CSc 305 Project 1

Due Apr 14 2008 11:59 pm

MaxIt is a two player board game. The board is represented as an 5 by 5 grid of randomly placed numbers (placed at the start of each game).  The values in the board range from 1 to 30.  The players alternate turns. At each turn the player must select a square in the current row or column. The value in the square at the selected position is added to the player's score and that position becomes the current position and cannot be selected again. Players alternate turns until all squares in the current row and column are already selected, at which point the game is over and the player with the highest score wins. 

The initial board shows that all squares are valid moves.  The current scores are shown at the top.

For his first move, Player One selected 24 so now the 3rd row and 2nd column are current.  The legal moves are shown in larger, bold text.

You are to create a computer solitaire version of Maxit where the player competes against a computer opponent.

Your program will use a simple text user interface.   The game board is shown as a table.
(You may use tab characters to provide horizontal spacing between columns).
The player scores will be shown on a single line, and the rows and columns will be numbered sequentially.  
The player enters their move as a row and column pair (row first, then column, separated by one or more spaces).

Once a square has been selected, the value is changed to zero.
On all moves except the first move, asterisks appear in the row and column to indicate the current move.

Game Over! Player 1 Wins

When the game is over, indicate who won, or "Draw Game" if both players have the same score.

The computer opponent should move randomly.

Assignment Submission

  1. Follow the PSP script. Use only a text editor for the coding phase. Use only the BlueJ IDE with the CompileLogger extension for the compile and test phases.
  2. Make sure your source code passes CheckStyle. (You're allowed 5 violations per 1000 lines of code.)
  3. Print your source code using 10 point monospaced font.  You will probably have multiple classes; place the class with the main method in front.  (If it follows the coding standard the @author tag with your name will be near the top).
  4. Perform two test executions of the application: once when the human wins and once when the computer wins. Have the first execution also demonstrate  that the program responds correctly to invalid moves.  Capture the output from the test runs using the Unix "script" command as shown in lab.
  5. Print the test runs using 10 point monospaced font.
  6. Copy of completed Time Recording Log, Defect Tally form, and Project Summary form.
  7. Staple the printouts together with the PSP forms on top, then the source code, then the test runs.
  8. Submit your work to the table in front of the classroom on the first class meeting after the due date.

  9. Login to vogon.csc.calpoly.edu using the Secure Shell Client program (or your favorite equivalent).
  10. Change to the directory containing the source code  for your program.  (Be sure the only java files are those for your project submission).
  11. Use the following handin command
              handin  graderjd  Project1  *.java
