I'm getting desparate... I need to make a checkers game, and i'm trying to program jumps for the computer. the code itself isn't wrong, but the loops don't trigger for some reason, and i can't figure out why. I'm basically asking everyone I know on the internet for help, just in case anyone knows java.
here's the code:
while (done == false)
{
for (int i=5;i>=0;i--)
{
for(int j=7;j<=0;j--)
{
if (square[j].getColor() == "black" && done == false)
{
if (j<=5 && square[i+1][j+1].getColor() == "red" && square[i+2][j+2].getColor() == " " && !done)
{
square[j].moveFrom();
square[j].setColor(" ");
square[i+2][j+2].moveTo("black");
square[i+2][j+2].setColor("black");
square[i+1][j+1].moveFrom();
square[i+1][j+1].setColor(" ");
countred--;
done = true;
}
if(j>=2 && square[i+1][j-1].getColor() == "red" && square[i+2][j-2].getColor() == " " && !done)
{
square[j].moveFrom();
square[j].setColor(" ");
square[i+2][j-2].moveTo("black");
square[i+2][j-2].setColor("black");
square[i+1][j-1].moveFrom();
square[i+1][j-1].setColor(" ");
countred--;
done = true;
}
}
}
}
You need to know double dimentioned arrays and conditionals to make sense out of this, but if ANYONE can figure why the loops aren't triggering please tell me.
