copied!<p>For these errors, in your <code>RPSMain</code> class, you're trying to access variables from your other classes. Your code here...</p> <pre><code> for (int i = 0; i < rounds; i++){ player.makeThrow(); gameObject.makeThrow(); gameObject.announceWinner (compThrow, getPThrow); } </code></pre> <p>Should actually be this...</p> <pre><code> for (int i = 0; i < rounds; i++){ int playerThrow = player.makeThrow(); int compThrow = gameObject.makeCompThrow(); gameObject.announceWinner (compThrow, playerThrow ); } </code></pre> <p>Note that when we call a method like <code>makeThrow()</code>, we capture the variable and call it <code>playerThrow</code>. Now we can use this variable in the <code>announceWinner()</code> method. The same for the <code>compThrow</code> variable.</p> <p>You are doing the same thing in your <code>RPSGame.bigWinner(winner, rounds);</code> line - its complaining that <code>winner</code> doesn't exist. This is true - <code>winner</code> is not a variable in <code>RPSMain</code>, its only a variable in <code>RPSGame</code> - you can't share the variables between different classes like this. </p> <p>Your <code>gameObject.announceWinner()</code> method returns an <code>int</code> that represents the actual winner. If you want to use this returned value, you need to capture it into a variable. Currently you have code like this in <code>RPGMain</code>...</p> <pre><code>for (int i = 0; i < rounds; i++){ int playerThrow = player.makeThrow(); int compThrow = gameObject.makeCompThrow(); gameObject.announceWinner (compThrow, playerThrow ); } System.out.print (gameObject.bigWinner(winner, rounds)); </code></pre> <p>If you want to keep the <code>int</code> returned from the <code>announceWinner()</code> method, you have to capture it by making the following adjustment...</p> <pre><code>for (int i = 0; i < rounds; i++){ int playerThrow = player.makeThrow(); int compThrow = gameObject.makeCompThrow(); int winner = gameObject.announceWinner (compThrow, playerThrow ); System.out.print (gameObject.bigWinner(winner, rounds)); } </code></pre> <p>This now says that the value returned from <code>gameObject.announceWinner()</code> will be stored in a local variable called <code>winner</code> in the <code>RPGMain</code> class. Now When it tries to use the <code>winner</code> variable in the <code>gameObject.bigWinner()</code> method of the next line, it knows about the value.</p> <p>To fix your <code>non-static method bigWinner(int,int) cannot be referenced from a static context</code> error, you need to change the following line...</p> <pre><code>public int bigWinner (int winner, int rounds){ </code></pre> <p>to have the word <code>static</code> in it, like this...</p> <pre><code>public static int bigWinner (int winner, int rounds){ </code></pre> <p>Or, better yet, remove the word <code>static</code> from everywhere in your code. If you're new to Java, trying to use <code>static</code> variables and methods will just make things more complicated then they really need to be, and I can't see any reason why you'd need them to be <code>static</code> in your program.</p>
