Maybe a better game then would be chess to start.

Hi,
I just want to keep this very simple just for my learning for now and say
that all the player can do is move around. Maybe that's a bit too simple,
but I'm coming from almost 0 knowledge and trying to get my head around OO.
Thanks.
Jim

Hmmm... I think, and this is coming from a guy who still has almost a
year before his first CS degree (so take it with a grain of salt)
that:
1. What is the player doing/what can he do, and what is/can the field
do? If the field can move the player, then the field needs the
player's location. If the player needs to move and the field has
nothing to do with it, then the player needs his location and that of
any objects with which he might interact.
2. You may want to forget both of them, and have a master object that
knows everything about both and can manipulate them both at will. I
always think of it in terms of perspective: if I am a player, then I
have no way of knowing everything. If I am a field, I know everything,
but I have no power to manipulate it. Therefore, if it were me, I
would introduce a god-like object able to see and know all. Let god
move the player on the field, that way, once the rest of the team (and
the opposing team) come onto the field, god can still see everyone and
decide what to do when, say, two players collide. You may want to turn
the field into god, butthen you have a very powerful field and,
personally, I would rename it something else anyway and just leave a
static 2d array of positions as the actual field.
I hope that made some sense. Again, I have little experience outside
of classes and my own projects, so take this for what it is worth.
