What's wrong with this??? I don't understand(( help me, please

Question about the task

Under discussion

package com.codegym.games.snake; import com.codegym.engine.cell.*; public class SnakeGame extends Game { public static final int WIDTH = 15; public static final int HEIGHT = 15; public void initialize(){ setScreenSize(WIDTH,HEIGHT); createGame(); } public void setScreenSize(int a, int b){ } private void createGame(){ drawScene(); } private void drawScene(){ for (int y = 0; y < HEIGHT; y++) { for (int x = 0; x < WIDTH; x++) { setCellColor(17, 18, Color.DARKSEAGREEN); } } } }

Let's color the playing field. You can do this and every other game action in the initialize method. But cramming everything into one method is bad practice.

So, we'll initially create a couple of methods, each of which will be responsible for a specific job: the drawScene method is for drawing the screen, and the createGame method is for the actions required to create the game. Accordingly, in the initialize() method, we need to call the createGame() method, which will in turn call the drawScene method.

To paint the cells of the playing field a specific color, you need to go through all the cells (using loops) and call the setCellColor method on each of them.

Hint:
for (int x = 0; x < WIDTH; x++) { for (int y = 0; y < HEIGHT; y++) { setCellColor(x, y, Color); } }

Requirements:

The SnakeGame class must have a private void createGame() method.
The SnakeGame class must have a private void drawScene() method.
The drawScene() method must be called in the createGame() method.
The createGame() method must be called in the initialize() method.
In the initialize() method, the createGame() method is called after the setScreenSize(int, int) method.
In the drawScene() method, call the setCellColor(int, int, Color) method on each cell of the playing field with the following arguments: x and y coordinates and any color. For example, Color.DARKSEAGREEN.

1) In line 24 don't set fixed values - it's a job for loops. 2) You has to initialize somewhere method setCellColor as a public void method.

Hi, try to delete lines 13-15. It works on me, but I don't know the reason.
