Logic flow for android game
Hi I'm new to android game development and I'd like to ask you guys regarding the correct logic flow for this android game of mine. So here's my game. It's a pretty simple game which user has to choose the correct color. The game has 3 stages. In each stage, it has 10 questions. In each question, it has a 30 seconds timer. with a question and choices, of course it needs to be randomized. If the user chooses the correct color, it will proceed to the next question. But if the user chooses the wrong color, he/she has only 3 trials to choose, if he/she reaches the 3rd trial, Game is OVER and display a TRY AGAIN button.
Here's a piece of code that I tried:
// I created a custom countdown timer c/o Say
counter = new MyCount(30000,1000);
counter.start();
// Call for correct object
getCorrectObject();
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch(v.getId()){
case R.id.pause:
if(mLastResourceId == R.drawable.pause){
pause.setImageResource(R.drawable.resume);
mLastResourceId = R.drawable.resume;
counter.cancel();
} else if (mLastResourceId == R.drawable.resume) {
pause.setImageResource(R.drawable.pause);
mLastResourceId = R.drawable.pause;
counter = new MyCount(s1,1000);
counter.start();
}
break;
}
public class MyCount extends CountDownTimer
{
public MyCount(long millisInFuture, long countDownInterval)
{
super(millisInFuture, countDownInterval);
}
@Override
public void onFinish()
{
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Stage1_2.class);
startActivity(i);
}
TextView tx = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.timer);
@Override
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished)
{
s1 = millisUntilFinished;
tx.setText("" + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
}
}
What also I'm considering is, if the user chooses the correct answer without the timer has ended, what should I put in onTick method to force the timer to end? And one of the tricky part that I face is the randomization of choices or the objects.
here is also what I've tried so far:
private void getCorrectObject() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
List<Integer> objects = new ArrayList<Integer>();
objects.add(1);
objects.add(2);
objects.add(3);
objects.add(4);
objects.add(5);
objects.add(6);
objects.add(7);
Collections.shuffle(objects);
int correctObject = objects.get(0);
Log.d("test", String.valueOf(correctObject));
switch(correctObject)
{
case 1:
bObjectCorrect.setImageResource(R.drawable.tree1);
bObjectCorrect.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Stage1_2.class);
startActivity(i);
new Thread(){
public void run(){
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(Stage1_1.this, R.raw.brown);
mp.start();
}
}.start();
finish();
}
});
break;
case 2:
bObject1.setImageResource(R.drawable.tree1);
bObject1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Stage1_2.class);
startActivity(i);
new Thread(){
public void run(){
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(Stage1_1.this, R.raw.brown);
mp.start();
}
}.start();
finish();
}
});
break;
case 3:
bObject2.setImageResource(R.drawable.tree1);
bObject2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Stage1_2.class);
startActivity(i);
new Thread(){
public void run(){
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(Stage1_1.this, R.raw.brown);
mp.start();
}
}.start();
finish();
}
});
break;
case 4:
bObject3.setImageResource(R.drawable.tree1);
bObject3.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Stage1_2.class);
startActivity(i);
new Thread(){
public void run(){
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(Stage1_1.this, R.raw.brown);
mp.start();
}
}.start();
finish();
}
});
break;
case 5:
bObject4.setImageResource(R.drawable.tree1);
bObject4.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Stage1_2.class);
startActivity(i);
new Thread(){
public void run(){
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(Stage1_1.this, R.raw.brown);
mp.start();
}
}.start();
finish();
}
});
break;
case 6:
bObject5.setImageResource(R.drawable.tree1);
bObject5.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Stage1_2.class);
startActivity(i);
new Thread(){
public void run(){
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(Stage1_1.this, R.raw.brown);
mp.start();
}
}.start();
finish();
}
});
break;
case 7:
bObject6.setImageResource(R.drawable.tree1);
bObject6.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Stage1_2.class);
startActivity(i);
new Thread(){
public void run(){
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(Stage1_1.this, R.raw.brown);
mp.start();
}
}.start();
finish();
}
});
break;
}
}
UPDATED: and another thing is, I'm confused where to put my while loop in here for 3 trials.
// I will put 3 trials logic here
while(trial <= 3){
trial++;
switch(correctObject)

case 1:
bObjectCorrect.setImageResource(R.drawable.stage1_1_object1);

I'd really love to hear your suggestions. Any help from you is truly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You don't need to put anything in onTick to handle this case. After you've called cancel() (which you do in your click handler), onTick() won't be called again.
