ArrayOutof Bounds Exception in MyState when less than 3 obstacles are left in State

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run the simulation with spaceships that fire at obstacles
2. Wait until less than 2 obstacles remain
3. Program should then hang and produce error message.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using the latest version of spacewar on Windows XP.

Please provide any additional information below.
The problem seems to be in myState because there is a for loop that checks
the distances to obstacles and it always looks for 3 obstacles no matter
how many obstacles are in the simulation.  Since the asteroid destruction
and splitting reduction was implemented, it is now possible to eliminate
most of the asteroids within the five-minute running time of the game.  To
fix this, the only thing that needs to be done is having the
obstacles.length being compared with 3 and using obstacles.length if it is
less than 3.

Also, please cc: jfager on any new issues that are opened!  Thank you!

Thank you,
David John Gagne II

Where is MyState.java coming from?  That doesn't exist in the spacewar codebase.

It is code for Project 2 in Dr. McGovern's AI class that we were given 
separately. 
It isn't in the main codebase but was provided by her, and she told me to post 
the
bug on the code page when I contacted her about it.

Assigning to Dr. McGovern; I don't have access to this code.

I thought we had decided the final answer to this was that the students needed 
to change MyState anyway so the 
bug fix was not going up?  If this is still an issue, let me know.
