Hi, I need help with my greeps code for my class Rule 1: Only change the class 'Greep'. No other classes may be modified or created. *** You will be making all of your changes within the act method of the Greep class. Rule 2: No additional fields. You cannot extend the Greeps' memory. That is: You are not allowed to add fields to the class (except final fields). You can use the one byte memory that is provided. Rule 3: You cannot move more than once per 'act' round. Rule 4: You cannot communicate directly with other Greeps. That is: no field accesses or method calls to other Greep objects are allowed. (Greeps can communicate indirectly via the paint spots on the ground.) Rule 5: No long vision. You are allowed to look at the world only at the immediate location of the Greep. Greeps are almost blind, and cannot look any further. Rule 6: No creation of objects. You are not allowed to create any scenario objects (instances of user-defined classes, such as Greep or Paint). Greeps have no magic powers - they cannot create things out of nothing. Rule 7: No teleporting. Methods from Actor that cheat normal movement (such as setLocation) may not be used. I CAN ONLY CHANGE THE super.act method this is my code right now. I need to get better scores import greenfoot.*; // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, and Greenfoot) /** * A Greep is an alien creature that likes to collect tomatoes. * * @author (Your Name Here) * @version 0.1 */ public class Greep extends Creature { // Remember: you cannot extend the Greep's memory. So: // no additional fields (other than final fields) allowed in this class! final static int HOW_MUCH_STEPS = 10; final static int FULL_360= 360; /** * Default constructor for testing purposes. */ public Greep() { this(null); } /** * Create a Greep with its home space ship. */ public Greep(Ship ship) { super(ship); } /** * Do what a greep's gotta do * * Name: * Date: * Description: basic starting version * * * */ public void act() { super.act(); // do not delete! leave as first statement in act(). if (carryingTomato()) { int remainingSteps = getMemory(); if(remainingSteps == 0) { spit("purple"); turnHome(); } else { remainingSteps--; setMemory(remainingSteps); } if(atShip()) { dropTomato(); turn(180); } if(atWater() || atWorldEdge()) { setMemory(HOW_MUCH_STEPS + Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(HOW_MUCH_STEPS/2)); turn(Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(FULL_360)); } move(); } else { boolean hasPurple = seePaint("purple"); if(hasPurple) { turnHome(); turn(180); } if(atWater() || atWorldEdge()) { turn(Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(FULL_360)); } move(); checkFood(); } } /** * Is there any food here where we are? If so, try to load some! */ public void checkFood() { // check whether there's a tomato pile here TomatoPile tomatoes = (TomatoPile) getOneIntersectingObject(TomatoPile.class); if(tomatoes != null) { loadTomato(); // Note: this attempts to load a tomato onto *another* Greep. It won't // do anything if we are alone here. } } /** * This method specifies the name of the author (for display on the result board). */ public static String getAuthorName() { return "Ruhaan"; // write your name here! } /** * This method specifies the image we want displayed at any time. (No need * to change this for the competition.) */ public String getCurrentImage() { if(carryingTomato()) return "greep-with-food.png"; else return "greep.png"; } }
