COMP 14 Spring 2004

Description

• Design and implement an application that plays the Rock-Paper-Scissors-Spock-Lizard game (a slight variation of the standard Rock-Paper-Scissors game) against the computer.
• When played between two people, each person picks one of five options (usually shown by a hand gesture) at the same time, and a winner is determined.
• Rock or Spock beats Scissors
• Scissors or Lizard beats Paper
• Paper or Spock beats Rock
• Paper or Lizard beats Spock
• Rock or Scissors beats Lizard

• When the user makes a selection, the computer should make a radom selection, update the GUI accordingly.
• At that point, the program reveals both choices and displays a statement indicating if the user won, the computer won, or if it was a tie.
• The user will stop by clicking the exit button.
• Look at OddsEvens.java for how I want the game to play.  There should at least be fields that show:
          the user's selection, the computer's selection, the winner of the round, the number of rounds played, the user's score, the computer's
          score, and the number of ties.

The Kicker...

What to Turn in

• Your prog3_onyen.jar file (where onyen is your Onyen), which includes your RockPaperScissors.java source file
• short write-up of questions you had and/or problems you encountered while doing this assignment

• Follow the directions for completing programming assignments.
• Name your Java source file RockPaperScissors.java and your class RockPaperScissors.

When the TA runs/examines your program, it must satisfy the following requirements. The maximum point value for each is shown in brackets.

1. [5] Your Java source file, class, and Jar file must be appropriately named (as specified above).
2. [15] The GUI should be set up in an intuitive fashion, the labels saying relevant things, the buttons correctly labeled, etc.
3. [10] You should have all the buttons and labels, and text fields required for someone to understand who doesn't already know the program.
4. [20] Upon the user pressing a button, all the relevant text fields should be updated.  For reference, play the OddsEvens.java game.
5. [10] You must use meaningful variable names, which conform to the style guidelines and Java naming convention discussed in class.
6. [15] You must comment your code, including block-like multi-line comments and single-line comments where appropriate. In addition, your code must be neatly and clearly formatted using appropriate "white space."

• If your program doesn't compile or run (i.e., has a syntax error), you will receive 0 credit for the items listed above in bold (so at most 30/75 points). These requirements all involve reading input from and writing output to the user.
• Remember that an implicit requirement for all assignments is that your code must include (at the top) the standard program header with pledge, and your signed pledge must be on file.
