Read this entire project description before starting

Learning Objectives

After completing this project you should be able to:

use a Graphical User Interface (GUI)

write methods to meet specific requirements

write conditional statements with boolean expressions

write a looping construct

write programs that include the use of several classes.

Game Rules

The game requires two six-sided dice.

Players take turns until someone wins by earning at least 100 points

Players begin a turn by rolling both dice and tallying the points. The current player continues rolling and accumulating points until rolling a 1 or choosing to hold. If the player rolls a 1 then all points from this round are lost. If the player rolls a pair of 1s then all player points are lost.

Play rotates to the next player

Your game will be between a person and the computer. The player always goes first.

Step 1: Create a New BlueJ Project Project3

Step 2: Class Definition: GVdie

Rather than writing your own Die class, we are providing a completed class for you. Download the GVdie class and use the

You will not need to make any changes to the code of the GVdie class but will need to understand how to use each of the following methods:

public void roll ( ) randomly change the value of the die (1 6).

public int getValue ( ) returns the current value of the die.

Step 3: Create a class called Pig (60 pts)

Provide appropriate names and data types for each of the instance variables. Maintain two GVdie objects, players score, computers score, current round score and a final int for the winning score of 100.

public Pig ( ) a constructor that initializes all of the instance variables to appropriate values, instantiates two dice of the GVdie class and prints a welcome message.

public int getRoundScore ( ) return the current round score.

public int getPlayerScore ( ) return the players score.

public int getComputerScore ( ) return the computers score.

private void rollDice ( ) roll both dice by invoking the roll method of the GVdie class for each die. If either value is 1 then set the round score to 0. Otherwise, increment the round score by the new total. Print the round score. This method is used by both the player and the computer.

public void playerRolls ( ) performs the first half of the player turn: 1) invoke the rollDice( ) method, 2) print the players score if the round is over, or 3) print an appropriate message if the player wins. Refer to the sample output below. Set the player score to zero if double 1s are rolled.

public void playerHolds ( ) performs the second half of the players turn: 1) update the players score, 2) reset the round score to zero and 3) print the players score. Refer to the sample output below.

public void computerTurn ( ) performs the computers entire turn: continue rolling the dice and updating the round score until: 1) a 1 is rolled or 2) the round score surpasses 19 or 3) the computer wins. Use a while loop to repeatedly roll the dice. Set the computer score to zero if double 1s are rolled. Update the computers score and reset the round score to zero. Print the computers score. Refer to the sample output below.

public void restart ( ) reset all instance variables to start a new game. Do not instantiate new dice objects.

public GVdie getDie (int num) return the requested die. Legal values for the parameter are 1 or 2.

public boolean playerWon ( ) return true if the player score is currently high enough to win. Otherwise, return false.

public boolean computerWon ( ) return true if the computer score is currently high enough to win. Otherwise, return false.

Step 4: Software Testing (15 pts)

Software developers must plan from the beginning that their solution is correct. BlueJ allows you to instantiate objects and invoke individual methods. You can carefully check each method and compare actual results with expected results. However, this gets tedious. Another approach is to write methods that automatically play a game and therefore call all of the other methods. You can carefully review the results of a game to confirm that it works correctly.

public void playerTurn ( ) simulates the players entire turn: continue rolling the dice and updating the round score until a 1 is rolled or the round score surpasses 19 or if the player wins. . Set the player score to zero if double 1s are rolled. Update the players score and reset the round score to zero. Print the players score.

public void autoGame ( ) automates an entire game by alternating between a players turn and computers turn until one of them wins. Keep track and report the total number of turns taken. Report who wins. Reset all values before starting the new game.

JUnit Testing

As an alternative, JUnit is a Java library that helps to automate software testing. A JUnit test file PigTest.java has been provided on BlackBoard. See explanation of JUnit below.

1. Name your class Pig. Exact spelling is required. Using a different name will fail the tests.

2. Complete all methods described in Step 3 and Step 4.

3. Download PigTest.java to the same folder as your Pig.java

4. Restart Bluej (if PigTest does not show up on your BlueJ window). BlueJ should recognize PigTest as a <

later in the game

Step 5: Adapt for a GUI (15 pts)

Now that you have the basic game working within its own class it is time to create a more interesting graphical user interface for the player to use. Add the following methods to the Pig class.

Add a boolean instance variable to indicate if it is currently the players turn. You will need to make several changes throughout the Pig class to set this variable to true when it is the players turn and false when it is the computers turn. All games start with the player.

public boolean isPlayerTurn ( ) this one line method returns true if it is the players turn or false if it is the computers turn.

Rather than writing your own GUI class, we are providing the complete class. Download the GVdie class and use the

Make the following change to the GUI class

Change the JFrame title to include your name. See comment in the code.Sample GUI

JUnit Testing DetailsJUnit is a Java library that provides a framework to automate software testing. A JUnit test file PigTest.java has been provided by your instructor. Use the instructions at the end of this document for additional information about JUnit Testing

1. Name your class Pig. Exact spelling is required. Using a different name will cause the tests to fail.

2. Complete ALL requirements described above.

3. Download PigTest.java to the same folder as your Pig.java

4. Restart Bluej (if PigTest does not show up on your BlueJ window). BlueJ should recognize PigTest as a < 5. If the Run Tests button is not visible, go to Bluej Preferences. Under the Miscellaneous tab check the Show unit testing tools

6. On the BlueJ window, click the Run Tests button. If your class passes all the test cases, the test results window will show a green horizontal bar and zero failures.

Otherwise, you will see a red horizontal bar and the number of failures. Click on a test result to show a longer description of the failure.
