Assignment Scope
- Update classes due to changing requirements
- Adding fields to enumerations
- Add methods to classes to accomplish specific tasks
- Begin developing the front end, or User Interface, portion of the Euchre game. Based on my professional experience working in the industry I have always had to develop a UI for every application, therefore I translate that experience to students so they can have the same opportunity and be prepared professionally.
- Typically, there is a one-to-one correlation of back end functionality to front end UI component. Depending upon the design of the application it doesnt always correlate perfectly, however with Euchre, it works well.
| Back-end functionality | Front-end UI component |
| AiPlayer.java | AiPlayerUi.java |
| Card.java | CardUi.java |
| Game.java | GameUi.java |
| HumanPlayer.java | HumanPlayerUi.java |
- The goal is to develop the front-end components of the game Euchre by creating classes:
- java
- java
- java
- Students will also begin to learn writing simple ActionListeners or Event Handlers.
- The UI will be developed in multiple assignments, it is not expected that for Assignment 7 the fully functioning UI is complete.
The image that follows is a prototype of what the UI will look like. It does not have to be an exact match. The rubric will provide guidance and recommendations on how to accomplish this, however feel free to be creative in developing the look and feel of the UI.

Deliverables
To complete this assignment you must submit your compressed Netbeans project to Webcourses.
Please keep in mind that the tasks are guidance to accomplish the goals of the assignment. At times students will be required to do additional research (e.g. Google That S**T (GTS)!) to find implementation options. In the industry, software engineers are expected to be very self-sufficient to find the best solution for the task at hand.
I have provided multiple code examples on Webcourses that shows how to implement numerous of the tasks below, please reference those code examples prior to asking me for help!

Create a local variable of type int representing the current position in the ArrayList of member variable hand, initialize it to zero (0)ii. Instantiate and instance of class Card (reference as firstCard) set equal to the first element in the ArrayList of member variable hand (hint: use the .get() method of class ArrayList)iii. Using a for loop, starting at index 1, loop through the size of member variable ArrayList hand to do the following:1. Instantiate an instance of class Card (reference as nextCard) set equal to the next element in the ArrayList hand (i.e. index 1)2. Write an if statement to sort the cards based on suit and face value ranking with the following logic:a. If the suits rank of the nextCard in the hand is less than the suits rank of the firstCard in the handb. ORi. The suit of the nextCard is equal to the suit of the firstCardii. ANDiii. The face value of the nextCard in the hand is less than the face value of the firstCard in the hand1. Update local variable position to equal the for loops looping variable2. Set the firstCard equal to the nextCardiv. Remove from the member variable hand the card at the current position (hint: on member variable hand call method remove() passing the argument defined in step i.)v. Add the instance represented as firstCard to the local ArrayList that represents the sorted hand created in step a.c. Set member variable hand equal to the local ArrayList that represents the sorted hand. | |||
