Day 7: Coding the "human"

As I promised, there is a first approach to "Human" interface that works like this:

1. The player puts a coordinate.
2. The translator converts it to a position.
3. If there is a 0 in that position it returns the position.
4. If not, the player shpuld write another position.

  public class Human extends Actor { public int externalMove(Board board,int size){ //Challenger sends a move boolean validMove=false; String move; int returnMove=0; Translator translator=new Translator(); InputStreamReader coordinate = new InputStreamReader(System.in); BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(coordinate); while(validMove==false){ try { move=br.readLine().toUpperCase(); //Have to search if the move is valid. if(board.getMainBoard().get(translator.coordinateToPosition(move, size))==0){ validMove=true; returnMove=translator.coordinateToPosition(move, size); } } catch (IOException ex) { Logger.getLogger(Human.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } } return returnMove; } }

 This should work, and only have to add a human object in the main loop and get the move and put it on the board.

  public void startGame(){ int engineColor=1; //color of the engine int humanColor=2; //color of the human int boardSize=19; //in the future there will be an input int selectedMove; String coordinate; //to see conversor Engine engine=new Engine(); Human human=new Human(); Board board=new Board(boardSize); Console console=new Console(); Translator translator=new Translator(); console.showBoard(board,boardSize); selectedMove=engine.play(board); coordinate=translator.positionToCoordinate(selectedMove, boardSize); System.out.println(coordinate); board.setMove(selectedMove, engineColor); console.showBoard(board, boardSize); selectedMove=human.externalMove(board, boardSize); board.setMove(selectedMove, humanColor); console.showBoard(board, boardSize); }

Next post will be about making the main loop  a real loop XD.
