A matrix is an array of arrays it's not hard at all. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutor...ltiarrays.html - something to get you started , google for more , but you should get an ideea.

Hey xavier, yeah i tried that matrix method but i dint really work well so i just did some ugly codes...so its working now...

but there is still the need to create a new Method called something like �describeRoom()�. This Method should :;

a) Change the Label to read �You are in room X�, where �X� is the room specified by the pointer (�intCurrentRoom�).

b) Ask the room currently specified by the pointer (�intCurrentRoom�) what rooms lead off of it (getRooms(): int[]), and store the results (temporarily) in an array.

c) Change the text (<button>.setLabel(<String>)) of each Button to be the value of one of those three exits.

Here is wat i have in the 'work in progress code':

(Toggle Plain Text)

public class Room

{

    int intRooms[] = new int [19];
    int intRoomCount = 0;


    
    
    public void totalRooms(int newtotalRooms)
    {
       int intRooms[] = new int [newtotalRooms];
    }
    
    public void addRoom(int NewRoom)
    {
        //When new room is added Room count is increased
        intRooms[intRoomCount] = NewRoom;
        intRoomCount++;
        
        //Array values
        intRooms[0] = 1;
        intRooms[0] = 4;
        intRooms[0] = 5;
        intRooms[1] = 0;
        intRooms[1] = 2;
        intRooms[1] = 7;
        intRooms[2] = 1;
        intRooms[2] = 3;
        intRooms[2] = 9;
        intRooms[3] = 2;
        intRooms[3] = 4;
        intRooms[3] = 11;
        intRooms[4] = 0;
        intRooms[4] = 3;
        intRooms[4] = 13;
        intRooms[5] = 0;
        intRooms[5] = 6;
        intRooms[5] = 14;
        intRooms[6] = 5;
        intRooms[6] = 7;
        intRooms[6] = 16;
        intRooms[7] = 1;
        intRooms[7] = 6;
        intRooms[7] = 8;
        intRooms[8] = 7;
        intRooms[8] = 9;
        intRooms[8] = 17;
        intRooms[9] = 2;
        intRooms[9] = 8;
        intRooms[9] = 10;
        intRooms[10] = 9;
        intRooms[10] = 11;
        intRooms[10] = 18;
        intRooms[11] = 3;
        intRooms[11] = 10;
        intRooms[11] = 12;
    }
    
    
    
    public int describeRoom()
    {
        return intCurrentRoom;
    }
    
    public int[] getRooms()
    {
        return intRooms;
    }

    public void intCurrentRoom()
    {
        int intCurrentRoom;
    }


    }
