    <p>So I have been studying Java for about 8 weeks and for class I had to design a shape guessing game. Yes it is Homework. So I have built my four shape classes with an example of one below. </p> <pre><code>public class square extends shape { //square member variables boolean equalSides = true; // check if sides are equal public boolean isEqual() { return equalSides; } //constructor public square(int numsides, String shapeName, boolean b, String shapehint) { super(numsides, shapeName, shapehint); } } </code></pre> <p>I then created a shape.java class</p> <pre><code>public class shape { int numSides; String shapeName; String shapeHint; public shape(int numsides, String shapename, String shapehint) { numSides = numsides; shapename = shapeName; shapehint = shapeHint; } //getter methods public int getSides() { return numSides; } public String getName(){ return shapeName; } public String getHint(){ return shapeHint; } } </code></pre> <p>It's now that I have reached the shapeGuesser class that I am starting to struggle just a little. I'm unsure how to incorporate a guard for my game and the JOptionPane side of it. I need shapeGuesser to run until the user guesses the correct shape.</p> <p>I have been instructed to present the user with this option at the start.</p> <p>What question shall I ask?</p> <p>Enter Number: 1.How many sides? 2.Are your sides the same length? 3. Hint</p> <p>Based on the number you enter 1, 2 or 3.That question will be asked of that shape. So your Shape must have an appropriate response ready.</p> <pre><code>import javax.swing.JOptionPane; import java.util.Random; public class shapeGuesser { public static void main(String[] args, Object Do) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub // the shape the program uses int random; shape shapeChoice; // create shapes square s = new square(4, "Square", true, "Geeks were called this in the 80s"); Rectangle r = new Rectangle(4, "Rectangle", false, "Not Pentangle"); Triangle t = new Triangle(3, "Triangle",false, "Toblerone"); Circle c = new Circle(0, "Circle",true, "Circle Circle Circle"); //declare shape array shape[] Shapes; //create shape array Shapes = new shape[4]; //put shape objects in shape array Shapes[0] = s; Shapes[1] = r; Shapes[2] = t; Shapes[3] = c; // generate random number random = (int) (1 + (Math.random() * 3)); //pick shape from shape array based on random number shapeChoice = Shapes[random]; } } </code></pre> <p>Anyone who read this far and might have the time to enlighten me in anyway. It would be much appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks,</p>

    1. COHint: You'll need some sort of loop and boolean value to determine if the game should continue.

    2. COI know I need to use a While loop but I'm not even sure where to begin on it. I've never had to use JOptionPane before.

    3. COI would start by trying to make your game work on the command line. Put a while around all of your logic and have the user guess. Once you have that working, you should put it into a GUI. Here's a tutorial: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/dialog.html

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
