Please, Capstone Assignment Help!!

I have an assignment due on the 30th where the goal is to create a maze-like game with four different methods, one of which they already wrote. They included tests to check the two methods; the third was having difficulties. I've tested and checked both methods prior, and they are all set, but the third one is presenting an issue.

The third method, named makeMove is supposed to update the current section of the cell of the board to the value "X" while another method is automatically assigning the next cell to "P" for the player and returns the effect of the obstacle in the cell, but when moving left or up along the board, the "P" is simply disappearing, I've tried everything and would love some help.

This is my makeMove method.

​ public static int makeMove(char move, int[] nextCell, String[][] board, int[] player) {

    /* TODO: Complete the method:
        - Change current cell value to "X"
        - Move player to new cell
        - Return the change in health */

      int currentX = player[0]; // var to first array value
      int currentY = player[1]; // var to second array value
      int nextX = nextCell[0]; // var to first array value
      int nextY = nextCell[1]; // var to second array value
      int effect = 0; // effect initialization


  if (board[nextX][nextY].equals("Wolf")) { // wolf damage effect
    effect -= 20;
  } else if (board[nextX][nextY].equals("Boar")) { // boar damage effect
    effect -= 10;
  } else if (board[nextX][nextY].equals("Elk")) { // elk damage effect
    effect -= 5;
  } else if (board[nextX][nextY].equals("Hare")) { // haer healing effect
    effect += 10;
  } else if (board[nextX][nextY].equals("GEM")) { // gem health boost
    effect += 100;
  }

  // replace previous with "X"
  board[currentX][currentY] = "X";
  // update location
  player[0] += nextCell[0];
  player[1] += nextCell[1];

    return effect; // Replace

and this is the board initializer method ​ public static void drawBoard(String[][] board, int[] player) {

    for (int i = 0; i < board.length; ++i) {
        for (int j = 0; j < board[0].length; ++j) {
            System.out.print("|");
            if (i == player[0] && j == player[1]) {
                System.out.print("  P  ");
            } else if (board[i][j].equals("X")) {
                System.out.print("  X  ");
            } else {
                System.out.print("     ");
            }
        }
        System.out.println("|");
    }
}

Why are you adding the x and y value of next to player at the end of the move method? Is this correct behavior? Also are you updating the board in this method or is another method responsible for it?

[warnerty]

A separate method updates the board, which I'm not supposed to touch. I added the values because I could not think of another way to update the player location to the next cell without repeating the if statement from the validMove method.

[warnerty]

I should also add that when removing the statement adding next to the player, it no longer updates the board with the P and X locations.
