CSCI 201 Spring 2004

Programming Project 4

Project Description

In this assignment, you will work a modification of problem 4.13 on page 267 of your text. Your job is to enhance the display produced by the Lineup applet by adding hair to the stick figures such as demonstrated in the screen capture below.

You are allowed a great deal of creative freedom in producing this enhancement, and you are encouraged to make other enhancements as well, but to receive full credit for this assignment, you must satisfy the following 2 requirements:

• You much create and use a Head class in your program. This class must implement any enhancements that you make to the stick figure's head and hair. The Head class used to produce the display above allows the user to specify any one of 3 different hair styles. As a minimum, your Head class must allow the user to choose between 2 different hair styles.
• Your LineUp applet must display at least 2 different hair styles.

Getting Started

• Begin by downloading the code provided in listing 4.15 of your text: LineUp.java, LineUp.html and StickFigure.java.
• After you have run the code and understood how it works, write a Head class that can be used to create the head of each stick figure. Begin by removing the code that creates the head from StickFigure.java and placing it in your new Head class. Make sure that you can recreate the heads of each stick figure using your new Head class.
• Modify your head class to draw one hair style and test it. After completing one hair style, add at least one additional hair style and include both hair styles in your LineUp display. Add additional features to your stick figure if you desire, but all additional features must be included in one of the three existing classes: LineUp.java, StickFigure.java, or Head.java.

Programming Style

Note that 10% of your program grade is based on the readability of your program. This includes things like proper indentation, comments, and the naming of variables and methods. To receive full credit for your program, make sure that you use proper indentation as demonstrated in your text and in class room examples. Also include a comment at the top of each program stating your name, the course, and the purpose of the program:

Submitting Your Program

The program written for this assignment must be turned in by placing the java source code files and the HTML file in the follow directory in your linux account: csci/201/Lineup. All source code files (i.e., LineUp.java, StickFigure.java and Head.java) and the HTML file (LineUp.html) should be turned in, and the files must have exactly those names. This project is due by midnight of April 14th.
