It is clear to me that the x and y of the creatures are being switched every time they move by ther coordinates it prints out every time i update the progam, but I cant locate where this is happening, please help.

Here is the code:

package matrixproject;

import java.util.*;

public class Creatures {
private int x;
private int y;
private int health;

public Creatures() {
    x = (int) (Math.random() * MatrixProject.environment[0].length);
    y = (int) (Math.random() * MatrixProject.environment.length);
    health = 3;
    MatrixProject.creatureCounts[y][x]++;
    System.out.println("Creature created at position (" + x + ", " + y + ")");
}

public int getX() {
    return x;
}

public int getY() {
    return y;
}

void move(int[][] environment) {
Random random = new Random();
int prevX = x;
int prevY = y;
List<int[]> validMoves = checkMoves(environment, x, y);
if (!validMoves.isEmpty()) {
    if (!isPeakOrValley(environment, x, y)) {
        int[] newPosition = validMoves.get(random.nextInt(validMoves.size()));
        int newX = newPosition[0];
        int newY = newPosition[1];

        // Decrement creature count in previous position
        MatrixProject.creatureCounts[prevY][prevX]--;

        // Update creature's position
        x = newX;
        y = newY;

        // Increment creature count in new position
        MatrixProject.creatureCounts[y][x]++;

    }
}
            System.out.println("Creature created at position (" + x + ", " + y + ")");
}


boolean isPeakOrValley(int[][] environment, int x, int y) {
int currentElevation = environment[y][x];
boolean isPeak = true;
boolean isValley = true;

// Check all neighbors
for (int i = -1; i <= 1; i++) {
    for (int j = -1; j <= 1; j++) {
        if (!(i == 0 && j == 0) && isValidPosition(environment, y + i, x + j)) {
            int neighborElevation = environment[y + i][x + j];
            if (neighborElevation >= currentElevation) {
                isPeak = false; // If any neighbor is equal or higher, it's not a peak
            }
            if (neighborElevation <= currentElevation) {
                isValley = false; // If any neighbor is equal or lower, it's not a valley
            }
        }
    }
}

return isPeak || isValley; // Return true if it's either a peak or a valley
}




private List<int[]> checkMoves(int[][] environment, int row, int col) {
List<int[]> validMoves = new ArrayList<>();
int[][] directions = {{1, 0}, {-1, 0}, {0, 1}, {0, -1}, {1, 1}, {-1, -1}, {1, -1}, {-1, 1}};     
//          Include diagonal directions
for (int[] direction : directions) {
    int newRow = row + direction[1];
    int newCol = col + direction[0];
    if (isValidPosition(environment, newRow, newCol)) {
        validMoves.add(new int[]{newCol, newRow});
    }
}
return validMoves;
}

private boolean isValidPosition(int[][] environment, int row, int col) {
    return row >= 0 && row < environment.length && col >= 0 && col < environment[0].length;
}
}

And here is what is being output:

All though its not obvious for all of them because some are stuck in their position , you can tell by the fifth creatures position that the x and y are being swapped.

Thank you
