Explanation of Solution

Table Creation:

Creating table comes under Data Definition Language (DDL).

  • The “CREATE TABLE” command is used to create a table by specifying the table name and then by listing the column in a single set of parentheses in the table.
  • The “CREATE” command is employed for establishing databases on our platform by constructing tables in an already existing database.

The Syntax for creating table is as follows:

CREATE TABLE TABLE_NAME (

  Column1 datatype,

  Column2 datatype,

);

Creating table “EMP”:

CREATE TABLE EMP (

EMP_NUM     CHAR(3)

EMP_LNAME      VARCHAR(15)

EMP_FNAME      VARCHAR(15)));

Explanation:

 The above query is used to create a table structure named “EMP” . The attribute “EMP_NUM” is declared as “CHAR” and the attributes “EMP_LNAME” and “EMP_FNAME” is declared as “VARCHAR”.

The player’s character should be able to moved with the well known WASD keyboard buttons. If the dragon gets to a neighboring field of the player, then the player dies. Because it is dark in the labyrinth, the player can see only the neighboring fields at a distance of 3 units.  Cell Class: public class Cell { private boolean isWall; public Cell(boolean isWall) { this.isWall = isWall; } public boolean isWall() { return isWall; } public void setWall(boolean isWall) { this.isWall = isWall; } @Override public String toString() {…
