Assignment Scope

For this assignment the goal is to simulate the foundation of the components of the game MasterMind by creating a Codemaker, Codebreaker, and the Game; this includes:

Set up constants, which are used for clarity, safety and consistency throughout a project.

Establish the method signatures (i.e. methods that must be implemented in the classes) for the interfaces ICodemaker, ICodebreaker, and IGame.

Establish the member variables for the classes to replicate the real game, write custom constructors, generate getters/setters for the member variables, instantiate instances of classes, write a simple method to randomly generate the secret code in the Codemaker class.

To accomplish this, write the follow source code:

Create constants using public static final

Using Java API classes Arrays, ArrayList, Color, HashSet, Random and Set

Update the interfaces to include method signatures

Updating the classes to include

Member variables

Getters/setters for member variables

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*** (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.

Tasks and Rubric

Activity
MasterMind project
MasterMind class	Method main() should: Instantiate an instance of class Game
Constants
Constants class	Create constants by declaring them as public static final: public static final ArrayList codeColors = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(Color.BLUE, Color.BLACK, Color.ORANGE, Color.WHITE, Color.YELLOW, Color.RED, Color.GREEN, Color.PINK)); ArrayList responseColors = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(Color.RED, Color.WHITE)); int MAX_ATTEMPTS = 10; int MAX_PEGS = 4; int COLORS = 8;
core package
Codebreaker class	Member variables ArrayList codebreakerAttempt Getter/setter for member variables Custom constructor Empty parameter list Instantiates the member variable Implements ICodebreaker interface method public void checkCode(ArrayList attempt)
Codemaker class	Member variables Set secretCode ArrayList codemakerResponse Getter/setter for member variables Custom constructor Empty parameter list Instantiates the member variables i.Member variable secretCode should be instantiated as an instance of class HashSet() ii.Member variable codemakerResponse should be instantiated as an instance of class ArrayList() Calls method generateSecretCode() Implements ICodemaker interface methods public void generateSecretCode() public void checkAttemptedCode() Method generateSecretCode() a.Instantiate and instance of Java API class Random b.Loop until four of the eight colors have been randomly selected to be the secret code with no duplicates (hint: member variable secretCode is of type Set which automatically does not allow for duplicates) i.Use the method .nextInt() in class Random to select an index into the Constants.codeColors ArrayList, pass the ArrayList as an argument to the method call ii.Create an instance of Java API class Color and set it equal to the color stored at the index of the Constants.codeColors ArrayList by calling the get() method in class ArrayList passing the int from step i. above as an argument iii.Add the selected color to the Set member variable by calling method .add in class Set passing the Color object from step ii. above as and argument c.Use an enhanced for loop to output the generated secret code
Game class	Member variables int attempt Codebreaker codebreaker Codemaker codemaker Getter/setter for member variables Custom constructor Empty parameter list Instantiates the member variables Implements IGame interface methods a.public void play()
ICodebreaker interface	Add method signatures public void checkCode(ArrayList attempt)
ICodemaker interface	Add method signatures public void generateSecretCode() public void checkAttemptedCode()
IGame interface	Add method signatures public void play()
userInterface package
MasterMindUi class
MasterMind application
Test Case 1	Test Case 1 passes
	Source compiles with no errors
	Source runs with no errors
	Source includes comments

Perform the following test cases

Test Cases
	Action	Expected outcome
Test Case 1	Run application	The console window should be similar to figure 1 Java does NOT automatically translate its Color objects to a String value, rather it prints the RGB code of the color.

Output:

Welcome to MasterMind! generated the secret code! java . awt . Color [r=255, g=175,b=175] java . awt Color [r=0, g=0,b=255] java.airt.color [r=2 55, g=, b#0] BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)
