Java Game Help

So what you want to do is get the users input directly after you ask what direction they want to go. That can be done using your Scanner variable: sc. So I have created a new code snippet that does exactly this. Then, we analyze the user's input to see if it contains directional information using the .equalsIgnoreCase() - if it corresponds to a certain direction (left or right) we then send the program to methods corresponding with that direction.

[code2=java]import java.util.Scanner;
public class Island {

static Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException{
System.out.println("You awake to find yourself on an island in the middle of the sea.");
Thread.sleep(3000);
System.out.println("You then walk around the island, in which you find two paths.");
Thread.sleep(3000);
System.out.println("Choose from the left cobble path, or the right class path.");
//here we need to get the user's input
String direction = sc.nextLine(); //this holds the direction that the user chose
if (direction.equalsIgnoreCase("left"))
GoLeft();
else if (direction.equalsIgnoreCase("right"))
GoRight();
else
System.out.println("That is not a valid direction!");
}

//this method holds all of the information chosen if the user goes left
public void GoLeft()
{
System.out.println("You go left and find a trapdoor. What do you do?");
}

//this method holds all of the info chosen if the user goes right
public void GoRight()
{
System.out.println("You go right and find a dead end. Boo hoo.");
}
}[/code2]

This should be what you are looking for.
