Card Drop

There are many ways to design a solution to this problem but you are evaluated on meeting the specific specifications as given.

1. Use proper statement indentation and meaningful variable names in the code.

2. Place a multi-line Javadoc comment giving a description of this application and the rules of the game. Include your name and the date with the description. Also include descriptive Javadoc comments for each class and method in the project.

3. Output spacing, formatting, and spelling are to match the example output illustrated above, but of course the user input can be different.

4. Add a meaningful comment for every statement explaining why the statement is in the code.

5. Generate Javadoc html files.

6. Create a class to create objects to be used in this application. Name the class Player with only these instance variables:

• String first name
• String last name
• int number of Yellows
• int[] stored value of each drop

7. Create and use, as necessary, getter and setter methods for the instance variables.

8. Create and use a Player constructor that has the first and last names as the only two parameters.

9. Use the Console class (or a modified version) given in chapter 7 in this application.

10. Use a LinkedList or ArrayList in the application to store Player objects.

11. Use arrays as needed.

12. The value of the dropped card is determined randomly.

13. To limit the number of parameters to pass between methods use static fields only to declare the Scanner and List used in the application. Do not declare any other static fields.

14. Create and use an Enumeration to store the constant for YELLOWS and REDS. Include and use a toString() method to display the constants as illustrated in the example output.

15. Place the Enumeration, the Console class, and the class with the main method in a package named PPQ2App. Place the Player class in a package named Business. These should be the only classes in the project.

16. Validate the data so only acceptable values will be processed (3 points). If the user enters invalid data, the application should display the appropriate error message and prompt the user again until the user enters valid data. See example output above.

17. The application must contain and implement these five methods. Name them as indicated. The functionality each method will perform in the application is summarized below.

• main method- This method will declare and initialize necessary entities and control execution of the code. Anything not handled is the other methods will be accomplished by the main method.
• playerInput method - This method will prompt and accept the user's response to the Player's name prompts and create a Player object and add it to the List.
• dropCard method- This method will provide each player with a prompt to drop the card. It will print Yellow or Red depending on the drop of the card. 1 will represent Yellow and 2 will represent Red. It will also populate the drops in the Player object.
• determineWinner method - This method will determine the number of Yellows for each player and set the number of Yellows in the Player object.
• displayResults method - This method will determine which player has the most Yellows. See example output for appropriate display.

Example Output

Welcome to the Game
Here is how the game is played:

Each of two players drop a card a number of times.
Whatever side the card lands on is stored.
After both players have dropped the card a user-defined number of times
the player with the most Yellows is the winner.
If both players have the same number of Yellows, it is a tie.
The number of drops must be greater than 1 and less than or equal to 25:

How many times should each player drop the card? 222
Error! Number must be less than 26.
How many times should each player drop the card? 25
