(2 points) XMahjongg is a version of the popular Mahjongg
Solitaire game that is written in C++. Here is the
source code. This program creates game boards
that
are known to be winnable. Convert the "solvable maker" routine from C++
to Java. (NOT the entire program, just this one module: solvable.cc).
(2 points) Download a Java coding style verifier such as CheckStyle or Hammurapi and
configure it to verify code for conformance to our class Coding Standard.
(3 points) Juno is a popular free
e-mail program. Write a program that will aid in converting Juno mail
folders and address book to the format used by the Mozilla browser.
(1 point) Write the java code for a board generator for Revelation9 that will always generate a "winnable" board.
(1-4 points) Implement any of these word puzzle games.
(2 points) Correct the known issues and rework the design of this Java
version of the TimeLogger
(V4.0) application.
(2 points) Convert this calendar
generator to an applet (or CGI) with appropriate HTML form fields
for user input. Display the resulting calendar in a new browser
window. Here is the competition's solution.
(2-4 points) Perform the items on the maintenance list for the Network Jeopardy application.
(4 points) Write a software simulator for a real-time medical
monitor.
The simulator will take the place of a monitor that gathers vital signs
from a patient: heart rate, blood pressure,
oxygen saturation, respiration rate.
The simulator uses statistical models to generate simulated vital
signs.
The simulator operates like a server in a client-server architecture.
The simulator pretends to simulate 1 to 10 monitors.
The server will receive requests from a client asking for the
current readings for a particular monitor.
(3 points) Write a java screensaver using the SaverBeans
API that displays a view from a web cam selected from a user supplied
list of web cam URLs. Here are some additional
directions to assist you in running the demo.
(1 points.) Write a test driver for this Natural
number class (non-negative integer). Perform complete
branch testing.
(1 point) Write an enhancement to this Natural
number class (non-negative integer) that has a constructor that
accepts an upper limit on the values of the Natural number.
(2 points) The JMetric
analyzer tool was written under a previous version of Java and doesn't
seem to run properly under JRE 1.4. Download the source and
perform the necessary maintenance to get the tool to work under JRE 1.4.
Taken (5 points.) Design and implement a solution to the Tape
Calculator problem. I expect a thoroughly decomposed design,
including separation of user interface from problem domain classes.
(2 points.) We would like to enhance the javadoc
processor so that it can recognize the tags @pre and @post when
they appear in the source code. This would make a convenient way
for the programmer to document the pre- and post-conditions for their
methods. Luckily the javadoc command is easily extended through a
facility called "doclets."
Write a doclet to add the desired tags to our javadoc output. In
addition, we would like to add a new command line parameter to the
javadoc command, "-nodetails," that causes the output to
include only the field, constructor, and method summaries, not the
details. Here is the standard doclet source code index.
(2 points.) (Taken) Implement a variation to Game2D.
This version is a solitaire game (instead of multi-player like the
original). The player is playing against the computer who initially
displays dots once a second. Every ten seconds the rate of dots
appearing is increased by one tenth of a second. Eventually the dots
will appear too rapidly for the player to keep up, but the goal is to
play as long as possible. The server is to be modified to allow up to
20 solitaire players to engage in simultaneous games.
Taken (2 points.) Write a text user interface for the hangman
game to substitute for the GUI in the original version. Use the
existing
board class provided.
(? points) There exists on the Internet a database of audio compact discs that can be queried by an application program to determine the songs and playing times on any CD. Here is an example CD contents. In order to use the database your application must determine the Disc ID given a CD. The algorithm for this computation is given at freedb.org. There are also several example implementations, one in MFC and one in Pascal. For this assignment write a Java implementation of the Disc ID algorithm.
(4 points) Create a "software project control panel" like the one
described in Norm Brown's article.
(4 points) Mozilla needs a simple graphical front end to modify key
bindings.
(3 points) Create a web-based database of PSP project summary data. It should allow the user to enter time and defect data from their PSP forms and perform the calculations for the project summary.
(1 point) Create a random number "spinner" applet. It should
display a graphic of a spinner similar to that used in many board games
for determining number of spaces to move. The default should be a
spinner with numbers 1 to 6, but an input field should allow the user
to specify a different upper limit. A "spin" button shows the
spinner animated and the resulting random number.
(1 point) Identify and repair the defects in Dr. Dalbey's
Random Spinner web applet.
