Roll die
Add result to current location
If (current location > 40)
{
Current location = current location - 40
Collect200quid()
}
This should work where current position is a variable holding the relevant
integer

Hi,
For some reason, I'm not understanding what you're asking, but as I was reading
your message I thought about something. There must be some formula for figuring
this out, but I'm not coming up with it right now. In Monopoly, there are 40
spaces on the board. On the dice, there are 11 numbers from 2 to 12. You can
never roll a 1, because you are actually throwing two dice, and each one is
going to show a number from 1 to 6. You are going to roll the dice and get a
number that is going to move you past the 40th slot in the array. You have to
be able to figure out how to jump back to the first slot and start to move back
up to slot 40. For example, let's say you are on slot 39 and roll a 2. Instead
of 41, you have to go back to slot 1. I just remembered as I wrote this that
arrays start at slot 0, but you get the idea.
Thanks.
Jim

Hello list,
For an assignment I am trying to create a text-based self-playing board game. I
intend to have two variables update themselves while iterating through an array
which is the board. I however keep getting the loops confused and am wondering
if there is a simpler way to do this. Here's my outline:
First, player a rolls a die. I use the Random class for this, the
nextInt() function set to 6, for a six-sided die.
Then, the variable updates itself by adding the number of points on the die to
its total. Also, the corresponding index of the array must be accessed, because
some array elements have certain expressions to benefit or hinder the player,
think the obstacles on a monopoly game board.
These two keep getting tangled up in my mind though when I attempt to do both
...The two player variables I use because I use a while loop to continue the
game until one of the two exceeds 60.
I am using the Java programming language and would like to ask for a few hints.
If you just want to point me at some resources that is fine too, I am just
stuck and not sure where I should be looking for a solution.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Florian
