Thread: HELP? Rock paper scissors lizard spock game. Just need 1 last piece, can you help me?

So here's my code. It's alllllll done except I need the errorCount to be round specific.

You need to run the 2 classes together.

So when you run it. The error count should increment for each round. With an allotment of 2 errors per round.

Right now it's just 2 errors total for the entire project. So if you make an error in round 1 and round 2 it exits.

I'm trying to make it so if you make 2 errors in 1 round if exits.

So if you did:

Round 1: "q"
invalid input (error count =1)

it reprompts

Round 1: "1"
Paper beats rock. You win a point (error count = 0)

Round 2: "q"
invald input (error count = 1)

reprompts

Round 2: "q"
invalid input (error count = 2)
you have entered too many invalid inputs
system.exit(0)

Does that make sense?

Thanks for the reply man!

I'm not sure actually. I'm a super noob at programming ,but I'll give it a shot and let you know if it works!

--- Update ---

Ok so I have no idea how I would use an array for this.

I'm using a giant switch statement for the game itself & right now I'm just trying to make my default case track the errors.

So I'm trying to do something like

default:
System.out.println("The input you entered is invalid.");

if (roundCount == 1)
errorCount++;
else errorCount = 0;

if (roundCount == 2){
errorCount++;
else errorCount = 0;


it works if for round 1 if I only have the first if else ,but when I try to use the same if else for the other rounds it just keeps reseting the error count to 0.

outside the switch I have

if(errorCount == 2 ){
System.out.println("You entered too many invalid inputs.");
System.out.print("Goodbye!");
System.exit(0);

Ok! I fixed it!

I guess I'm just dumb. I couldn't figure out the array ,but here's my fix if you're interested.

<switch (playerChoice){
			case "1":
				//call to computer 
				errorCount = 0;
				roundCount++;
				computerChoice = RockPaperScissorsLizardSpockComputerPlayer.getChoice();
				System.out.println("The computer player chooses " + computerChoice);
				switch (computerChoice){
				case "rock":
					System.out.println("Its a tie!");
					System.out.println("No points are awarded.");
					break;
				case "paper":
					System.out.println("Paper covers rock.");
					System.out.println("The computer player wins a point.");
					computerPoints++;
					break;
				case "scissors":
					System.out.println("Rock crushes scissors.");
					System.out.println("Congratulations! You win a point.");
					playerPoints++;
					break;
				case "lizard":
					System.out.println("Rock crushes lizard");
					System.out.println("Congratulations! You win a point.");
					playerPoints++;
					break;
				case "spock":
					System.out.println("Spock vaporizes rock.");
					System.out.println("The computer player wins a point.");
					computerPoints++;
					break;
				}
				break;>
