Chance Game Java: Need Help Getting it To Run

[coder752]

I need help, it won't run. It only prints my message I put in main. What's wrong? Please help.

It compiles fine, and it just gives me an exception in thread "main" error.

import java.util.Random;

public class Dice{


//create random number generator for roling the dice.
        private Random random = new Random();

//enumeration with constants that stand for the game status
        private enum Status{CONTINUE, WON, LOST};

//simulates a game of craps
public void play(){

        Status gameStatus; //Can contain CONTINUE, WON, or LOST
        int myPoint = 0; //Point if user doesn't win or lose on first try.

        //srand((unsigned)time(NULL));
        int sum=TwoDice();

        // Cases determined on first roll.
        switch(sum)
        {
                case 7:
                case 11:
                        gameStatus=Status.WON;
                        break;

                case 2:
                case 3:
                case 12:
                        gameStatus=Status.LOST;
                        break;

                default:  //for cases if there's no win or lose yet.
                        gameStatus=Status.CONTINUE;  //game continues.
                        myPoint=sum;            //remembers the point
        } //end of switch 

        //while game is not finished yet. 
        while(gameStatus==Status.CONTINUE){
                sum=TwoDice(); //Rolls dice again.
                
                //Finds out game status once more.
                        if(sum == 7)
                                gameStatus=Status.LOST;
                        else
                                if(sum == myPoint)
                                        gameStatus=Status.WON;
                
        }
        if (gameStatus==Status.WON)
                System.out.println("Player wins");
        else
                System.out.println("Player loses");
} //end of play
        //Sum of the dice.
        public int TwoDice(){
                //Get random dice values.  
                int die1 = 1+random.nextInt(6);  //first die roll
                int die2 = 1+random.nextInt(6);  //second die roll
                int sum = die1+die2;  //sum of die values
                        
                //Prints the results of this roll.
                System.out.println("Player rolled: "+die1 +die2);
                System.out.println("Sum is: "  +sum);
                return sum;
        }//end of TwoDice
         
        public static void main(String[]args){
                System.out.println("Craps Simulator");
        }   
} //end of Dice

changed to:

public static void main(String[] args) {
   System.out.println("Craps Simulator");
   Dice dice = new Dice();
   dice.play();
} 

output:

Craps Simulator
Player rolled: 44
Sum is: 8
Player rolled: 62
Sum is: 8
Player wins

Works pretty fine for me...

Your problem is not in the code as I understand. Could you post the whole exception?

[coder752]

I understand my mistake now, it's because I didn't create a new dice, and I also didn't call the play method.

Now it works.

So no worries.

Thanks
