does this need a class
does the following code require a class;
// Create a Non-Playable-Character(s) / NPC in World
NPC npc1 = new NPC("Wolf", 25, 8, 4);
I am assuming
Wolf is a string=name
25 is an int=hp
8 is an int=atk
4 is an int=def
I am having problems with constructors and how to write this. I blieve NPC needs a class with the variables. I am a beginner so my terminaolgy may be incorrect.
Thanks for any assistance
John

Re: does this need a class
Yes it would need a class. All Java programs use classes.
NPC would be the class and npc1 would be the instance of the class.
Is this a game you are making or a college assignment?

Re: does this need a class
It is for school, I took a quiz and was unable to compile the main. I tried several times to write a NPC class that would instance or define the varibles to no avail. Now I am trying to understand what I was missing or how I should have written the NPC class file defining Wolf as a string and the rest as int.
Thanks
John
Re: does this need a class
It might be a good idea to read up on how class instances
work within the main method (how an instance invokes a method,
why the constructor is called) and basic Java terminologies such as
Strings, fields and basic OOP.
But your on the right track - keep working and good luck
