Homework error java.lang.IllegalAccessException

I am currently attempting to finish my first coding Homework assignment, and My teacher and TA are utterly useless. I have been stuck on this problem and many more for days now with no response other than "There is an error" whenever I ask for help. When I try to run my code in Eclipse, it works perfectly and I have no errors that I have noticed. But, when I try to execute it from the cmd prompt I get the following message:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class org.eclipse.jdt.internal.jarinjarloader.JarRsrcLoader can not access a member of class ATM with modifiers "public static"
at sun.reflect.Reflection.ensureMemberAccess(Unknown Source)

at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source)
at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.jarinjarloader.JarRsrcLoader.main(JarRsrcLoader.java:58)
I have tried googling it, and as far as I have found, the Illegal Access Exception is thrown only for Private and Final methods, which I do not have any of in my code. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, please realize that my code may not be good as I have had to teach myself how to code completely.

Creating an array of objects but it doesn't find the symbols

I am creating an array of Players in a minigame in Java. There is a class called Players and one called Game.
In the Main we scan two names and send them to the Game
game.createPlayer(name1, name2);
and later on try to get some information back
playerArray[(game.getPlayerTurn() % 2)].getPlayerName();
The Player gets constructed in the Game as an array:
public class Game
{
private Player[] playerArray;
[...]
public void createPlayer(String name1, String name2)
{
Player[] playerArray = new Player[2];
playerArray[0] = new Player(name2);
playerArray[1] = new Player(name1);
}
with the Player as a standard class:
public class Player
{
private String playerName;
public Player( String playerName )
{
this.playerName = playerName;
}
public String getPlayerName()
{
return playerName;
}
}
This however returns multiple errors saying it cannot find the symbol wherever i try to find out the name of the player. Did I not properly instanciate them?
Additional code (as per request):
package oop.nimspiel;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class Game

{
System.out.println("Your input was wrong, please use a number between 1 and 3.");
System.out.println("How many stones would you like to take?");

System.out.println("Do you want to play another round? Y for yes, anything else for no");
String userInput = input.next();
nextRound = userInput.toUpperCase();
} while (nextRound.equals("Y"));
}
}

In your createPlayer method, you should access playerArray by this keyword (this.playerArray = new Player[2]).
Currently you are creating an array on the fly, and the class variable is untouched, that's why you are getting an exception.
public class Game
{
private Player[] playerArray;
[...]
public void createPlayer(String name1, String name2)
{
this.playerArray = new Player[2];
playerArray[0] = new Player(name2);
playerArray[1] = new Player(name1);
}

Java - BlackJack project - Problems with I/O and cycles

I'm trying to make a simple BlackJack game driven by character input and I'm having a lot of problems in the later part it.
I commented the part that's giving me troubles, the rest doesn't seem to have errors and I did unit test it.
So, what did I do? I created a class that holds the cards drawn and manages them, table, player and dealer are both instances of table.
A table has max 5 cards(for simplicity), every card object comes from the Card class that has a method to add data to the card object.
The main class drives the program and the decisions are made with a character input from the keyboard, I get problems at that point.
import java.io.IOException;
class Table{
Card[] hand = new Card[5];
int counter = 1;
Table() {
for ( int i=0; i<hand.length; i++) {
hand[i]=new Card();
}
hand[0].GetCard();
}
void ReadCards(){
for(int i= 0;i<counter;i++ ) {
System.out.println("The card "+(i+1)+" is " + hand[i].name + " "+ hand[i].seed + "." );
}
}
void DrawCards() {
hand[counter].GetCard();
counter++;
}
boolean isOut() {
int sum = 0;
for(int i= 0;i<counter;i++ ) {
sum += hand[i].value;
if(sum >21) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
int TheSum() {
int sum = 0;
for(int i= 0;i<counter;i++ ) {
sum += hand[i].value;
}
return sum;
}
boolean isWIN(Table p2) {
int sum = 0;
int sump2 = 0;
for(int i= 0;i<counter;i++ ) {
sum += hand[i].value;
}
for(int i= 0;i<p2.counter;i++ ) {
sump2 += p2.hand[i].value;
}
if (sum>sump2) {
return true;
}

And yes, I'm not used to java.
Console screenshot of the output here!

Here is an example of fixing your looping issues, however there may be some issue with the game logic, which is out of the scope of this question.
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Welcome to the BlackJack's table! Press y to start! ");
char flag;
do {
flag = (char) s.nextLine().charAt(0);
} while (flag != 'y');
Table dealer = new Table();
Table player = new Table();
System.out.println("DEALER");
dealer.ReadCards();
System.out.println("PLAYER");
player.ReadCards();
flag = ' ';
System.out.println("Do you want to draw a card? I'll draw until you'll press n");
while (true) {
flag = s.nextLine().charAt(0);
if (flag == 'n') {
break;
}
player.DrawCards();
player.ReadCards();
if (player.isOut()) {
System.out.println("YOU LOSE");
System.exit(0);
}
System.out.println("The dealer will draw");
while (dealer.TheSum() < 18) {
dealer.DrawCards();
dealer.ReadCards();
if (dealer.isOut()) {
System.out.println("YOU WIN");
System.exit(0);
}
}
System.out.println(String.format("The dealer has finished drawing. Dealers score %d. Your score %d", dealer.TheSum(), player.TheSum()));
}
System.out.println("WHO WON?");
if (player.isWIN(dealer)) {
System.out.println("YOU WIN");
} else {
System.out.println("YOU LOSE");
}
}
Output:
Welcome to the BlackJack's table! Press y to start!
y
DEALER
The card 1 is 8 CLUB.
PLAYER
The card 1 is 2 SPADE.
Do you want to draw a card? I'll draw until you'll press n
n
WHO WON?
YOU LOSE

update a variable in a different class

How do I make amount() in class Casino.java store the total value and allow it to be returned to the class Roulette.java.
When I use:

Looks like you're probably running into a StackOverflowException. When you call Casino.amount() inside of Roulette.number(), it then calls Roulette.amountUpdate(), which then calls Roulette.number(). Your methods are stuck in an infinite loop like this. You'll need to redesign your code such that these 3 functions are not all dependent on each other.
Your code is terse, so it's hard to help you fully solve the problem, but I believe you would benefit from splitting up your "amount" variable into separate entities. Keep things like bet amount, winnings, and such separate until you need to combine them.
Another issue you may run into is thatRoulette.amountUpdate() is called twice in Casino.amount(), but Roulette.amountUpdate() will not necessarily return the same thing both times. Consider storing the return value from the first call instead of calling it twice.

Blackjack program score total

So in my blackjack program when each game ends the program asks you if you would to play again. My main problem right now is that when the new game is started the score counter just keeps adding the new score to the old score instead of resetting to 0. Im not really sure how to fix it. Here are the two classes where the problem is.
Player class:
public class Player{
private String name;
private Card[] hand; // from 2 - 5 cards allowed
private int cardCount,
chips;
public Player()
{
hand = new Card[5];
chips = 5;
cardCount = 0;
}
public Player(String n){
hand = new Card[5];
name = n;
chips = 5;
cardCount = 0;
}
public void acceptACard(Card c){
hand[cardCount] = new Card();
hand[cardCount] = c;
cardCount++;
}
public void showHand(int startCard)
{
for (int i = startCard; i < cardCount; i++){
System.out.print(hand[i] + "\t"); // displays one card from hand
}
}
public int calcScore(){
int cardScore =0;
int total = 0;
boolean hasAce = false;
for(int i=0; i < cardCount; i++){
cardScore = hand[i].getValue();
if (cardScore >=11 && cardScore <=13)
cardScore = 10;
else if (cardScore == 14){
cardScore = 11;
hasAce = true;
}
total += cardScore;}
if (total > 21 && hasAce == true)
total -= 10;
return total;
}
public void incrementChips(){
chips ++;
}
public void decrementChips(){
chips --;
}
public int getChips(){
return chips;
}
}
BlackJack class:
public class BlackJack {
private Player human,
computer;
private Deck deck = new Deck();
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
public BlackJack(){
human = new Player("");
computer = new Player ("");
}
public void playGame()
{
int cardTotal = 0;
String answer, answer2;
deck.shuffle();
do{
for ( int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
{
human.acceptACard(deck.dealACard());
computer.acceptACard(deck.dealACard());
}
System.out.print(" Human hand: ");
human.showHand(0);
System.out.print("\n Computer hand: ");
computer.showHand(1);
System.out.println("\nThe computers total points: " +
computer.calcScore());
System.out.println("Players total points: " + human.calcScore());
if(human.calcScore() == 21 && computer.calcScore() < 21)
System.out.println("You win");
else if (computer.calcScore() == 21 && human.calcScore() < 21)
System.out.println("Computer wins!");
else if (computer.calcScore() == 21 && human.calcScore() == 21)
System.out.println("Tie!");
else if (human.calcScore() < 21)
do{
System.out.println("\nWould you like to hit or stay? Type hit or" +
" stay.");
answer = scan.nextLine();
if(answer.equals("hit"))
{
dealHand();
human.calcScore();
computer.calcScore();
cardTotal ++;
}
}while(cardTotal < 4 && answer.equals("hit"));
determineWinner();
System.out.println("Would you like to play again? Enter yes or no: ");
answer = scan.nextLine();
}while(answer.equals("yes"));
reportGameStatus();
}
public void dealHand(){
int i = 2; int j =2;
human.acceptACard(deck.dealACard());
System.out.println("New card: ");
human.showHand(i++);
while(computer.calcScore() < 17){
computer.acceptACard(deck.dealACard());
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Computer's new card: ");
computer.showHand(j++);
}
}
public void determineWinner(){
System.out.println("\nThe computers total points: " +
computer.calcScore());
System.out.println("Players total points: " + human.calcScore());
if (computer.calcScore() > human.calcScore() && computer.calcScore()<22){
System.out.println("Computer wins!");
computer.incrementChips();
human.decrementChips();
}
else if (human.calcScore() > computer.calcScore() && human.calcScore()
<22){
System.out.println("You win!!");
human.incrementChips();
computer.decrementChips();
}
else if (human.calcScore() == computer.calcScore() )
System.out.println("Tie!");
else if (human.calcScore() > 21){
System.out.println("You bust! The Computer wins!");
computer.incrementChips();
human.decrementChips();
}
else if (computer.calcScore() > 21){
System.out.println("The Computer busts! You win!");
computer.decrementChips();
human.incrementChips();
}
}
public void reportGameStatus(){
if(computer.getChips() > human.getChips())
System.out.println("Overall winner is the computer!");
else if(human.getChips() > computer.getChips())
System.out.println("You are the overall winner!");
}
}
Any help would be much appreciated.

I think here is your problem:
if(answer.equals("hit"))
{
dealHand();
human.calcScore();
computer.calcScore();
cardTotal ++;
}
Instead of making new Objects you use the old ones and keep their inner state. That means your construktor is not used a second time and therefore your score, hand, chips are not resetted.
How about trying this:
if(answer.equals("hit"))
{
dealHand();
Player human = new Player();
human.calcScore();
Computer computer = new Coputer();
computer.calcScore();
cardTotal ++;
}
Also you have to make a new Deck everytime you start a new game:
Deck deck = new Deck();
Edit:
If you want to keep your chipCount place it in an Object wich will be initialiset in the constructor of your Blackjack class. After that call a function chipcount.setChipcount(chips); if you want to change the chipCount. Obvisoulsly your chipcount-object should have a getter getChipcounts() as well to get the actual chipCount.
It could look like this:
public BlackJack(){
human = new Player("");
computer = new Player ("");
ChipCount chipCount = new Chipcount(0);
}
here is how your object would be:
class ChipCount{
int chipCount;
public ChipCount(int startChips){
this.chipCount = startchips;
}
public void setChips(int chipsToAdd){
this.chipCount = this.chipcount + chipsToAdd;
}
public int getChips(){
return chipCount;
}
}
Before youre asking. Of course you could make two objects (ChipCountPlayer & ChipCountComputer). Also there is the possibility of giving setChips & getChips another argument like:
class ChipCount{
int chipCountPlayer;
int chipCountComp;
public ChipCount(int startChips){
this.chipCountPlayer = startchips;
this.chipCountComp = startchips;
}
public void setChips(int chipsToAdd, String player){
if(player.equals("player")){
this.chipCountPlayer = this.chipcountPlayer + chipsToAdd;
} else if (player.equals("computer")){
this.chipCountComp = this.chipcountComp + chipsToAdd;
}
}
public int getChips(String player){
if(player.equals("player")){
return chipCountPlayer;
} else if (player.equals("computer")){
return chipCountcomp;
}
}
}
that would be the other solution :P
PS: I am not fond of blackjack, does the computer even have chips? Anyway you could replace the comp with another player if you want to further extent your programm :D
