Memory Matching Game

• Using Java Swing
• Write a GUI version of a card matching game using the swing package.

Your program should have 4 rows and 4 columns of cards that have an image that is hidden when the cards are face down. (Note: The cards can have another image facing up like a real deck has on the back)

• The game is played by clicking on two cards which are face down. If they match, they stay visible.
• If they don't match, they will need to be flipped back face down before choosing another card.
• There should be a "Continue" button which flips back two non-matching cards.
• If you click on a "face up" card, it should just be ignored.
• The "Continue" button should not flip cards when only one has been flipped up. It should only flip cards to the hidden side if there are two non-matching cards turned up.
• The number of attempts and the number of matches should be counted and displayed per game.
• An attempt is incremented when 2 cards have been flipped up, regardless of match/mismatch.
• The score is calculated as attempts/matches. (Keep in mind division by zero)
• When the user chooses to end the game, they should be asked to confirm their choice.
• If they say YES, they should see a sentence that uses their score to assess the player's memorizing ability before the program exits.

The game will need at least the following:

• A 2 Dimensional Board of Cards
• Labels to display Status, Matches, Attempts, Score
• JButtons:
  • One to flip the cards back over so their matchable images are hidden
  • One to end the game. (Remember to confirm the choice before exiting)
  • Create and use Card class that extends the JButton class. It should have at least the following:
• Instance variables:
  • ImageIcon imageIcon
  • String imagePath
• Constructors:
  • Default
  • Overloaded Constructor that takes in the imagePath as a String
• Methods:
  • hideCard()
  • showCard()
  • equals(Object o)

Syntax Hint For creating a scaled image that will load fast and fit on your Card:

ImageIcon ic_reg = new ImageIcon("images/myImage.png");
ImageIcon ic_logo = new ImageIcon(((Image) ic_reg.getImage()).getScaledInstance(70, 70, Image.SCALE_FAST));

To set the ImageIcon on a JButton object just call the setIcon method and pass in the name of the ImageIcon object you created.

Score conditions to be used for the end of game status:

score > 97 AMAZING
score > 80 Excellent
score > 60 OK
score > 30 lacking
score >10 suffering
Score >=0 Mind has escaped
