For example, this line here:
private CrystalBall mCrystallBall = new CrystalBall();
Why exist the "m" before CrystalBall?

42,016 Pointsthat doesn't seem right. it looks like it may have been myCrystalBall, which would make more sense
Regardless, that mCrystalBall is simply the name of an object of type CystalBall. it could have been named anything ie
private CrystalBall someRandomName = new CrystalBall();
and you would then use that name whenever you wanted to reference that specific object
