yea sorry if it was unclear...
i'll try to explain!

Code:

class One
{
private int initialFood = 30;
private int numCreepers = 30;
private int birthWeightCreepers = 3;

//here i'm not sure which is correct 
private Cell[] cell = new Cell[9];
//or: private int[] cell = new int[9];

//get and set methods for food, creepers, birthWeight

//initialize game method
public void methodName()
{
  //add food to the cells
  for(i = 0; i < initialFood; i++)
  {
     //find a cell - random NUM between 0 and numberOfCells
     randomNum = (int) (Math.random() * numCells);
     //add food to the cell
     cell[index] = randomNum; // not sure what would happen when index goes   //past 9, but i couldn't think of anything else:confused:  
}
public void methodName2()
{
  //add creepers to the cells
  for(index = 0; index < numCreepers; i++)
  {
     //random num: 0 and numCells
     randomNum = (int) (Math.random() * numCells);
     //tell the cell to add a Creeper(pass in the birth weight)
         //yea here i'm confused because addCreeper is a method in Cell class ,              
         //so then the cell[] should be of type Cell
         //i think to access the method!
  }
}
}//end class

class Cell
{
  private amount of food;
  private array of creepers//the array within a cell 

  //add a creeper method
  public void addCreeper
  {
     //for each element in the array of creepers
     for(index = 0; index < creepers.length; index++)
     {
        //if not null
        if(creepers[index] != null)
        {
           //create a creeper
           Creeper theCreeper = new Creeper();//Creeper has get and set //methods for age and weight and thats all
           //set birth weight and age(age = 1; weight given by caller)
           theCreeper.setAge(1);//set age
 
           //update the element with a ref. to the Creeper
        } //end if  
     }//end for
   }
  }
}//this is getting too long sorry about that! i think it would give you a better //idea of what's happening!
