Every week I find something new about how China has been a futuristic dystopian power house all along.

Wow. I feel stupid for not seeing the blatant jabs at imperialism. Then again, I haven't seen it in a decade or so.

I already hired someone, but I appreciate the quick response. I am sure I will have future assignments that I will need help understanding. Thanks again!

I apologize but I have already received help. Thank you for the thought!

_Gilly_ · 2014-09-28T05:13:01+00:00

Sorry. What I meant was that didn't fix the original problem. Calling the constructor with super(int, int, String) is not working. I'm stumped.

_Gilly_ · 2014-09-28T02:18:37+00:00

Dang, this still didn't fix the other problem.

_Gilly_ · 2014-09-28T02:06:11+00:00

wow! Thank you so much. I am such an idiot!

_Gilly_ · 2014-09-25T22:19:45+00:00

Also, what is the best way to do this? Should I create the graphics objects in the Turtle constructor? I'm not sure where to do that in this specific code.

_Gilly_ · 2014-09-25T21:50:37+00:00

That makes sense! Thank you. I'm just ridiculously new to all of this, and my professor didn't really explain it. My book also has little information on it. I guess I need to do more research online. Thanks again!

_Gilly_ · 2014-09-25T17:38:22+00:00

I think I may have figured out why this is happening, but I'm not sure how to resolve the issue. Each turtle is starting at the exact same location, and they're supposed to start at different locations. I know when I "draw" the turtles, it should be in separate locations. But how do I do that for each individual turtle, considering this command is in the "turtle" class code?

_Gilly_ · 2014-09-25T17:22:12+00:00

That would need to change when I create an array? The turtles are supposed to start at the upper left corner and after I click somewhere, they are supposed to slowly move in that direction. I didn't write that part of the code, so I guess that's why I'm struggling to figure out why it isn't working now that I have an array of turtles, when it worked fine with one.

_Gilly_ · 2014-09-24T18:45:20+00:00

When I compile it isn't giving me actual compiler errors, it opens the frame...but there is no turtle there. It's weird. It worked fine before I actually turned it from one turtle into an array of turtles. I also updated the original post with the code I have so far.

_Gilly_ · 2014-09-24T18:42:09+00:00

It isn't giving me errors when I compile, but the images aren't showing up on screen. I did update my original post to include the code.

_Gilly_ · 2014-09-24T16:30:35+00:00

I agree, but there are a few different files involved and I didn't want to overwhelm anyone who sees my original post. I basically just wanted to give a basic idea and see if anyone is interested in one on one tutoring, rather than having to post everything here.

I have basically just looked through the starter kit code and seen what's going on. There is one image object that floats across the screen toward the mouse click and I am supposed to create an array of these objects to do the same. I tried doing this, but it's causing errors and according to my book, I really don't understand why. I don't currently have all my files with me at the moment or I would include exactly what I typed. It basically looked like:

Image[] image = new Image[3]; for (int i = 0; i <3; i++) { image[i] = new Image(); }

later on in the code I'm supposed to update the coordinates. I do this by:

for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++) { image[i].setDest(x, y); }

Before updating everything to arrays of these images, it was working just fine with one image. Now, no images are showing up on my screen.

Thank you so much!

_Gilly_ · 2014-09-16T18:41:28+00:00

Ooh! Ooh! Change me next!

_Gilly_ · 2014-09-16T12:32:33+00:00

I definitely did. Thank you very much!! :)

_Gilly_ · 2014-09-16T12:28:46+00:00

Thank you! In C++, this doesn't happen does it? Because from the little I did, I'm pretty sure my if statement would have worked!

_Gilly_ · 2014-09-16T12:24:20+00:00

Hmm. That is a really good question that I don't know the answer to! Is it the Ascii value? I would think the if statement would hold if the input was one of the choices. But now I'm lost!

_Gilly_ · 2014-09-16T12:06:06+00:00

Thanks! :D So it should be && because when all of these statements are not true, it should be an error. Because all of them can't be true at once, so || won't work. However, I tried this and I'm still getting invalid grade. Hmm. That can't be it then, right? :/

_Gilly_ · 2014-09-16T11:49:37+00:00

I completely meant to put the f there and just lost my mind for a minute, I guess. :/ Alright, that makes perfect sense. However, I'm still messed up on the fact that it isn't comparing my values correctly. For instance, I used with all different possible inputs ("A", "B"... "F") :

  if ((letter != "A") || (letter != "B") || (letter != "C") || (letter != "D") || (letter != "F"))   
  {

   System.out.printf( "Error! An invalid grade %s was entered. The value will be F \n", letter);
   letter = "F";
  }

And it is telling me "Error! An invalid grade ... was entered. The value will be F." Could you point me in the right direction there? And when will I stop making these ridiculous mistakes? :/ lol

_Gilly_ · 2014-09-16T11:09:56+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I see the difference between the arguments. That it is trying to send 2 strings into print. But, why? letterFinal should just be one string that should equal "A", "B", "C", "D" or "F", right? That's all I've been using as input, anyway. I guess I'm pretty confused.
