Question

Trying to make this into multiplayer…Needs to be up to 5 players. I have the basics already, just cant figure out how to make it work for multiplayer. The ways that I tried we’re not storing the guesses for each person. This is the stripped down version.

import java.util. * ;

public class randomNumber {

  public static void hint(int answer, int guess) {
    if(answer < guess) {
      System.out.println("Incorrect! \n TOO HIGH!.");
    } else if(answer > guess) {
      System.out.println("Incorrect! \n TOO LOW!.");
    } else if(answer == guess) {
      System.out.println("YOU GOT IT!");
    }
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("How many Players will be playing?");
    int players = players();
    int player = 0;
    player++;
    System.out.println("Player " + player + " Enter a number");
    int guess = guess();
    int answer = random();
    int count = 0;
    while (guess != answer) {
      hint(answer, guess);
      count = count(count);
      guess = guess();
    }
    hint(answer, guess);
    System.out.println("It took " + count(count) + " tries!");

  }

  public static int random() {
    return(int)(Math.random() * 100) + 1;
  }

  public static int players() {
    Scanner my_input = new Scanner(System. in );
    return my_input.nextInt();
  }

  public static int guess() {
    Scanner my_input = new Scanner(System. in );
    return my_input.nextInt();
  }

  public static int count(int c){

    c++;

    return c;
  }
}

You have made a class, it’s the first step in O.O. programming

But, all your methods are static, it’s a limitation.

You have to remove all the static keyword but the main and to instantiate your game 5 times.

It’s the second step in O.O.: the instances.

Once done you’ll see some details need to be unique, you’ll create a second class, instantiate one time. This class will be in relation with the 5 instances.

Walk on this way yourself…
