package java program into .jar file

hi,

i have written a simple horse race game for my friends and now want to distribute it to some other people. How do i package my program into a .jar file? Do i need to include all the files i imported like java.io.*?

Here is the code
Code:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class Horserace10
{
	static Random gen = new Random();

	public static void fx1()
	{
		int horse[] = new int[10];
		int x, y, rand, a, p, d, z;
		String n, pt, h;
		Scanner p1, p2, p1h, p1b, p2h, p2b, hold;
		horse[0] = 0;
		horse[1] = 0;
		horse[2] = 0;
		horse[3] = 0;
		horse[4] = 0;
		horse[5] = 0;
		horse[6] = 0;
		horse[7] = 0;
		horse[8] = 0;
		horse[9] = 0;
		rand = gen.nextInt(300);
		System.out.print("Welcome to the Horse Race Game!" + "\n\n");
		System.out.print("Enter Player 1's name" + "\n\n");
		p1 = new Scanner(System.in);
		n = p1.nextLine();
		System.out.print("\n\nEnter Player 2's name" + "\n\n");
		p2 = new Scanner(System.in);		
		pt = p2.nextLine();
		System.out.print("\nEnter the horse number " + n + " wants to bet on" + " (1 - 10)" + "\n\n#");
		p1h = new Scanner(System.in);
		x = p1h.nextInt();
		System.out.print("\nEnter how much money " + n + " wants to bet on Horse #" + x + "\n\n$");
		p1b = new Scanner(System.in);
		y = p1b.nextInt();
		System.out.print("\nEnter the horse number " + pt + " wants to bet on\n\n#");
		p2h = new Scanner(System.in);
		p = p2h.nextInt();
		System.out.print("\nEnter how much money " + pt + " wants to bet on Horse #" + p + " \n\n$");
		p2b = new Scanner(System.in);
		d = p2b.nextInt();
		System.out.print("\nThe race has started!!, Press enter to continue the race");
		a = rand + y + d;
		z = rand + d + y;
		do
		{
			System.out.print("\n");

			for (int track = 0; track < 10; track++)
			{
				System.out.print("\n\n|");
				for (int i = 0; i < 75; i++)
				{
					if (i != horse[track])
					{
						System.out.print("-");
					}
					else
					{
						System.out.print(track + 1);
					}

				}
				System.out.print("|");
			}
			hold = new Scanner(System.in);
			h = hold.nextLine();
			horse[0] += gen.nextInt(3) + 1;
			horse[1] += gen.nextInt(3) + 1;
			horse[2] += gen.nextInt(3) + 1;
			horse[3] += gen.nextInt(3) + 1;

	}
	public static void main(String[] args)
    {
for (int lo = 0; lo < 10; lo++)
	{
	int ch;
	Scanner choice;		
	fx1();
	System.out.print("\n\n	Nice Race!! If you want to play again, type 1 or type 2 to exit\n:");
	choice = new Scanner(System.in);
	ch = choice.nextInt();
		if (ch == 1)
		{ 
		System.out.print("\n\nHorse Race 10 is restarting...Done\n\n\n");
		lo = 2;
		}
		if (ch == 2)
		{
		System.out.print("\n\nHorse Race 10 is exiting... :(\n\n\nThanks for playing Horse Race 10!\n\n");
		lo = 15;
		}
	}
    }
}
also, is there another way to make the program handle ties without writing out all the different combinations?


thanks,

Read the manpage for jar, or java, and there should be a description on how to do it.

Instead of doing each comparison by hand, why not use a general comparison template with two, nested FOR loops?

i'm not sure what you mean by a comparison template with 2 for loops, could you post a small example of that?

thanks

That sure is a lot of code.
For starters, you don't need to assign 0 to each element in your array since an array of ints will have 0s by default.

You can also reduce the last part by using loops or using Arrays methods binarySearch() and sort() and using Math method max().

What I simply mean is:
Code:
for (int x = 0; x < 10; x++) {

  if (horse[x] > 75)

    for (int y = (x + 1); y < 10; y++) {

      // a quick, sorting algorithm to figure out
      // which horse came first...

    }

}
What I meant was to use two FOR loops to iterate through the array.
