerfel) class, in this array are just the values for this.dice object.

    Where I need to get all values in a single array is in getResults();, like explained above.

    Does the history record the sum of the rolls or the individual dice values? I assumed the later.

    Your assumption is right.

    Right now I am trying my luck with an ArrayList since I dont need to worry about the index so much.

    I'll keep you updated!

    Alright, I got it working! I put the elements into an array list first and then i was able to get all values into an array.

    Thanks for the help guys!
