Method: "getMap" and "map" doesn't work

Question

I am a very beginner programmer, so I follow a youtube-tutorial that shows me how to build a simple snake app. The men at the youtube-tutorial got an older version of AndroidStudio than me. He uses AndroidStudio version 2.1.2, I use AndroidStudio version 2.2.2 with java language.

My problem is that he uses the commands getMap and map and it works. When I do that it doesn't work.My guestion is what i have to replace in the >methods "getMap" and "map"

The youtube-tutorial that I follow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPlG7ra83lo At 12:00 he uses this command first time.

Answer 1

The problem with your code is that you are using Round Bracket () while it has to square brackets [] since you are declaring two dimensional arrays. Replace them like :

public TileType[][] getMap() {
    TileType[][] map = new TileType[GameWidth][Gameheight];

    for (int x = 0; x < GameWidth; x++) {
        for (int y = 0; y < Gameheight; y++) {
            map[x][y] = TileType.Nothing;
        }
    }

    for (Coordinate wall: walls) {
        map[wall.getX()][wall.getY()] = TileType.Wall;
    }

    return map;


 }

PS: you really need to start with the basics.
