How to get multiple instances of an object/class

**xEthan** · 07-31-2013, 08:53 PM

Hello, so I have an application where 2 players can enter into a 1v1 and then before the 1v1 starts they have 1 minute to bet a certain amount of money based off how much they think they will win, so there can be multiple 1v1's happening at one time so I need to be able to keep track of all the players and the amount of money they bet so that the winner can receive all the money.

So I determined that the best way to do this was to create a 1v1 class but I do not know how I would keep track of all the different 1v1's going on at one time, when a player adds a bet, I need to be able to find the correct 1v1 (that contains the 2 players name) and increase the bet amount for that bet and not everyone's bet. And when 1 player dies I need to be able to find the correct instance of the class that contains that player's name.

Right now I have it so when a player accepts a 1v1 request it passes the following data to the class

Java Code:

OneVsOne ovo = new OneVsOne(p1, p2, betting);

And then I would call a specific class inside the "OneVsOne" class

Java Code:

ovo.randomClass();

(betting would default to 0 since there has not been any bets placed). But when a player does bet I need to pass to the class that contains player 1 and player 2 the value of betting, I'm confused how I would do this.

Thanks,
Ethan

(Also I have no idea if this would belong in 'Advanced java' or not) :\

No, all homework belongs in New to Java.

So basically you don't know how to set a value in an object.

Well, then its time to open up your Java book and start at chapter one.

I understand how to pass values to an object, but for all I know there could be 1 of these objects called, or 100. So I need to know how to figure out which object instance I have to use.

So there would be multiple instances of the same object, is it possible to iterate through all of the instances and check which contains which values?
