Thread: Dice game need help

Hello everybody

i'm making a dice game where you roll a dice and get a number between 1 and 6. if you hit 5 you can either choose to keep going og say you want to keep your score. because if you hit one you will loose your temp score. which is my problem i can't get my program to keep running. everytime i get 1 my programs just ends. i would like it to keep running but i just lost my temp score but still had my score i had from the other times.
hope you understand what i mean
here is my code

import java.util.*;
public class terning2_Christian_Sorensen {
	public static void main (String[] args) {
		Scanner input= new Scanner(System.in);
		int oppenetScore = input.nextInt();
		Random kast = new Random(); // random generator
 
		System.out.println("************************* DICE GAME *************************");
		System.out.println("*** You score on roll 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 and loose on roll 1 ***");
 		System.out.println("*************************************************************");
 
		int kk = 0;
		int totalScore = 0;
		int tempScore = 0;
 
		while (kk <2){
			kk = kast.nextInt(6)+1;
			tempScore = tempScore + kk;
			totalScore = tempScore;
 
			if (kk > 1 && totalScore > oppenetScore) {
				System.out.println("Roll= " + kk + "\n your total temp score = " + tempScore);
			}
 
			else if (kk == 1) {
				System.out.println("you lost you score from this round");
			}
		}
 
	} // end of main
 
} // end of program

Maybe this has something to do with it?

while (kk < 2) {

ye ^^
my bad been looking at for too long time to see it xD
but how do i make a temp score and a total score?
so i have 15 point in my total score for the previous round, and then i have 10 point in my temp score, and then i roll and 1 and i only loose my point in my temp score?
i have tried to do that but i can't get it to working :S
can anybody help me?

How would you keep track of that without the computer?
Perhaps write down the score for each player on a sheet of paper. Then in a different place store the current player's temporary score. If the points are lost, move on to the next person. Otherwise give the temporary score to the current player, and then move to the next player.

Get a firm system down first, then write code to match it. Post questions if you have problems.

the only input is the oppents score, so the computer decide how many times it want to roll.
but i need to make a tempscore, so it can use the point is has lost that round and keep the points from the previous times.
but i have no idea how i can do that :/

Forgive me, in the interest of time, I tried to nudge you in the right direction without looking at your code.

I see... What I don't see is the code where you are calling this class and giving that value. Please explain exactly how the program is to be set up and how the game works. If I understand it correctly, player1 goes first. The turn lasts until player1's total score is > opponentScore. I am guessing you supply some default value on the call for the first turn to determine when the first turn is over. Then it is player2's turn. Player2's turn lasts as long as it takes to roll either a 1, (thus losing the current points and the turn), or roll until player2's current score is > opponentScore, (thus adding current points to player2's total, and losing the turn). After that it is on to the next player, which could be player1 again or player 3-n.

I can answer this after you explain how the program should work and include all of the code. Unless this is all of it, in which case there is some work to be done.

Thanks but i got it to work late but if you wanted to know what i tired to create here is the code

import java.util.*;
public class dicegame11_0_gruppe_5 {
	public static void main (String[] args) {
		int diceRoll = 0, tempScore = 0, totalScore = 0, maxScore = 200; 			// de forskellige variabler
		String turn = ""; 																		// bestemmer hvem der har turen
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); 											// scanner hedder input
		System.out.println("Velkommen til Dice Game 11.4 \n ENJOY :D");			// velkommen tekst
 
 
		turn = "enemyTurn";
 
		while (maxScore > totalScore && turn.equals("enemyTurn")){ 					//sætter det hele i en while løkke så det bliver ved med at køre og modstanders tur
			System.out.println("indtast modstanders score: ");							
			int enemyScore = input.nextInt();												// indtast modstanderens score
				turn = "computerTurn";
 
			while (turn.equals("computerTurn")){											// det er computerens tur
				Random kast = new Random(); 													// random generator
				diceRoll = kast.nextInt(6)+1;
 
				if (diceRoll == 1){																// hvis man slår 1 er det modstandens tur og man får ikke nogen point
					tempScore = 0;
					turn = "enemyTurn";
					System.out.println("Computer slog 1 og fik derfor ingen point");
 
				}
 
				else if (enemyScore - totalScore >= 12) { 								// laver en for løkke hvis forskellen mellem enemy og total er større en 12 
 
					for (int i=1; i<=3; i++){ 													// kører 3 gange
						diceRoll = kast.nextInt(6)+1; 										// laver en diceRoll hvergang
						if (diceRoll == 1){ 														// hvis den slår 1 er det modstanderens tur
							tempScore = -1;
							turn = "enemyTurn";
							i = 3;
						}
						tempScore += diceRoll; 													// lægger dem sammen
//						System.out.println(tempScore + "--------" + diceRoll); // udskriver værdierne                    Cheat tester
					}
					totalScore +=tempScore; 													// lægger tempScore til totalScore
					tempScore = 0; 																// resetter tempScore
					System.out.println("Computeren scorede: " + totalScore);
					turn = "enemyTurn"; 															// det bliver modstandens tur
				}
 
				else {
					tempScore += diceRoll;														// tilføjer diceroll til tempScore
 
						if (totalScore + tempScore >= enemyScore){						//tjekker om computerens Score er større end modstanderens og prøver at slå den
							totalScore += tempScore;
							System.out.println("Computeren scorede: " + totalScore);
							tempScore = 0;															// resetter tempScore så den er klar til næste runde
							turn = "enemyTurn";													// det bliver modstanderens tur
						}
 
				} // slut på else if 
 
 
 
			}// slut på while computerTurn
 
 
		}	// slut på første while
 
	}//slut på main
} // slut på progr

not it is with danish comments ^^
