Secret Number

Create a new project within Eclipse using your own name as its title e.g. “firstname_lastname_ca2”. This program will be based on the concept of a “Guessing Game” using an Applet that runs in a web browser. The Applet should do the following:

• Open with two buttons – “Begin Game” and “Answer”. Background should be red. A label should be set to the right of both buttons initially displaying “Click „Begin‟ to start the game”.
• The Secret Number should be: 8

Three Incorrect Guesses and You‟re Out

• When the user clicks the “Begin Game” button, an input dialog box should request a guess from the user. If the guess is incorrect, a white rectangular box displays text informing the user “Incorrect, try again!” The button text changes to “Guess 2”. The label changes to “You Guessed: 12” (for example)”. This process continues until the user reaches the third guess.
• When the user clicks the “Guess: 3” button, an input dialog box should request a guess from the user. If the guess is incorrect, a white rectangular box displays text informing the user “Incorrect, try again!”. A dialog box appears stating “You are out of Guesses”. The button text changes to “Play Again?”The label changes to “You Guessed: 18” (for example)”. Clicking the “Play Again” button restarts the game and allows the user a further three guesses.

Within a Range of Two

• If the user comes within a range of “2” of the secret number, a white oval displays text informing the user “Your guess is 2 +/- the secret number!”

Correct Guess

• If at any point, the user enters 8 (the secret number), the background turns green, the label displays “You Guessed: 8” and a message dialog box informs the user “Congratulations, you guessed correctly!” The applet ceases executing.

Answer button

• Clicking the “Answer” button simply displays – “The Secret Number is 8”. The applet then ceases execution.
