Again where is this supposed to go, I'm guessing in each of my tile actors (Sword, Torch and Coin) right?
NO. ALL the code for placing the initial objects into the world goes in your subclass of World -- in this case, your Bejeweled_World class.

if (y > 1) // zero and one are the first two rows   
if (getObjectsAt(x, y-2).get(0).getClass() == actor.getClass()) 
{ return false; } 
if (getObjectsAt(x, y-1).get(0).getClass() == actor.getClass()) 
{ return false; }

We were working on the code within the 'canPlace' method.

EDIT I just realized that i had, again placed it in the wrong section. Here it is in the proper place ( i think) though now i get the error saying 'method getObjectsAt in class greenfoot.World cannot be applied to given types; required: int,int,ava.lang..Class; found:int,int; reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length'

fixed previous code section though now i'm getting another error :/ 'method getObjectsAt in class greenfoot.World cannot be applied to given types; required: int,int,ava.lang..Class; found:int,int; reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length'

The error message is telling you that there is a third argument, of type Class, that you need to include in the call to 'getObjectsAt'. Please refer to the World class documentation on that method.

So I need to put in a class like (x, y, Coin) or what? This doesn't seem to work though, and that's the only thing that comes to my mind after checking the documentation

Well, if you were looking for one specific class, like Coin, you would use 'Coin.class'. However, since we know absolutely that there are only tile objects in the world (at least at the time they are being initially placed into the world), we can use either 'Actor.class' or just 'null' (which includes all classes in the check).

though even after this i get that the if (y>1) statement is unreachable :/ EDIT: Edited for Actor.class

You know ... I had a 'Match 3' scenario on this site some time ago and it got very little attention. Maybe I will upload it again after adding a high scores screen to it and allowing the game to be saved for resuming at a later time.

The 'return true;' statement must be the last statement in the method. Also, you are still doing individual checks. Lines 7 through 11 must be combined into one statement where when all three conditions are true, a false value is returned.

Heh. That would be great, does it use the same things that i need? And still do you know how i can fix the if(y>1) thing?

if (y>1 && getObjectsAt(x, y-2m Actor.class).get(0).getClass() == actor.getClass() && getObjectsAt(x, y-1, Actor.class).get(0).getClass() == actor.getClass())

That is it! (except for the typo after the '2') Now, do similar for going 'left' instead of going 'up'.
There are more replies on the next page.
