Why wont this compile!!

Question about the task

Snake (Part 2/20)

Games, Level 0, Lesson 1

Resolved

Can someone please tell me why this wont compile? ;(

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.

package com.codegym.games; import com.codegym.engine.cell.*; import com.codegym.engine.cell.Game; public class SnakeGame extends Game { @Override public void initialize() { setScreenSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT); private void createGame() { private void drawScene() { setCellColor(1, 1, Color.DARKSEAGREEN); } } } public static final int WIDTH = 15; public static final int HEIGHT = 15; }

There are multiple errors in the code. It won't compile until the code doesn't have syntax errors. I recommend not doing the games at your level and doing the syntax lessons instead.
