A little bit of background; I'm a high school student in my junior year and I attended a tech competition last year when I enrolled in my high school's CS I course. Below is what I submitted to the competition and even though I won in my category, I remember the judges telling me that I could do better by implementing more OOP design and seperate my program into serveral methods/classes.
I don't have much experience with this however, and we are mostly doing review over Java this year in my AP CS course than actually learning new things. Below is my code, and I'd be so thankful if I could get some advice on how to improve it and more specifically, implement methods/classes than having one giant, 900 line class.
