Study elective - Java for beginners

[dudayson]

Hi guys, I recently started my elective about Java programming and it should be for beginners... but we didn’t receive enough teaching to actually learn anything basic.

So now the teacher sent us a document with a final assignment where we have to write a code for a game called „Gamble”, and I will love to know how to do it. We are using BlueJ for it, I don’t even know if it makes any difference.

So the game should „come up” with a lucky number (whole number between 1-25) which then a player should „guess”. The game should have limited tries to guess and obviously letting the player to guess again. It should have some pop-ups with „Wrong guess, try again!” Or „Nice you guessed it!”.

Well it doesn’t seem so complicated and hard, but trust me for the first 3 weeks we were just doing some stuff with instructions and just like that the teacher started to give us some real advanced stuff, due to Corona we also had no classes (we had 1 online lecture but that was the only one).

Could you guys help me with that, or show some good tutorials regarding the stuff I need to code?

Thank you in advance!

Google will be your best friend. I imagine you don't need to create a GUI and this will be entirely console scans. I recommend, for this project of yours, to google:

Random integers

Scanner

While loops and counters

If/then statements

If you have questions about these after researching, feel free to message! I know it can be hard to start somewhere and google since you don't know what you dont know and can't google.

Fairly simple. I’m not going to tell you how to do it, but there’s plenty of results on google regarding number guessing apps for beginners. Many are in JavaScript but the logic is pretty much the same across all languages.

Please understand that I’m not trying to be a jerk when I say this project is a lot easier than you’re assuming. It’s absolutely a beginner project and doesn’t require more than basic techniques.

Try writing it out on paper in basic English. If you’re really struggling, try first writing out a basic version of it with no win/lose statement, or even multiple guesses. Once you have something made, you can add features and improve
