i'm almost done with this program but i can't figure out how to shoo the wumpus. i'm stuck as to how the shot direction has the wumpus in there.
it's the last part of the main method is where i put it..please help thanks
import java.util.*;

}
maze [r.nextInt(4)][r.nextInt(6)] = 'w'; //places the wumpus randomly in the maze
}// end of Maze method

what in the world is a wumpus?
Hunt the Wumpus is an early computer game, based on a simple hide-and-seek format featuring a mysterious monster (the Wumpus) that lurks deep inside a network of rooms.

To "shoo" the Wumpus, you need to modify the code inside the if statement `if (move == 5) // shoot the wumpus in the world`.
Here are the steps to shoot the Wumpus:
1. Add a nested if statement inside the `if (move == 5)` block to handle the shoot direction.
2. Inside the nested if statement, check if the shoot direction matches the Wumpus's location.
3. If the shoot direction matches the Wumpus's location, print a message saying that the Wumpus has been killed.
4. If the shoot direction does not match the Wumpus's location, print a message saying that the shot missed.
5. Update the `state` variable in the if statements to reflect the result of the shot.
Here's an example of how you could implement this:
```java
if (move == 5) // shoot the wumpus in the world
{
System.out.println("Which direction would you like to shoot? 1=up, 2=down, 3=right, 4=left");
int shootDir = in.nextInt();
// check if the Wumpus gets killed
if (shootDir == 1 && playerRow > 0 && maze[playerRow - 1][playerCol] == 'w') {
System.out.println("You killed the Wumpus!");
state = 3;
} else if (shootDir == 2 && playerRow < 3 && maze[playerRow + 1][playerCol] == 'w') {
System.out.println("You killed the Wumpus!");
state = 3;
} else if (shootDir == 3 && playerCol < 5 && maze[playerRow][playerCol + 1] == 'w') {
System.out.println("You killed the Wumpus!");
state = 3;
} else if (shootDir == 4 && playerCol > 0 && maze[playerRow][playerCol - 1] == 'w') {
System.out.println("You killed the Wumpus!");
state = 3;
} else {
System.out.println("You missed the shot!");
state = 1;
}
}
```
Make sure to update the `state` variable depending on whether the shot hits or misses the Wumpus. In this example, the `state` is set to 3 if the Wumpus is killed, and 1 if the shot misses. Finally, remember to update the `state` variable after the `state = checkMove(...)` lines in the movement if statements to handle the cases where the player moves and does not shoot.
Once you have made these modifications, the program should be able to handle shooting the Wumpus.
