Assignment Scope
For this assignment students will begin developing the front end, or User Interface, portion of the MasterMind 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 MasterMind, it works well.
Back-end functionality | Front-end UI component |
Codemaker.java | CodemakerUi.java |
Codebreaker.java | CodebreakerUi.java |
Game.java | MasterMindUi.java |
The goal is to develop the front-end components of the game MasterMind by creating classes:
CodebreakerUi.java
CodemakerUi.java
MasterMindUi.java
Students will integrate completed classes into their existing project.
Students will add an image icon to a JLabel.
The UI will be developed in multiple assignments, it is not expected that for Assignment 5 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.
To accomplish this:
Reference the tasks below for the specifics of the source code requirements.
Compress a project and submit to Webcourses
Decompress compressed project and verify it is a Netbeans project
References
Netbeans.docx
Setting up a project in Netbeans.docx
Netbeans right click menu help.docx
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.
