Here my code (In Java on Eclipse) displays 3 random cards from the a file. I am trying to get a shuffle button to work and randomly shuffle in 3 new cards. I used "Collections.shuffle(cards);" and passed it my boolean array but it says I can't because it wants a List<> list. Is it possible to get the shuffle to work with my boolean or would I have to use a List?
Here is my code:
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.geometry.Pos;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.image.Image;
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class DisplayCards extends Application {
HBox imageViews;
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
GridPane pane = new GridPane();
pane.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
boolean[] cards = new boolean[52];
int count = 0;
while(count <3) {
int card = (int)(Math.random() * 52);
if(!cards[card]) {
cards[card] = true;
pane.add(new ImageView(new Image("card/" (card) ".png")), count, 0);
count ;
}
}
imageViews = new HBox();
imageViews.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
shuffle();
Button btnShuffle = new Button("Shuffle");
btnShuffle.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
shuffle();
}
});
BorderPane Bpane = new BorderPane();
Bpane.setCenter(imageViews);
Bpane.setBottom(btnShuffle);
Scene scene = new Scene(pane, 250, 150);
primaryStage.setTitle("Display 4 Cards");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
private void shuffle() {
Collections.shuffle(cards);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
CodePudding user response:
You can implement the Fisher–Yates shuffle for an array.
private void shuffle(){
for(int i = cards.length - 1; i > 0; i ){
int j = java.util.concurrent.ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt(i 1);
boolean temp = cards[i];
cards[i] = cards[j];
cards[j] = temp;
}
}
