Creating An Additional Class for a Monopoly Game

Section 4 of chapter 9 described the BoardSquare class, a class representing a collection of objects for squares on a monopoly board. The NetBeans project Monopoly included with the files for this chapter, has that class and a public class named Monopoly with an executable main method.

Your task is to complete the programming exercise at the end of chapter 9 by adding a player class object to the program.

The class discussion for this week is about this project. You may work with other students and communicate about the project through the class discussion, through email, or by meeting in person, The Conference Feature in Canvas, to discuss the design and programming for this project, but each person should do his or her own work, writing his or her own code. You must participate in the class discussion. If you choose to work on this assignment with another person in the class as a team, your lab report should indicate who you worked with.

Remember, this is the first part in building a Monopoly game in Java so we are only testing the player class object moving around the board interacting with the BoardSquare class. Things like picking a card if the player lands on Chance, buying and selling properties,collecting $200 for passing Go, and so on, are not part of this project. In a real development situation, those things would be added in another phase of the project once the BoardSquare and Player objects work properly. Graphics (and sound) would also be added later. Dont get carried away with fancy features at this point and make the assignment harder than it needs to be. You only need to advance the player around the monopoly board one time

PLEASE DO NOT COPY AND PASTE ANSWERS FROM OTHER CHEGG Q&A'S BECAUSE THEY ARE WRONG!!!!! GOD HELP ME IF YOU JUST COPY AND PASTE THE SAME ANSWER AS THE LAST TWO QUESTIONS LIKE THIS, BOTH ARE WRONG SO DONT WASTE MY TIME OR I WILL PERSURE THAT REFUND.
