Having trouble showing colours in flood fill game

My flood fill algorithm works, however, I cannot print the 6 main colors of my game. The Java function that allows me to print the 2-d array is in the class GameModel.java called toString():
import java.util.Random;
public class GameModel {
/**

public static final int COLOR_0 = 0;

private static DotInfo[][] dots;
private int size;
private int currentColor;
private Random generator;

dots = new DotInfo[size][size];
generator = new Random();
}
/**

* is cleared up .
*/
public void reset(){
generator = new Random();
int color = 0;
for (int j=0;j<size;j++) {
for (int i=0;i<size;i++) {
dots[j][i] = new DotInfo(i, j, generator.nextInt(NUMBER_OF_COLORS)+1);
}
}
}
/**

public int getSize(){

public boolean isCaptured(int i, int j){
return dots[j][i].isCaptured();
}

*/
public DotInfo get(int i, int j) {
return dots[j][i];
}
/**

* once the model has been updated after the payer selected a new color.
*/
public void step(){
steps++;
}
/**

* is, all the dats are captured.

*/
public boolean isFinished(){
boolean flag=true;
for (int y=0;y<size;y++) {
for (int x=0;x<size;x++) {
if (dots[y][x].isCaptured()==false) {
flag=false;
}
}
}
return flag;
}
/**

public String toString(){
String rep = "";

for (int x=0;x<size;x++) {
rep += dots[y][x].getColor()+" ";
}
rep+="\n";
}
return rep;
}
}
The function where I am printing the array is in my GameController.java class with the call:
System.out.println(model)
.
import java.awt.*;
public class GameController /*implements ActionListener*/ {
private GameModel model;
private MyStack dots;
private int size;
/**

* and the game's model instances

*/
public GameController(int size) {
this.size = size;
model = new GameModel(size);
dots = new MyStack(size*size);
}
/**
* resets the game
*/
public void reset(){
model.reset();
System.out.println(model);
}
/**
* Callback used when the user clicks a button (reset or quit)
*
* #param e

*/
/*public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
}*/
/**
* <b>selectColor</b> is the method called when the user selects a new color.
* If that color is not the currently selected one, then it applies the logic
* of the game to capture possible locations. It then checks if the game
* is finished, and if so, congratulates the player, showing the number of
* moves, and gives two options: start a new game, or exit
* #param color
* the newly selected color
*/
public void selectColor(int color){
model.setCurrentSelectedColor(color);
capturePointAtZero();
sendCapturedToStack();
equalityCheck(color);
System.out.println(model);
}
private void capturePointAtZero() {
int x = 0, y = 0;
if (!model.isCaptured(x, y)) {
model.capture(x, y);
}
}
private void sendCapturedToStack() {
for (int j=0;j<size;j++) {
for (int i=0;i<size;i++) {
if (model.isCaptured(i, j)) {
model.capture(i,j);
dots.push(model.get(i,j));
}
}
}
}
private void equalityCheck(int newColor) {
while (!dots.isEmpty()) {
DotInfo dot = dots.pop();
int x = dot.getX();
int y = dot.getY();
if (model.getColor(x,y+1)==newColor && !model.isCaptured(x,y+1)) {
model.capture(x, y+1);
dots.push(model.get(x,y+1));
} if (model.getColor(x+1,y)==newColor && !model.isCaptured(x+1,y)) {
model.capture(x+1, y);
dots.push(model.get(x+1,y));
} if (model.getColor(x,y-1)==newColor && !model.isCaptured(x,y-1)) {
model.capture(x, y-1);
dots.push(model.get(x,y-1));
} if (model.getColor(x-1,y)==newColor && !model.isCaptured(x-1,y)) {
model.capture(x-1, y);
dots.push(model.get(x-1,y));
}
}
}
}
I am getting a IndexOutOfBoundsError when it approaches the end of the matrix.
If anyone could help that would be much appreciated.

There are too many issues with the code to fix all of them. Still here a few the I noticed after a quick look:
Yes, the reason why the matrix is filled with 0 is that currentColor is 0 becuase you don't call setCurrentSelectedColor
A deeper issue is with logic. Let's look at equalityCheck
if (model.getColor(x, y + 1) == newColor && !model.isCaptured(x, y + 1))
{
model.capture(x, y + 1);
dots.push(model.get(x, y + 1));
}
This code means that dot at (x, y+1) will be updated only if it already has the newColor. Obviously you want it to be updated if it matches the "old color" i.e. color of the (0,0) but you don't even try to save that color in your capturePointAtZero!
Code such as
public void capture(int i, int j){
for (int y=0;y<size;y++) {
for (int x=0;x<size;x++) {
if (x==i && y==j) {
dots[y][x] = new DotInfo(x, y, currentColor);
dots[y][x].setCaptured(true);
}
}
}
}
is rather inefficient. Why do you need loops if you still update only single DotInfo? It can be simplified
public void capture(int i, int j){
dots[j][i] = new DotInfo(i, j, currentColor);
dots[j][i].setCaptured(true);
}
Hope this helps.
Update
I understand your comments but now I am getting an arrayIndexOutOfBounds whenever i call a number that is at the end of my Matrix.
Exception most probably happens because you don't validate your indices in the equalityCheck. You can add a method isValidPosition such as:
public class GameModel
{
....
public boolean isValidPosition(int x, int y)
{
return (x >= 0) && (x < size) && (y >= 0) && (y < size);
}
}
and then
private void equalityCheck(int newColor)
{
...
if (model.isValidPosition(x, y+1) && model.getColor(x, y + 1) == newColor && !model.isCaptured(x, y + 1))
{
model.capture(x, y + 1);
dots.push(model.get(x, y + 1));
}
Note that it is important that isValidPosition is the first call in the compound if. This works because Java uses short-circuit evaluation for boolean statements.
You can hide isValidPosition inside your other methods in the GameModel and sometimes similar approach is the right thing to do. But I don't think this is the time because 1) it requires you to return some fake value from getColor (you now use 0 and I don't really like it) and 2) it hides from the reader the business-logic that the field is not unlimited.

textView getting null exception in customView

this is page-curl view , i want when nextView() is called my TextView get the next string
but I can't use TextView from xml layout it gives me null ,
how I can but buttons and TextView in customView ?
can any one help me to solve this with code ?
I have searched with many tutorials but I get this understanding

part of code not executing properly

I'm learning about queues in school and an having an issue with one of our labs i believe the issue is here the problem is that it will not erase the circles after reaching 50
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
int incX = 5; // initial x increment for circle locations
int incY = 5; // initial y increment for circle locations
Coord temp = new Coord(0,0);
Queue<Coord> q = new LinkedList<Coord>();
Circle c = new Circle(g,circleSize,incX,incY,TIME_DELAY);
try
{
for(int i = 1; i <= TOTAL_NUM_CIRCLES; i++)
{
if(q.size() >= 50)
{
temp = q.remove();
c.eraseCircle(g,temp.getX(),temp.getY());
}
temp = new Coord(getX(),getY());
q.add(temp);
c.drawCircle(g);
c.hitEdge();

your coordinates are backwards:
-public void eraseCircle(Graphics g, int x, int y)
-c.eraseCircle(g,temp.getY(),temp.getX());
switch around x and y and it should work.
Edit:
Ok so the problem is the x and y in your coords are always 0 so I modified your drawCircle method to return the proper coordinates, and your paint method to store them, so this is what you get:
Paint:
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
int incX = 5; // initial x increment for circle locations
int incY = 5; // initial y increment for circle locations
Coord temp = new Coord(0,0);

{
if(q.size() >= 50)
{
temp = q.remove();
c.eraseCircle(g,temp.getX(),temp.getY());
}
temp = new Coord(getX(),getY());
//q.add(temp);
q.add(c.drawCircle(g));
c.hitEdge();
}
}
catch(InterruptedException e){}
}
drawCircle:
/**
* draws a blue circle and sets the tlX and tlY for the next drawing
* #param g Graphics object
* #return
*/
public Coord drawCircle(Graphics g) throws InterruptedException
{
g.setColor(Color.blue);
g.drawOval(tlX,tlY,size,size);
delay(timeDelay);
if (addX)
tlX+=incX;
else
tlX-=incX;
if (addY)
tlY+=incY;
else
tlY-=incY;
return new Coord(tlX, tlY);
}
To determine this I set a breakpoint in the paint method and viewed what temp's values were through eclipses debugger.

Methods to generate image based on Perlin Noise array

I'm trying to begin learning to use Perlin Noise to create a tile map. I'm just beginning so I found some source code online to create an array based on Perlin Noise. So I have an array of good data right now (as far as I know) but I don't understand what kinds of methods can be used to convert this from an array into a tile map.
Does anybody have any examples or sources of any methods to do this?
Here is the code I'm using the generate the array.
package perlin1;
import java.util.Random;
public class ImageWriter {
/** Source of entropy */
private Random rand_;
/** Amount of roughness */
float roughness_;
/** Plasma fractal grid */
private float[][] grid_;
/** Generate a noise source based upon the midpoint displacement fractal.
*
* #param rand The random number generator
* #param roughness a roughness parameter
* #param width the width of the grid
* #param height the height of the grid
*/
public ImageWriter(Random rand, float roughness, int width, int height) {
roughness_ = roughness / width;
grid_ = new float[width][height];
rand_ = (rand == null) ? new Random() : rand;
}
public void initialise() {
int xh = grid_.length - 1;
int yh = grid_[0].length - 1;
// set the corner points
grid_[0][0] = rand_.nextFloat() - 0.5f;
grid_[0][yh] = rand_.nextFloat() - 0.5f;
grid_[xh][0] = rand_.nextFloat() - 0.5f;
grid_[xh][yh] = rand_.nextFloat() - 0.5f;
// generate the fractal
generate(0, 0, xh, yh);
}
// Add a suitable amount of random displacement to a point
private float roughen(float v, int l, int h) {
return v + roughness_ * (float) (rand_.nextGaussian() * (h - l));
}
// generate the fractal
private void generate(int xl, int yl, int xh, int yh) {
int xm = (xl + xh) / 2;
int ym = (yl + yh) / 2;
if ((xl == xm) && (yl == ym)) return;
grid_[xm][yl] = 0.5f * (grid_[xl][yl] + grid_[xh][yl]);
grid_[xm][yh] = 0.5f * (grid_[xl][yh] + grid_[xh][yh]);
grid_[xl][ym] = 0.5f * (grid_[xl][yl] + grid_[xl][yh]);
grid_[xh][ym] = 0.5f * (grid_[xh][yl] + grid_[xh][yh]);
float v = roughen(0.5f * (grid_[xm][yl] + grid_[xm][yh]), xl + yl, yh
+ xh);
grid_[xm][ym] = v;
grid_[xm][yl] = roughen(grid_[xm][yl], xl, xh);
grid_[xm][yh] = roughen(grid_[xm][yh], xl, xh);
grid_[xl][ym] = roughen(grid_[xl][ym], yl, yh);
grid_[xh][ym] = roughen(grid_[xh][ym], yl, yh);
generate(xl, yl, xm, ym);
generate(xm, yl, xh, ym);
generate(xl, ym, xm, yh);
generate(xm, ym, xh, yh);
}
/**
* Dump out as a CSV
*/
public void printAsCSV() {
for(int i = 0;i < grid_.length;i++) {
for(int j = 0;j < grid_[0].length;j++) {
System.out.print(grid_[i][j]);
System.out.print(",");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
/**
* Convert to a Boolean array
* #return the boolean array
*/
public boolean[][] toBooleans() {
int w = grid_.length;
int h = grid_[0].length;
boolean[][] ret = new boolean[w][h];
for(int i = 0;i < w;i++) {
for(int j = 0;j < h;j++) {
ret[i][j] = grid_[i][j] < 0;
}
}
return ret;
}
/** For testing */
public static void main(String[] args) {
ImageWriter n = new ImageWriter(null, 1.0f, 250, 250);
n.initialise();
n.printAsCSV();
}
}
The resulting array is all amounts between 0 and 1.
Again, I'm just looking for how this array can be converted into a tile map.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

}
Update:
I decided to go with an algorithm that makes use of Bézier Curves. It's been a very long time since I implemented the change, but I wanted to post it here just in case people would find it useful in the future. Here is what I ended up with:
public class MouseEvent{
public int getMouseX(){
return MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation().x;
}
public int getMouseY(){
return MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation().y;
}
public void moveMouse(int speed, int destX, int destY, int ranX, int ranY){
Mouse.moveMouse(new Robot(), new Point(getMouseX(),getMouseY()), new Point(destX, destY), speed, ranX, ranY);
}
}
public class Mouse {
public static void moveMouse(Robot robot, Point s, Point e, int speed, int ranX, int ranY){
if(Math.abs(e.x-s.x) <= ranX && Math.abs(e.y-s.y) <= ranY)
return;
Point[] cooardList;
double t; //the time interval
double k = .025;
cooardList = new Point[4];
//set the beginning and end points
cooardList[0] = s;
cooardList[3] = new Point(e.x+random(-ranX,ranX),e.y+(random(-ranY,ranY)));
int xout = (int)(Math.abs(e.x - s.x) /10);
int yout = (int)(Math.abs(e.y - s.y) /10);
int x=0,y=0;
x = s.x < e.x
? s.x + ((xout > 0) ? random(1,xout) : 1)
: s.x - ((xout > 0) ? random(1,xout) : 1);
y = s.y < e.y
? s.y + ((yout > 0) ? random(1,yout) : 1)
: s.y - ((yout > 0) ? random(1,yout) : 1);
cooardList[1] = new Point(x,y);
x = e.x < s.x
? e.x + ((xout > 0) ? random(1,xout) : 1)
: e.x - ((xout > 0) ? random(1,xout) : 1);
y = e.y < s.y
? e.y + ((yout > 0) ? random(1,yout) : 1)
: e.y - ((yout > 0) ? random(1,yout) : 1);
cooardList[2] = new Point(x,y);
double px = 0,py = 0;
for(t=k;t<=1+k;t+=k){
//use Berstein polynomials
px=(cooardList[0].x+t*(-cooardList[0].x*3+t*(3*cooardList[0].x-
cooardList[0].x*t)))+t*(3*cooardList[1].x+t*(-6*cooardList[1].x+
cooardList[1].x*3*t))+t*t*(cooardList[2].x*3-cooardList[2].x*3*t)+
cooardList[3].x*t*t*t;
py=(cooardList[0].y+t*(-cooardList[0].y*3+t*(3*cooardList[0].y-
cooardList[0].y*t)))+t*(3*cooardList[1].y+t*(-6*cooardList[1].y+
cooardList[1].y*3*t))+t*t*(cooardList[2].y*3-cooardList[2].y*3*t)+
cooardList[3].y*t*t*t;
robot.mouseMove((int)px, (int)py);
robot.delay(random(speed,speed*2));
}
}
}

public void moveMouse(int sx, int sy, int ex, int ey, int speed) throws AWTException {
Robot robot = new Robot();
int a = 10;
boolean flag = true;
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
int mov_x = ((ex * i) / 100) + (sx * (100 - i) / 100);
int mov_y = ((ey * i) / 100) + (sy * (100 - i) / 100);
if (flag == true) {
robot.mouseMove(mov_x + a, mov_y); // adds 10 to X-axis
flag = false;
} else {
robot.mouseMove(mov_x - 2 * a, mov_y); // subtracts 20 to X-axis
flag = true;
}
robot.delay(speed);
}
}
Just manipulated your code. This moves the mouse in straight path in X-direction. You can achieve what you want from here. Just get the ideas. You can move any way you want if you can manipulate mov_x and mov_y .

You could use Catmull-Rom method. Generate random controlpoints somewhere around the endpoints and maybe where the straight line would be, asking for coordinates on every step moving from start to end (parameter t, from zero to one).
