Anyone know this year's GridWorld code? I need help on making a class.

public class fly extends Actor
{
    public fly()
    {
        setColor(Color.BLACK);
    }
 
    public fly(Color flyColor)
    {
        setColor(flyColor);
    }
 
    public void act()
    {
        if (canMove())
        {
            move();
        }
        else
        {
            turn();
        }
    }
 
    public void move()
    {
        if (getGrid() == null)
        {
            return;
        }
        ArrayList<Actors> actors = getActors();
        processActors(actors);
        ArrayList<Location> moveLocs = getMoveLocations();
        Location loc = selectMoveLocation(moveLocs);
        makeMove(loc);
    }
 
    public ArrayList<Actor> getActors()
    {
        return getGrid().getOccupiedLocations(getLocation());
    }
 
    public void processActors(ArrayList<Actor> actors)
    {
        for (Actor a : actors)
        {
            if (!(a instanceof Rock) && !(a instanceof Critter) && !(a instanceof fly) && !(a instanceof Bug))
            {
                a.removeSelfFromGrid();
            }
        }
    }
 
    public ArrayList<Location> getMoveLocations()
    {
        return getGrid().get //NEED HELP HERE!
    }
 
    public Location selectMoveLocation(ArrayList<Location> locs)
    {
        int n = locs.size();
        if (n == 0)
        {
            return getLocation();
        }
        int r = (int)(Math.random() * n);
        return locs.get(r);
    }
 
    public void makeMove(Location loc)
    {
        if (loc == null)
        {
            removeSelfFromGrid();
        }
        else
        {
            moveTo(loc);
        }
    }    
}

The above code is my idea for a fly class that moves around a bounded grid randomly. I cannot "eat" rocks, bugs, critters, and other flies. My problem is in the getMoveLocations method. I want it to be able to move randomly to any spot. But there is no method in the actor or grid class that says getValidMoveLocations. I think you need the getOccupiedLocation and subtract it from the grid? It's just an idea though.

Thanks

I don't know what GridWorld is; are you talking about this one?

Yeah it is. I basically have to create a new type of Actor.

Yeah it is. I basically have to create a new type of Actor.

I skimmed a bit through the API documentation for the Grid and found the method
getEmptyAdjacentLocations(Location loc). That should be a starting point.

Yeah, my idea for it was to make a new ArrayList.

So it would be something like,

ArrayList<Actor> valLocs = getGrid - getOccupiedLocations.

something along those lines
