CODE IN JAVA

Ok, here we go. Things are going to get serious now!

We've got a Knight, let's fight this knight.

A use case is a commonly utilized tool in software engineering. In essence, it is a description of the interaction between a user and the software to achieve a goal. This description is expressed as a set of steps used to achieve the goal. Let's have a look at our use case for Assignment 4.

The user runs the software program, which warmly welcomes the user to Knight Fight.

The user is asked for the Knight's name, which is entered with the keyboard.

The user is asked what weapon this Knight will use, which is entered with the keyboard.

The user is asked for a preference: auto-generate the opponent or manually generate an opponent.

(a) If the user responds yes, the software will auto-generate the knight's opponent with randomized attributes.

(b) If the user responds no, the user is able to define the name and weapon type of the opponent.

The software will now give each Knight a random number of hit points.

The software now displays a brief summary of each Knight, showing the name, weapon, and hit points.

The software asks the user to press any key when they are ready to begin OR takes a y/n answer to start or exit.

Upon receiving the key, the software randomly chooses which Knight shall begin combat.

Each Knight attacks in turn with their chosen weapon, which deals a random amount of damage based upon the weapon type.

The damage dealt is subtracted from the hit points of the opposing Knight.

A brief summary of each round is displayed to the user.

Once a knight's hit points are reduced to zero or less, the fight ends with the Knight with hit points remaining declared the winner.

An acceptable display: Welcome to Knight Fight! Enter the name of your Knight: Bob Now select your weapon! (Choose number) 1) Long Sword 2) Battle Axe 3) Spear 4) Warhammer Your choice my liege? : 3 Would you like to auto generate your opponent? (y|n)

Acceptance Criteria

1) Two constructors for the Knight class, one for an auto-generated Knight and another for the user-defined Knight.

2) A switch statement must be used to determine weapon selected. Those using Java 7 or higher may use a String to determine their case selected.

3) The Java Random class must be used where any random element is required.

4) You may use a simple GUI or the console. Do not let yourself get bogged down in GUI building, this assignment is designed to test your usage of the logic components of the Java language.

5) The Knight class will have a toString() method to display all attributes, a fight() method to determine damage, and setters/getters for all instance variables.

6) Deliverables are the Knight class and the KnightDriver class.

7) Allow the user to restart the game without exiting the program.

8) Give each Knight an armor type and alter the damage amounts based upon weapon type vs armor type. (ie blades do more against leather and less against metal)

Hint: A semaphore in a while statement could be useful to alternate actions.
