I'm trying to make the star shape only appear once. I tried using the while function and cant seem to make it work for shapes but managed to to for Scanner. Do I need to insert the while loop code in my star condition code or before the for loop starts at the beginning? Here is my code:
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
GridPane grid = new GridPane();
grid.setVgap(5);
grid.setHgap(5);
Random rand = new Random();
//Shapes
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
int shapePick = rand.nextInt(5);
if (shapePick == 0) {//CIRCLE
Circle circle = new Circle(0, 0, 25);
circle.setFill(Color.RED);
circle.setStroke(Color.BLACK);
grid.add(circle, i, j);
} else if (shapePick == 1) {//SQUARE
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, 50, 50);
rect.setFill(Color.BLUE);
rect.setStroke(Color.BLACK);
grid.add(rect, i, j);
} else if (shapePick == 2) {//TRIANGLE
Path tri = new Path();
MoveTo moveTo = new MoveTo(25, 0);
LineTo line1 = new LineTo(0, 50);
LineTo line2 = new LineTo(50, 50);
LineTo line3 = new LineTo(25, 0);
tri.getElements().add(moveTo);
tri.getElements().addAll(line1, line2, line3);
tri.setFill(Color.GREEN);
tri.setStroke(Color.BLACK);
grid.add(tri, i, j);
} else if (shapePick == 3) {//HEXAGON
Polygon hexa = new Polygon(25.0, 0.0, 0.0, 20.0, 0.0, 40.0, 25.0, 60.0, 50.0, 40.0, 50.0, 20.0);
hexa.setFill(Color.PURPLE);
hexa.setStroke(Color.BLACK);
grid.add(hexa, i, j);
} else {
Polygon star = new Polygon(25, 0, 15, 20, 0, 20, 10, 40, 5, 60, 25, 50, 45, 60, 40, 40, 50, 20, 35, 20);
star.setFill(Color.YELLOW);
star.setStroke(Color.BLACK);
grid.add(star, i, j);
}
}
}
Since the Star is the largest number, the limit the range of choices.
int possible=5;
//Shapes
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
int shapePick = rand.nextInt(possible);
//....
else {
Polygon star = new Polygon(25, 0, 15, 20, 0, 20, 10, 40, 5, 60, 25, 50, 45, 60, 40, 40, 50, 20, 35, 20);
star.setFill(Color.YELLOW);
star.setStroke(Color.BLACK);
grid.add(star, i, j);
possible = 4;
