I've tried everything....

Question about the task

Minesweeper (Part 13/16)

Games, Level 0, Lesson 0

Under discussion

and don't know what is wrong. I need second pair of eyes :) Please help

The game is won when the number of remaining hidden cells is equal to the number of mines. To count the number of hidden cells, we'll introduce another variable whose initial value is equal to the total number of cells on the playing field. The value of this variable will decrease as the cells are revealed. When it becomes equal to the number of mines, the game is won.

In the event of a win, our game currently does nothing, but it should. It's time to fix that.

Let's write a win() method that stops the game and displays a beautiful congratulatory message to the winner.

Run the game and check that the win() method is run when the player wins.

Note that the win() method is called if the number of hidden cells is equal to the number of mines on the field. However, if the last revealed cell is a mine, then the method must not be called.

Requirements:

The MinesweeperGame class must have a private int countClosedTiles field that is initialized to SIDE * SIDE when it is declared.
The openTile(int, int) method must decrease the countClosedTiles field by 1 if the gameField element's isOpen flag is set.
The MinesweeperGame class must have a private void win() method.
The win() method must set the isGameStopped variable to true.
The win() method must call the showMessageDialog(Color, String, Color, int) method.
The openTile(int, int) method must call the win() method if the number of hidden cells is equal to the number of mines on the field and the last revealed cell is not a mine.

package com.codegym.games.minesweeper; public class GameObject { public int x; public int y; public boolean isMine; public int countMineNeighbors; public boolean isOpen; public boolean isFlag; public GameObject(int x, int y, boolean isMine) { this.x = x; this.y = y; this.isMine = isMine; this.countMineNeighbors =0; this.isOpen = false; this.isFlag = false; } }

Try moving lines 99 and 100 to inside the else block at line 105, then move lines 119-121 to just after the lines you just moved. I would HIGHLY recommend following the directions exactly and not making any changes to the code. For example your getNeighbors method should return an int, but you have it returning a list. While this may make sense to you, it can throw the verification system off as it is coded to test your code with its own implementation. For example if they create their own game object and call your getNeighbors method using reflection and expect an int returned, it will be an auto fail on some obscure point and there will be no tutor guidance. This may be the case with your code already, but idk.

Thanks. I tried that already and it didn't work :( Also great advise but in this case the method getNeighbors wasn't created by me but was uploaded when I moved to next step ( don't rememeber which)
