i have been trying to a cards game with java but some how it keeps falling. this game an odd number of players and each of them has a queue of cards the first player that is card queue is empty wins. every time i compile it keep giving me java.lang.NullPointerException error. thank you for helping.
package cardgame;
import unit4.collectionsLib.Queue;//importing the queue
public class Main {
public static boolean checkIsEmpty(Queue<Player> p){
boolean is=false;
p.insert(null);
while(p.head()!=null){
if(p.head().getC().isEmpty()){
is=false;
p.insert(p.remove());
}
}
p.remove();
return is;
}
public static int whoWin(Queue<Player> p){
p.insert(null);
while(p.head()!=null){
if(p.head().getC().isEmpty()){
return p.head().getIndex();
}
}
return 0;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Queue<Player> players = new Queue(); //queue of players
for(int i=0;i<5;i++){
players.insert(new Player());
}
boolean isOver=false;
while(!isOver)
//the game is over when one player finished his cards
{
Player p = players.remove();
if(p.getC().head().greater(players.head().getC().head())==1){
p.getC().remove();
players.insert(p);
players.insert(players.remove());
}
else if(p.getC().head().greater(players.head().getC().head())==2){
players.head().getC().remove();
players.insert(p);
players.insert(players.remove());
}
else{
players.head().getC().remove();
p.getC().remove();
players.insert(p);
players.insert(players.remove());
}
if(checkIsEmpty(players)){
isOver=true;
System.out.println("the winner in this game is player number :"+whoWin(players));
}
}
