Hello,
These contains java pseldo code, but will show you what to do. The
idea is to create the main method, which will create a infinite loop
asking the player if them want to play again or not. If so, another
method, containing the game code will be called, otherwise a break
will be thrown so the main method can exit.
Main - method which is started by the java virtual machine:
while(true)
{
char playAgain;
write("play again?");
read(playAgain);
if(playAgain == 'y')
run();
else
break;
}
run: method containing the game itself.
I hope this helps,
Marlon
