This is a practice project that improves my understanding of Java Programming, Object-oriented Programming, Software Design, Java Design Patterns and Team Work. It aims to write a whist game based on a framework called JCardGame. In the game, each player can be a human player, smart computer, naive computer or fool computer. There are Design Analysis and Static Design Diagram available to view in the report folder.
- Customise game configurations. The administrator can set up the number of cards, winning condition, level of intelligence of computer player, initial seed & if the game rule is enforced.
- Number of Java Design Patterns used, including Strategy pattern, Observer Pattern, Singleton Pattern & Factory Pattern.
- Maximised cohesion and minimised coupling.
IntelliJ/Eclipse
- navigate to the folder of whist, right-click the folder & select < open folder as IntelliJ project >.
- Click the < file > button located at the top left of the window, then select < Project Structure > from the drop-down menu.
- In the popup window, choose SDK version 15, language level < 15 - text block >, then apply and click OK.
(Avoiding the bug that may appear from using versions 16 & 17) - Double-check if < JGameGrid > library is added in the project by selecting from the left panel of the window.
- Run the game either from the button at the top of the window, or find the < main > method in Whist class and run from there
- You can config the game in the < .PROPERTIES > file, there are a few config files that already exist in the repo. The filename of the config file needs to be changed to < whist > to be effective.
