Introduction: You are asked to write a graphical user interface (GUI) for a multiple choice question (MCQ) program. A series of questions will be presented to the user; with each question, four possible answers are also presented. One of the answers will
be correct, and the other three answers will be incorrect.
TASK 1 Basic Interface [28 marks]
The basic interface must be divided into 3 parts: a top, middle, and bottom.
Figure 1
shows the expected look of the interface:
Figure 1
A question will be displayed at the top of the interface.
In the middle of the interface, the four choices for the answer are displayed. For each question, there will be one and only one correct answer. Clicking on the correct answer
will increase the users score by 1 point.

At the bottom of the interface, the number of correct answers given so far will be displayed. Next to the score will be a reset button which restarts the multiple choice
questions, setting the score to zero.
On the interface you might like to also display the total number of questions in the quiz.
TASK 2 Interface with Multiple Attempts [5 marks]
Typically with multiple choice questions, you only have one attempt at each question.
The extended application must still provide the functionality developed for TASK 1. TASK 3 Choice of EASY, MEDIUM and DIFFICULT questions [5 marks]
Note: You are provided with a text file (called sampleQandA.txt) containing some sample questions and answers (including an indication of which answer is correct for
each question). You must decide how best to use this data in your application1.
In this extension of the original application, the user taking the multiple choice test is
allowed multiple attempts.
On the first attempt, if they are correct they score 2 points. If they are incorrect, they
have another attempt, which if correct will score 1 point.
A way to allow users to have up to 2 attempts to answer question needs to be
implemented. This could be from the command line, or via the GUI.
In this extension of the application, a set of radio buttons allows the user to choose
the level of the questions.
There should be three radio buttons allowing the options easy, medium, and difficult. Easy questions score 1 point, medium questions score 2 points, and difficult
questions score 3 points.
The extended application must still provide the functionality developed for TASK 1 and
TASK 2.
Documentation [12 marks]
Your submitted work must include:
a. AutomaticallygeneratedJavadocfiles.
b. Comments (both internal and Javadocs) in your code. c.
Note: All documentation files must be placed in a directory called Documentation. 1 For example, a possible (though not the only one) solution could be for the list of
questions and answers to be a variable in your application. 2 Accepted document formats include: .txt, .docx and .pdf.
User Manual; this should be a document2 with no more than two A4 pages which
must include instructions on how
to run the program (i.e. both how to start it, and
how to use it).

Submission Instructions
1. 2.
3.

IMPORTANT: This is an individual piece of assessed coursework; therefore, students must not work in groups and must not share code solutions.
a clearly laid out interface,
clearly structured code including comments and sensible variable, class, and
method names.
Note: The main program file must be called MultipleChoiceGui.java, and it must compile and run from the command line; otherwise, it will not be possible to give marks
for any implemented functionality.
You must zip all the following files:
The Code directory, including all .java files produced3.
The Files directory, including any text files used to communicate with the
application.
The Documentation directory, including all Javadoc comments and the User
Manual.
Notes:
You must name your .zip file 201721xxxx.zip, where 201721xxxx is your BUPT
student number.
You must submit your .zip file to the EBU4201 course area in QMplus4, under the
assignment activity Mini-Project (submission).
3 It will not be possible to mark your work, if you only provide .class files. 4 Any work sent via email will be ignored and not marked.
