Go Fish Java HW Project

I need this done by tomorrow before 5pm central USA time zone.

Background Information

Go Fish is a children’s card game usually played by 3-6 players(although two can also play), usinga shuffledstandarddeck of 52 cards. The objective of the game is to collect as many “books” (sets of 4 cards of the same rank) as [login to view URL] game starts by dealing 5 cards to each player. The player to the dealer’s left takes the first turn. During Player A’s turn, Aasks a specific player (call this Player B) to give Aall cards of a specific rank. To do this, Amust possess at least one card of that rank. If Bhas any cards of that rank, s/he must give all of them to A, andAthen takes another [login to view URL] Bdoes not have any cards of that rank, s/he tells Ato “Go fish!” At this point, Adraws the top card fromthe deck. If that drawn card matches the rank that Ainitially requested, Atakes another turn. If the drawn card does not match the rank that Ainitially requested, it becomesB’s [login to view URL] soon as a player collects 4 cards of the same rank (whether from another player, or from the deck), s/he removes this “book” of cards from his/her hand and sets it aside. The game ends when there are no cards left in the deck, or when any player runs out of cards in his/her hand. The winner is the player with the most [login to view URL] are possible.

The Assignment:

Write a text-based implementation of Go Fish. Your program should allow 2-6 players to play the game. Since there’s no concept of “to the dealer’s left” in this software version, you can make the first turn go to any player you wish. When a player takes his/her turn, your program should display a count of how many cards are left in the deck, as well as a summary of that player’s current hand and collected books, if any. When the game ends, determine and show the winning player(s) on the screen.

To make things easier for you (and for the TAs!), I’ve already developed a basic class design for you.

Card and Deck classes to represent an individual card and a deck of cards. You can use the Card and Deck classes from the poker example discussed in lecture as a starting point. However, you may need to add a little bit more functionality.

A Player class to represent each player. This class should include (but is not limited to) the following parts:

Instance variables

Player’s name

Cards in the player’s hand

Books that the playerhas collectedo

Methods

Adding a card to the hand

Removing cards from the hand that form complete books

Transferring all cards of a specific rank to another Player object

A GoFishclass to represent the entire set of [login to view URL] class should include (butis not limited to) the following parts:

Instance variables

A Deckobject

An array of Playerobjectso

Methods

Allowing a specific player to take his/her turn

Checking whether the game is over

Determining the winning player(s)

A startGame()method similar to what we wrote in thepoker and Nim examples. This method iswhat will get executed when you run your game. Itshould include things like allowing the user to specify the number of players, collecting each player’s name, allowing players to take turns until the game is over, etc.

Note that all user input should be located only in the GoFishclass. The idea is that the core game objects (cards, deck, etc.) should be independent of the game’s user interface. If you wanted to make a graphical version of Go Fish, you’dbe able to use the existing classes and make changes only to GoFish!

Implement error checking on all user inputs, to the extent that was covered in COMP [login to view URL] example, you should include things like:

Making sure the user can’t select fewer than 2or greater than 6 players

Making sure a player can’t ask him/herself for cards

Making sure a player can’t request a rank that s/he does not have in his/her hand
