while(!Player.isDead && !Enemy.isDead);

What is that semicolon doing there?

kind regards,

Jos

[J-max04]

oops... thanks heaps man!
EDIT: now is says 'unreported exception java.io.IOException; must be caught or declared to be thrown' on line 25 and line 49, the lines i declare the strings on

[J-max04]

fixed that, need help with a runtime error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main

[Tolls]

You need a main() method in the class you are attempting to execute.

[J-max04]

the while loop is in the main method

void main(String args[])

[JosAH]

Have you read a tutorials on the basics of Java? You must've missed the fact that the main( ... ) method has to be static.

kind regards,

Jos

... and public

db

[J-max04]

I KNOW THE BASICS OF JAVA! i had it static... and public before, and in my attempts to fix it i changed it to what it is!
EDIT; heres some irony, when i change it back it suddenly works!(i must have a messed up IDE)

[J-max04]

Now whenever i input it says "Incorrect input"...

[Tolls]

Don't sompare Strings using '==', use equals() instead.

[J-max04]

whats the syntax for that? equals(String, String)?

[J-max04]

its alright, i fixed it, thx everyone
