getNeighbour() is weather a inbuilt method

Question about the task

Minesweeper (Part 6/16)

Games, Level 0, Lesson 0

Under discussion

if not a inbuilt method how should to write

Now let's count the mines in adjacent cells. To do this, we'll add a field to each cell of the matrix, which will be responsible for the number of mined neighbors. First, we find all the neighbors, and then we count how many of them are mined.

To get the list of neighbors, you now have the getNeighbors() method, which has one GameObject (cell) parameter.

Your task is to, in a separate method, count the number of mined neighbors for each cell in gameField and assign this value to the appropriate field of the cell.

Although your work is not visible (you started program to see what happens, right?), it is very important to future steps.

Requirements:

The GameObject class must have a public int countMineNeighbors field.
The MinesweeperGame class must have a private void countMineNeighbors() method.
The countMineNeighbors() method should, for each non-mined cell in the gameField matrix, count the number of adjacent mined cells and assign this value to the countMineNeighbors field.
The countMineNeighbors() method should use the getNeighbors(GameObject gameObject) method.
In the createGame() method, after all the elements of the gameField matrix are created, the countMineNeighbors() method must be called.

package com.codegym.games.minesweeper; public class GameObject { public int x; public int y; public boolean isMine; GameObject(int x,int y,boolean isMine){ this.x=x; this.y=y; this.isMine=isMine; } }

You are to implement the method. It should count all the cells surrounded by the game object passed in as the argument that are not mines (isMine == false), and return that count. There are 8 cells to count surrounding any object when not on the edge of the grid, it would look like this: -1 +1 x x x -1 x o x x x x +1 Where 'o' is the object and all the x's are the cells to count. From the position of 'o' going down will increase the y axis by 1 while going up will decrease by 1. Moving to the left will decrease the x axis by 1 and right increase by 1. Now figure out, in code, how to count all the game objects that surround the argument and are not mines. Keep in mind that you shouldn't count anything outside the boards limits (x or y less than 0 || x and y greater than or equal to SIDE).
