So would an array still be the best approach to target the specific tile? Sorry i'm still very new to Java, this language is very vast but It's really fun.

I have a few questions, I wasn't really thinking when I wanted to paint images onto the screen.
How would I make an array recognize each square on this board?
Say I hovered over each individual square, how would I have it highlight?
import java.awt.color.*; import java.awt.Graphics; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; public class Board extends JPanel{ public static void main(String[] args) { JFrame frame = new JFrame(); frame.setSize(1080, 1040); frame.getContentPane().add(new Board()); frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); frame.setVisible(true); } public void paint(Graphics g) { for(int i = 0; i <= 950; i += 50) { for(int j = 0; j <= 950; j+= 50){ g.drawRect(i, j, 50, 50); } } } }

Ill look into that thanks

Looks like its upto you to save us! Let me know when you will be making youtube videos!

Is there anyone you guys/girls suggest to us to watch. I watch TheNewBoston but I feel like there are alot of instances in certain things he misses when it comes to coding but you get the general idea.
Any other people you guys would refer to watch?

Thanks for all of your information. Definitely alot that  I need to learn.

I am new here to the Ranch and I like the whole idea of the ranks and staff here. This is the first time I made an account. I previously looked around the forum a few months ago and I love how the staff is Friendly and so Active and so Educated. That astounded me. Amazing.
As I digress, I'm new to Java and coding entirely but love the concept of it.

My question is When to use Inheritance vs reusing code. And When should I use getters and setters. I will use my lines of code but for the love of all. I can't see how or when to use it.

 public class Npc { public static String Name; public static int Health; public static int Damage; public String getName() { return Name; } public void setName(String name) { Name = name; } public int getHealth() { return Health; } public static void setHealth(int health) { Health = health-Damage; if(health <=0 ) { System.out.println(Npc.Name+" has died in battle."); isAlive = false; } } public static int getDamage() { return Damage; } public static void setDamage(int damage) { Damage = damage; } }


and this is the child class

public class Tagar extends Npc  { public static void test() { Name = "test"; } public static void otherTest() { System.out.println(Name); } }

why when I run this program can't otherTest() see test() and what is the best way  to
go about doing this Having a parent Class with all sorts of variables and methods that the child can run on but updating each value like having every Child class to have a different name age description mana MP AP? Or is inheritance not for this?
Code is greatly Appreciated and You have an active member here!!!

import java.util.Scanner; public class All { static int numbers;    static int counter = 1;     public static void main(String[] args){        getNumbers();        System.out.println("The average of your numbers is "+ numbers/5);     }     public static void getNumbers(){         Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in);                                               while(counter <=5) {         System.out.println("Please enter number: " + +counter);         numbers +=scnr.nextInt();         counter++;                                 }             }     }

Strings typically can't be added as far as value input. You were using strings. Best thing to do is use a while loop and use a 3rd int as a counting mechanism for it. If you want to use decimals change "int" to "double"
