Final Program Requirements
You need to have the following things in the zip file that you hand in for your
final project. This is nessasary for the game to work on the arcade machine.
- Credits: Credits must access ../credits.txt in order to
get credits from the menu a basic example is Money.java. For
a full implementation also use MoneyExample.java
Keypress.java.
- Keypress: A commented keypress can be found here
which uses the proper buttons for the machine Keypress.java.
- Images: An image named black.jpg and colour.jpg must
be included and be unique images in the parent directory of
the game. The game with focus is supposed to be coloured and the other games
should be black and white or inverted colours so that
it's clear which game has focus.
Linux unlike Windows is case sensitive be aware of the case of code for loading
images and the case of image names especially extension types ie if you have
Image x=loadImage("Example.png") and the images is named example.png it will
work in Windows but not in Linux and if you have the image is for some reason
called example.PNG it won't work and the case
sensitivity will not obviously be the error if extensions are hiddem.
- High Score: Scores are intended to be implemented along with keeping track
of high scores. An example jar file along with a class which uses it can
be
found
in High
Score Example.zip
- Main: The
main class must be inside a file named useGame in order
to run. Games should close automatically after a prolonged period of idleness
at
the main menu for the game
Games must use System.exit(0); when done so that the program isn't still
running just invisibly.
- Screen Resolution: Games should be 800 x 600 unless they
change the resolution themselves, games must be in full screen exclusive
mode to do and games must
remove the
mouse
Cursor. An example of how to do a full screen exclusive mode JFrame with
no mouse and resolution changing can be found here useGame.java
- Game Info: A
file named gameInfo.txt must be included in the format of the example provided gameInfo.txt
