Card Game Challenge (Further Java Workshop 4 – TEAM SKYWALKER)

The fourth “workshop” for the Further Java unit is the card game exercise.

This activity should be done in pairs and you will need to notify Paul of your pair allocations before starting (or you will not be eligible for the marks!)

To be eligible for this workshop, you must have more than 30 NoobLab points on the second Java unit, and 65 NoobLab points on the first Java unit. If you do not have this points tally you will be asked to go back and complete the earlier exercises first!

You should only do this workshop if you are in Team Skywalker.

Follow this link to log in and do the workshop. Alternatively, you might choose to do your work in NetBeans if you prefer – the NoobLab page is just for the medal awarding in that case.

Completed the Javascript workshops already? Join Team Obi-Wan!

Have you completed the Javascript workshops already? Have you gone beyond being a Jedi Knight and feel ready to be a Jedi Master? Then join Team Obi-Wan!

(translation for the Star Wars-ically challenged: there’s some additional cool material you can do if you like!)

If you have completed workshop 4 of Javascript, there are some extra challenges you might like to try your arm at:

  • The board games challenge asks you to write three games – Hangman, Tic Tac Toe and Connect 4. See if you can not only get the game mechanics working, but also detect winning and/or losing states plus the capability of restarting the game. You might want to start with Tic Tac Toe, as your solution to the last Javascript exercise is your starting point for that.
  • The image viewer challenge asks you to write a simple Javascript application that lets the user navigate and view images from thumbnails
  • Want something a bit more abstract and already have programming experience before coming to KU? Why not try Object Oriented Programming in Javascript?

Now man your ships. And may the Force be with you!
