Why does Eclipse require me to set (arbitrary) brackets in java code?

Question

I am currently trying to figure out how to use Eclipse to program Escape models in java. I am quite new to Escape and Eclipse, and it has been a while since I programmed in java

Answer 1

If you want to initialize the fields lattice, test and test2, try using the following:

    package ede.brook.model;

    import org.ascape.model.Scape;

    public class CoordinationGame extends Scape {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    public int latticeHeight = 30;
    public int latticeWitdh = 30;
    public int nPlayers = 200;

    Scape lattice = new Scape(new Array2DVonNeumann());
    Scape players;

    boolean test = true;
    int test2 = 3;

    }
