running a class a particular number of times

[antonyfran]

hey
can some please tell me how to run this class a specific number of times. maybe by using a for loop?.
i am making a game called memory game where you match the cards which are the same. i want to make this a multiplayer game rather than a single player game. Thus in order to do this i need to be able to run the class (shown below) a specific number of times.

i have an array called "players" which is a length of 5. and if the user enter the names into all five elements or there are 5 players then i need the program to run 5 times. else if the user only entered a name in two elements then i need the class "MemoryMatch" to run twice .

i know how to determine whether the user entered 5 names or a single by using if statements. but i dont know how to make the class "MemoryGame" run a specific number of times.

.. .and for the game i calculate the score of the user by finding the amount of time it takes the user to finish the game and then subtract the time they took from a base value of 500 points. i then put the time difference into an array called "timez" i also want the class to add the time to array "timez" at the end after the one of the players has finished the game or the class is run.

below i have the whole code for my program

??? Sorry, I'm a bit confused.

In your program you initiate a bunch of JPanels or JButtons or whatever, another words you use more then one of a class!

So what are you asking about?

Your extending JFrame. I don't know the exact syntax for the GUI's but maybe you need to extend it as a JComponent, then in a program on top of that, make 5 of them, and add them into a layout just like you did in this class...

If this is not what you mean, even though you're pretty specific about it then please say so...

If you want more then 5 you can make as many as you want and add them in a pattern... I don't know, this isn't a complicated problem, I don't think.

I hope this helped man, and good luck,

Welcome to TSDN.
To run a class file means a particular methods gets called.
Right?
So create an Object reference of that class and call that particular method when ever u want.
Right?
Best of luck.

Kind regards,
