Purpose:

Your Challenge: Create A Game

Design a game from scratch. You may use some of the code from the game in chapter 4 as an example, but your game should not be just a simple extension of that code.
Possible game ideas: tetris, pacman, 3D tic-tac-toe. Some examples from previous semesters will be shown in class.
Your game should include:
- A splash screen with the rules
- a visual layout
- some interaction with the graphical objects
- some way of determining the outcome (did you win?).
Your program should include at least one abstract class, interface or design pattern.

Part I: The Design (5 Points)

DUE: April 20, in class
Should include a brief description of the game, in paragraph format
Should include at least one diagrammatic form of design, such as UML diagram, sequence diagram, use case diagram or state transition diagram.
NOTE: You don't have to wait until after you turn in the design to start programming!!

Part II: The Program (30 Points)

DUE: April 30, midnight
Turn in: all .java files
Use javadoc style comments for at least one of your classes. NOTE: Eclipse can help with this task.
Either:

Create an html file describing how you solved 1 or 2 programming challenges (if you can't think of any, then your project was not difficult enough). This document should include a link to the html file create by javadoc for your primary class (or possibly two classes). If you used a design pattern in your program, include a brief paragraph that indicates which pattern (or patterns) you used and where/how you used them.

Embed your game in an html file so that it would work as a potential Game Girl module. You may need to package your game in a jar file and sign it (e.g., if it loads any images from disk).
NOTE: Choosing this option is implied permission for us to use and extend your code in the future. Thanks for your contribution to our outreach efforts! You may want to visit the Computer Club 4 Girls at http://www.cc4g.net/
