  • Method Details

    • loadSaveData

      void loadSaveData(String saveData)
      Loads in the data from a knights CSV file. Constructs a new Knight and adds it to the Knight List GameData.knights. Starts a counter for the IDs, with each new knight being assigned an ID in order of which they are read from the file While there are many ways to implement this method, this is implementation that we used. 
      
 int counter = 0;
 CSVReader reader = new CSVReader(saveData, false);
 while (reader.hasNext()) {
     List<String> line = reader.getNext();
     Knight kt = new Knight(++counter, line.get(0).trim(), IntegerparseInt(line.get(1)),
             Integer.parseInt(line.get(2)), Integer.parseInt(line.get(3)), DiceType.valueOf(line.get(4)),
             Integer.parseInt(line.get(5)));
     knights.add(kt);
 }
      DiceType.valueOf was a method that was automatically generated for you as an enum. It takes in a string that looks *EXACTLY* like the enum, and converts it to the enum, so "D4" becomes DiceType.D4
      Parameters:
      saveData - a file containing knight information
