Hey, Hopefully someone can see the glaring mistake I'm making otherwise I'll have to go back to banging my head off the wall! I'm working on a board game and I have the board represented as a 2D array of Objects called Tiles (basically I'm drawing the board like a tiled map). Please excuse the formatting of the code. private Tile[][] board = { {RED_TILE, RED_TILE, RED_TILE, RED_TILE, RED_TILE, RED_TILE, RED_TILE, RED_TILE, RED_TILE},// red {BLUE_TILE_SOUTH, BLUE_TILE, BLUE_TILE_SOUTHEAST, BLUE_TILE_SOUTH, BLUE_TILE, BLUE_TILE, BLUE_TILE, BLUE_TILE_WEST, BLUE_TILE_SOUTH}, // blue {RED_TILE, RED_TILE, RED_TILE_SOUTH, RED_TILE_SOUTH, RED_TILE_EAST, RED_TILE, RED_TILE_SOUTH, RED_TILE_SOUTH, RED_TILE}, // red ... }; When I assign the coordinates for each tile so it can be drawn they are calculated correctly and each Tile in the 2D array is initialized, but when I do a get to check the coordintaes they are all over the place! There is nothing that could alter them as I don't make any other calls that access the array other than the getX and getY functions. // tile dimensions int tileWidth = RED_TILE.getWidth(); int tileHeight = RED_TILE.getHeight(); debug("SETTING X AND Y"); for (i = 0; i < 7; i++) { System.out.println("i = " + i); for (j = 0; j < 9; j++) { board[j].setX(paddingX + (tileWidth * j)); board[j].setY(paddingY + (tileHeight * i)); } } The generated coordinates are: 0, 0 60, 0 120, 0 180, 0 240, 0 300, 0 360, 0 420, 0 480, 0 0, 60 60, 60 120, 60 180, 60 240, 60 300, 60 360, 60 420, 60 480, 60 0, 120 60, 120 120, 120 180, 120 240, 120 300, 120 360, 120 420, 120 480, 120 0, 180 60, 180 120, 180 180, 180 240, 180 300, 180 360, 180 420, 180 480, 180 0, 240 60, 240 120, 240 180, 240 240, 240 300, 240 360, 240 420, 240 480, 240 0, 300 60, 300 120, 300 180, 300 240, 300 300, 300 360, 300 420, 300 480, 300 0, 360 60, 360 120, 360 180, 360 240, 360 300, 360 360, 360 420, 360 480, 360 Now, immediately after the coordinate setting loop, I do a getX and getY, using the code below: debug("GETTING X AND Y"); for (int k = 0; k < 7; k++) { for (j = 0; j < 9; j++) { System.out.print(board[k][j].getX() + ", "); System.out.println(board[k][j].getY()); } } And I get these coordinates: 360, 300 360, 300 360, 300 360, 300 360, 300 360, 300 360, 300 360, 300 360, 300 360, 360 480, 360 120, 60 360, 360 480, 360 480, 360 480, 360 240, 360 360, 360 360, 300 360, 300 480, 300 480, 300 240, 120 360, 300 480, 300 480, 300 360, 300 480, 180 480, 180 480, 180 300, 180 480, 180 300, 180 480, 180 480, 180 480, 180 480, 360 480, 360 360, 360 360, 360 180, 360 480, 360 360, 360 360, 360 480, 360 480, 300 360, 300 120, 300 480, 300 360, 300 360, 300 360, 300 420, 300 480, 300 480, 360 480, 360 360, 360 180, 360 240, 360 360, 360 360, 360 480, 360 480, 360 Can anyone please help me with this? I'm totally out of ideas with what is causing this bug!

Is the example of the Tile[][] pseudo code? Or are all the occurences of RED_TILE, BLUE_TILE, etc, referencing a single object?

If so, that is causing the error. For example board[0][0] and board[0][1] would be the same object so:

OMFG! :-o

That's exactly what the problem is - Thanks Angex! It's my own fault for trying to work on Java and C versions at the same time.

In the C version I defined what a RED_TILE etc was and I totally blindly followed a similar system in the Java version by making creating an instances of the repeated Tile objects.

Eugh, while I felt very frustrated earlier on, I feel very embarrassed right now!

Thanks again, you've said my head from some wall pounding! :)
