    <p>I'm having some problems with a program I'm playing around with. I am trying to do this marble game where the player plays against the computer and remove marbles until the board is empty. My problem is that the class I have for removing the marbles doesn't seem to be removing it. I think it's something simple, but I just don't see it. The part where I THINK I'm having trouble with is in CAPITAL letters:</p> <pre><code>Pile tiles = new Pile(); tiles.createMarbles(); marbles = tiles.getMarbles(); System.out.println("There are now " + marbles + " left!"); HumanPlayer hum = new HumanPlayer(); SmartMode cpu = new SmartMode(); StupidMode badcpu = new StupidMode(); //ComputerMove cpu = new ComputerMove(); //PlayerMove hum = new PlayerMove(); do { if (compMove == true &amp;&amp; marbles &gt; 1) { if (compSmart) { //marbles = cpu.move(marbles); tiles.removesMarbles(cpu.move(marbles)); //THIS RIGHT HERE System.out.println("There are now " + marbles + " left!"); compMove = false; } if (!compSmart) { //marbles = badcpu.move(marbles); tiles.removesMarbles(badcpu.move(marbles)); // THIS RIGHT HERE System.out.println("There are now " + marbles + " left!"); compMove = false; } /* marbles = (cpu.ComputerMove(marbles, compSmart)); System.out.println("There are now " + marbles + " left!"); compMove = false;*/ } else if (compMove == false &amp;&amp; marbles &gt; 1) { //marbles = (hum.move(marbles)); tiles.removesMarbles(hum.move(marbles)); // THIS RIGHT HERE System.out.println("There are now " + marbles + " left!"); compMove = true; } } while (marbles &gt; 1); </code></pre> <p>The rest is not needed for answer</p>

    1. COaside, you should not create a new instance of `Random` for every move, but rather for the `StupidMode` instance. Although it would not make a difference ;)

    2. COdon't write `if (a) {} if (!a) {}`. use `else`: `if (a) {} else {}`

    3. COthe condition `while (marbles > 1)` will not change, since `marbles` is not assigned within the loop.

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.
