Instructions

Time Allowed: 2 hours

Upload your completed CardGame.java and Player.java file to moodle. You have been provided with start files. No changes should be made to Card.java. Player.java should only be changed to complete the toString and the checkForAceOfHearts methods. Make certain that the code you submit compiles. Code containing compilation errors may attract zero marks. NB Make certain you upload the correct files. This assessment is open book.

Code should be well formatted – i.e correct indentation, placing of curly brackets...

Make a new package called com.ait.cards.
Add classes Card.java, CardGame.java and Player.java to the newly created package. Start files provided.

Application

A "standard" deck of playing cards consists of 52 cards in each of the 4 suits Spades (S), Hearts (H), Diamonds (D) and Clubs (C). Each suit contains 13 cards: Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen and King.

Complete the method loadCardArray so that it uses for loops and the suit and rank arrays to initialise the cards array, one suit at a time, by creating card objects for all 52 cards. Each card has a rank and suit corresponding to the values in the suit and rank arrays. (Ace-H, 2-H, .....King-H, Ace-C, 2-C, ......King-C, Ace-S, 2-S, ....King-S, Ace-D, 2-D, ......King-D). Call the loadCardArray method from main().
Complete the method printCardArray to print the cards in the array. Print each suit on a separate line by processing the cards array in 4 groups of 13 cards each. Separate the cards in each suit by a space and a comma as shown. Call the printCardArray method from main().

Console Output:
Loading Card Array...
Printing the initialised Card Array.....
Ace-H, 2-H, 3-H, 4-H, 5-H, 6-H, 7-H, 8-H, 9-H, 10-H, Jack-H, Queen-H, King-H
Ace-C, 2-C, 3-C, 4-C, 5-C, 6-C, 7-C, 8-C, 9-C, 10-C, Jack-C, Queen-C, King-C
Ace-S, 2-S, 3-S, 4-S, 5-S, 6-S, 7-S, 8-S, 9-S, 10-S, Jack-S, Queen-S, King-S
Ace-D, 2-D, 3-D, 4-D, 5-D, 6-D, 7-D, 8-D, 9-D, 10-D, Jack-D, Queen-D, King-D .... Printing Card Array after initialisation

Complete the method addPlayers that allows the user to add an arbitrary number of players by entering the players' names. For each player added, create a Player object and add it to the players ArrayList. When the user has finished adding players, print out a list of the players that have been added as shown. Call the addPlayers method from main(). You can make the assumption that there will never be more than 10 players, but no need to check this in the code.

Console Output:

The method shuffleCards() shuffles the deck of cards. This method has been provided. Call the shuffleCards method from main(). Print out the shuffled card array using the printCardArray method.
Complete the method dealHands(). A hand is an array of five cards. Initialise a hand of cards for each player in turn by giving them the first 5 cards from the shuffled deck. That is, the first player gets the first five cards, the next player gets the next five and so on. Use the method setHand to pass the hand of cards to the player object.
Complete the showHands() method. The method should loop through the players ArrayList and call the toString method on each Player that shows the hand for each player. toString method needs to be completed in Player.java.

Console Output:
Dealing Cards...
Showing hands of cards for each player
Hand of cards for John is 10-C 3-C 9-D Queen-S 7-S
Hand of cards for Tom is 4-C 8-D King-H 5-D 7-C
Hand of cards for Patricia is Jack-S 9-S 2-C 6-C 7-D

Complete the checkForWinner() method and call it from main(). The winner is the player that has the "Ace of Hearts". The method checkForAceOfHearts (to be completed) can be used to check if a player has the "Ace of Hearts". If no player has the "Ace of Hearts", there is no winner.

Console Output (Example 1):
Dealing Cards...
Showing hands of cards for each player
Hand of cards for John is 10-C 3-C 9-D Queen-S 7-S
Hand of cards for Tom is 4-C 8-D King-H 5-D 7-C
Hand of cards for Patricia is Jack-S 9-S 2-C 6-C 7-D
Has anybody got the Ace of Hearts?
No winner
