Buy a book called "Objects First With Java"

 

It is extremely good at explaining the basics of Java.

What you don't understand in Java? OOP concepts, syntax, package and classes organization?

you see i can write some basic programs like a calculator and pig latin translators but i suppose my big hangup right now is worker class to object class it makes no sense to me, you see my big project righjt now is i have to program the game scorched earth doesnt have to have graphics but im so lost

You see ill explain with a subtraction program i made once, using a worker class i had to define the variables and parse them as a double or integer and set the variables to subtract i then had to  create a class that would simply ask the user to input two numbers and it would set them to subtract

It just needs to be a text based game?

 

Seems pretty simple. Post more specifics about your project requirements.

The assignment sheet my teacher gave me reads this: You will be programming a tank simulation for the military. this program will consist of a tank firing a projectile at a target. you the programmer will have to input values of velocity and angle. you will be required to find if the projectile hits a target that is a certain distance away. after this you then can add two tanks that take turns firing projectiles. the winner of each round will be given a cash prize to buy other weapons the weapons must have a expandable damage area.

i suppose that does make sense but what my problem is is that i dont know how to put these things in did i mention i dont understand math formulas the greatest especially with programming, ugh im just stresssed this is a big project and i only have 5 weeks till the end of the semester and this is due at the end of the week

Reading the description of the tank program you are having to make, it sounds like Gorillas from MS-DOS 5 [done in QBasic]. I remember reading through the source code trying to understand that game; fun times.
