One cell - java help on CodeGym

What the heck I am getting for this recommended reduced to minimum code:

package com.codegym.games.minesweeper;
import com.codegym.engine.cell.*;

public class MinesweeperGame extends Game{
    private static final int SIDE = 9;
    //private GameObject [][] gameField;

    @Override
    public void initialize(){

        setScreenSize(SIDE,SIDE);
        showGrid(true);
        //createGame();

    }
}
    //private void createGame(){
    //      int j;
    //      int i;
    //      for (j=0;j<SIDE;j++){
    //        for (i=0;i<SIDE;i++){
    //         gameField [i+1][j+1] = new GameObject();
             //gameField [i+1][j+1] = new GameObject(x,y);
             //gameField.setCellColor(i+1,j+1,Color.ORANGE);
    //        }
            //i=0;
    //    }
    //}

    //public static void main (String[] args){
    //   MinesweeperGame gameinit = new MinesweeperGame();
    //   }
//}

I reduced the code down to step 1 - just to see what was wrong later at step 4 when, in the best case, the same 1-cell screen was rendered at Step 4, although Step 3 was passed. It looks like the compiler is inconsistent, or the classes in the imported packages are changed. MacOS BigSur 11.6.1 (20G224) for just in case.

Keep grinding thru Minecraft ; The game code works. Go line by line and READ thru the HELP section questions and answers --- Codegym could probably give more hints -- but the fun is in the Grind - right See the screen output renderings attached way down below cool

Your code should work and it does on our end. What's your JDK and IntelliJ IDEA version?

JVM: adoptopenjdk-8.jdk, openjdk-8, IDEA 2021.2 build 212.4746.92 The results above are purely browser UX (Chrome 97.0.4692.71 (Official Build) (x86_64)), not sure how the local JDK should affect this. I find it absolutely critical for courses like this one (and it's great, don't get me wrong) that the compiler is not buggy. The student needs to be sure it's their error in the code when something is not working, not the system misbehaving. Otherwise, it is like learning to fly in the dark with a faulty altitude gauge. And the time and one's nerves are the most precious resources for many customers.

Any update on this?

It is not the compiler's fault that your game window does not function properly. Your code compiles and meets the test requirements...if it did not, then you would have received a recommendation message. If the issue is only relevant to running the game via browser (Chrome), please try to run it in other browsers.

How many more browser do I need to test it in to verify it's a bug?

What about Firefox or Opera?

the same one square both in Firefox and Opera. So what's next?

do your browsers or OS use any ad blockers? have you tried in incognito windows, as well as the standard browser windows?

16 February 2022, 22:02

No ad blockers at the browser- or OS (win 7)-level. BTW, your site does not allow uploading of (that would imply a resize of) a screenshot / full res pic off an average current phone with an illustration of the issue.

Seems like the support is really great at codegym/javarush, I will be mentioning and linking to this issue adding to the course rating. If you don't have a Win7 testing environment, be frank and tell you don't. As well as notify the prospects you don't support Win7 (and whatever other environment variables you don't). "It works on our end, keep testing on whatever and report back" is an inappropriate response for a paid service in my book. But perfectly illustrates the (stereotypical) developer's mindset peculiarities.
