Stack Trace Hi i'm working on a GUI for monopoly and i've reached a stage where i need to get user input that would ask for a specific number of players and would provide a certain number of tokens (monopoly pieces) based on the number of players specified. I've currently hit a problem i feel really shouldn't be as serious as it is where if i do try to specify the number of players for the game i'm hit with a an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException and i can't seem to identify where or what is wrong and how to fix it. Thanks for the help in advance and any edits or tips for my code to make it more efficient are also welcome. I will attach all necessary program files.
P.s i posted the full source code as i felt it was necessary as a shortened version wouldn't make things as clear. Thanks again. P.p.s the code does work when i specify the number of players in the source code without asking for user input but stops working when i do specify user input. Monopoly Board Image
