A "Go back" statement

[awesom]

Hi,

I'm making a game with serveral rooms. It is a text game.
But now i got a problem... How do i manage to take them back to the previous room?
Example: He was in the kitchen--> he goes to the bathroom. Now i want that he goes back to the bathroom if i enter the command "Back".
Some idea's?

How do i manage to take them back to the previous room?

Very hard to say without seeing your code structure.
Typically you go back with a loop.
Or you could use a Stack.
When you enter a room push the current location onto the Stack.
When you exit a room, pop off the previous location to be the current location.

Oke i managed to make a "stack", now i want to run it, Do i need to save it as a .jar file and how can i run it?

[Norm]

You don't need a jar to run/execute your program. Open a command prompt window, change to the folder with the class files and use the java command to start execution of your program.

But i want a file so i can excute the game

[Norm]

I thought you'd want to test it before packaging it.
You do not need to put the files in a jar for testing.

So i can make of my java files a .exe and can i make of .jar a .exe?

[Norm]

I don't know anything about making a .exe file.
If you don't know how java programs work, you should read this:
"Hello World!" for Microsoft Windows (The Java™ Tutorials > Getting Started > The "Hello World!" Application)

It is possible to bundle java apps into an .exe, but that makes them platform dependent, which defeats the entire point of java. You cannot make a 'jar' of an exe, at least not in the way I think you mean. A jar is basically a zip file with some extra meta information that that JVM understands how to open and execute byte code from. While you could include an exe in a jar file, I don't see why you would, and once again, this would be platform dependent.
