last condition

Question about the task

Resolved

Hello there, I do not understand last condition; my point is in the method onMouseLeftClick I already opening the tiles. Why should I open a tile and restart the game in the same turn? What I am missing here please? At first point I thought that I should call the restart method only in case isGameStopped is true and description is wrong, but it seems that I am missing something else.

As you know, a real minesweeper is mistaken only once. But, fortunately, we can make lots of mistakes in our game.

Let's implement a way to restart the game. To do this, we'll create a restart() method, where we will start the game, and reset the number of hidden cells, mines, and points. Don't forget to update the score on the playing field and call the method responsible for creating a game.

In the restart method(), you also need to clear the flags, mines, numbers, etc. from the playing field. We'll restart the game by clicking the left mouse button.

Requirements:

The MinesweeperGame class must have a private void restart() method.
The restart() method must assign false to the isGameStopped field.
The isGameStopped field must not be assigned in the createGame() method.
The restart() method must restore the initial values of the countClosedTiles, score, and countMinesOnField fields.
The restart() method must call the setScore(int) method.
The restart() method must call the createGame() method after setting the initial values of the countClosedTiles, score and countMinesOnField fields.
The createGame() method must clear all items (flags, mines, numbers) from the playing field. Use the setCellValue(int, int, String) method. Pass an empty string as the last argument.
The onMouseLeftClick(int, int) method must call the restart() method and do nothing if the game is stopped.

package com.codegym.games.minesweeper; import com.codegym.engine.cell.*; 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){ // this.x = x; // this.y = y; // } public GameObject(int x, int y, boolean isMine){ this.x = x; this.y = y; this.isMine = isMine; } }

No explicit return is required.

public void onMouseLeftClick(int x, int y) {
   if (isGameStopped){
      restart();
   } else {
      openTile(x, y);
  }
}

solution

I think you may be reading the requirements wrong. When a mouse click occurs and the game is stopped, then the restart method should be called and nothing more.

public void onMouseLeftClick(int x, int y) {
   if (isGameStopped){
      restart();
      return;
   }
   this.openTile(x, y);
}

second that, I also made the same mistake as Luyi, though why shouldn't the requirement be phrased like you wrote, and if I may add: (to be more descriptive) "the onMouseLeftClick(int x, int y) method should only call the restart() method if game is stopped, otherwise it should only call the openTile(int x, int y) method". as per game implementation recommendations we're dealing with level 5+'ers not only level 10+'ers.

That is what it does say. "The onMouseLeftClick(int, int) method must call the restart() method and do nothing if the game is stopped." That is a full and complete sentence. It does not say "If the game is stopped, do nothing, otherwise call restart and open tile."

Don't mean to argue, but at least it should say: The onMouseLeftClick(int, int) method must only call the restart() method (and not the openTile() method) if the game is stopped." I misinterpreted it to mean that The onMouseLeftClick(int, int) method must call the restart() method if the game is stopped, and do nothing else. " (and the next task would somehow implement the openTile() method) but I guess common sense should've corrected me.

Ahhh ok, that makes sense when you explain it. I guess I have a little more experience in decoding the meaning of how they phrase these requirements (being level 36). I, personally, have had plenty of tasks I have failed because the requirements were confusing. Sometimes they are just poorly worded.

I had exactly the same issue. The explanation is not clear at all.
