Overview

To establish a basic familiarity with the Java API (Swing and AWT packages) for creating graphical user interface (GUI) and handling events related to GUI. Students should apply the appropriate Java programming fundamentals, object-oriented, GUI and event handling concepts that they have learnt to solve the given problem.

Objectives

On completion of this assignment a student should be able to write a GUI application that:

  • Makes use of Java API "Swing" and "AWT" packages
  • Handles generated events
  • Makes use of layout manager to organize the GUI components
  • Comprises classes designed based on object-oriented concepts
  • Makes use of Java programming fundamentals

Scope

This assignment is based on individual effort. You are required to enhance the one player Java game application "Blackjack" done in Assignment 1 with Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Besides providing the required functionalities, your program should incorporate appropriate error handling. Comments are also to be inserted to improve program clarity. Before you start coding your program, you are strongly advised to carry out proper problem analysis and program design. You are required to use JDK 1.5 developer version or later.

Requirements

There are two modules in this program; Administration and Game Play module

Administration Module

Admin Login This dialogue box allows the admin to login to the system.

Admin Main menu Upon successful login, the administrator will be presented with the main menu. The administrator can then select the required task from the menu by clicking on the button.

You are to design the appropriate window dialogue box and screen based on the requirement for each task.
