Little help for java game bug needed

[Dellzie]

Hi guys,

For context I have started learning java for school and we have our first assignment coming up and I can't seem to fix 4 bugs in the game. The code is for a piles game where basicly you pick a pile from an array and choose how many tokens from that pile you would like to remove and the player with the last token wins.

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Random;

public class modingCode{
  private static Scanner imput = new Scanner (System.in);
  private static Random rand = new Random ();
  
  public static void main (String [] args){
    game();{
      private static void game();{
        String p1_name = name_check("Player 1 enter your name");
        String p2_name = name_check("Player 2 enter your name");
        int num_games = int_check("How many games would you like to play?");
        int [] score = new int [2];
        int [] piles = new int [5];
        int pile;
        boolean game_won;
        String turn = p1_name;
        int game_count = 0;
        while(game_count <num_games){
          game_count = game_count + 1;
          System.out.println("Game : " );
          for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
            piles [i] = rand.nextInt(5)+1;
          }
          while(game_won = true){
            System.out.println();
            System.out.println(turn + " its your turn ");
            for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
              pile = i + 1;
              System.out.println("Pile " + pile + " has " +
                                 piles [i] + " tokens");
            }
            int pile_to_take = int_check ("Enter the pile to take away from: ");
            int taken = int_check("Enter the number of tokens to take: ");'
              piles [pile_to_take - 1] = piles [(pile_to_take - 1)] - taken;
              
              for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
              piles[i] = rand.nextInt()+1;
            }
          }
        }
      }
      
      private static String name_check String prompt;{
        while(true){
          System.out.println(prompt);
          String text = input.nextLine();
          if(text.isEmpty){
            System.out.println("Please enter your name: ");
          }
          else{
            System.out.println("Hello " + test);
            return num;
          }
        }
      }
      private static int int_check String prompt;{
        while(true){
          System.out.println(prompt);
          try{
            int num = Integer.parseInt(input.nextLine);
            return num;
          }
          catch(NumberFormatException e ){
            System.out.println("Please enter a number: ");
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Any help on a fix would be great or a step in the right direction.

Cheers, ya boi Dellzie.

Your code is really ugly... There are a lot of sintaxe/logical errors.

Do you know the basic of Java Programming Language ...?

I've fixed only the sintaxe errors...

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Random;

public class modingCode {
  private static Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
  private static Random rand = new Random();

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    game();
  }

  private static void game() {
    String p1_name = name_check("Player 1 enter your name");
    String p2_name = name_check("Player 2 enter your name");
    int num_games = int_check("How many games would you like to play?");
    int[] score = new int[2];
    int[] piles = new int[5];
    int pile;
    boolean game_won = false;
    String turn = p1_name;
    int game_count = 0;
    while (game_count < num_games) {
      game_count = game_count + 1;
      System.out.println("Game : ");
      for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        piles[i] = rand.nextInt(5) + 1;
      }
      while (!game_won) {
        System.out.println();
        System.out.println(turn + " its your turn ");
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
          pile = i + 1;
          System.out.println("Pile " + pile + " has " +
            piles[i] + " tokens");
        }

        int taken = int_check("Enter the number of tokens to take: ");
        piles[pile_to_take - 1] = piles[(pile_to_take - 1)] - taken;

        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
          piles[i] = rand.nextInt() + 1;
