2 LAB SESSION
2.1 CREATE A NEW PROJECT
• Select File->New->Java Project
• “Under Create a Java Project”
dialog box, for the Project Name
field, type in matchingGame as
project name
2.2 CREATE A CARD CLASS
• Under the “src/model”
package, create Card class
• Add the code snippet shown below to the Card class.
package model;

import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import javax.swing.Icon;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import controller.cardController;
public class Card extends JLabel implements MouseListener{
// data fields
Icon faceIcon;
Icon backIcon;
//card is initially face down
boolean faceUp = false;
//card number
int num;
//half the dimensions of the back face icon
int iconWidthHalf, iconHeightHalf;
boolean mousePressedOnMe = false;
cardController controller;
/**
* Constructor
* @param face face of the card, two cards have the same face
* @param back back of the card
* @param num number corresponding to the face icon
*/
public Card(cardController controller, Icon face, Icon back, int num){
super(back); //initially all cards face down
this.controller=controller;
this.faceIcon=face;
this.backIcon=back;
this.num=num;
//catch mouse clicks
this.addMouseListener(this);
//(face or back) dimensions for mouse click testing
this.iconHeightHalf=back.getIconHeight()/2;
this.iconWidthHalf=face.getIconWidth()/2;
}
public int getNum(){return num;}//return the number of the card
/**
* Check the coordinates for mouse click
* @param x
* @param y
* @return
*/
private boolean overIcon(int x, int y){
int distX=Math.abs(x-(this.getWidth()/2));
int distY=Math.abs(y-(this.getHeight()/2));
//outside
if (distX>this.iconWidthHalf||distY>this.iconHeightHalf)
return false;
//inside
return true;
}
/**

* turn face up
*/
public void turnUp(){
if (this.faceUp) return;
//this.faceUp=true; controller result checked in here
this.faceUp=this.controller.turnUp(this);
if(this.faceUp) this.setIcon(this.faceIcon);
}
public void turnDown(){
if (!this.faceUp)return;
this.setIcon(this.backIcon);
this.faceUp=false; //card is now down
}
@Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (overIcon(arg0.getX(), arg0.getY())) this.turnUp();
}
@Override
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent arg0) {
}
@Override
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent arg0) {
this.mousePressedOnMe=false;
}
@Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent arg0) {
if (overIcon(arg0.getX(),arg0.getY()))this.mousePressedOnMe=true;
}
@Override
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent arg0) {
if (this.mousePressedOnMe){
this.mousePressedOnMe=false;
this.mouseClicked(arg0);
}
}
}
2.3 MATCHINGGAME CLASS
• We need to create matchıngGame class to create main window.
• Create new class called matchıngGame under the “src/view” package.
package view;

import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.util.Random;
import javax.swing.BoxLayout;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JMenu;
import javax.swing.JMenuBar;
import javax.swing.JMenuItem;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import controller.cardController;
import model.Card;
public class matchingGame implements ActionListener{
//data fields
private JFrame mainFrame; //main window
private Container mainContentPane;//card holder
private ImageIcon cardIcon[]; //0-7 front side of the card; 8 back side
private static void newMenuItem(String text, JMenu menu, ActionListener listener){
JMenuItem newItem=new JMenuItem(text);
newItem.setActionCommand(text);
newItem.addActionListener(listener);
menu.add(newItem);
}
/**
* Default constructor for the game.
* Makes main windows and allocate the card and images
*/
public matchingGame(){
//main window
this.mainFrame=new JFrame("Matching Game");
this.mainFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
this.mainFrame.setSize(400, 500);
this.mainContentPane=this.mainFrame.getContentPane();
this.mainContentPane.setLayout(new
BoxLayout(this.mainContentPane,BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
//Menu Bar
JMenuBar menuBar=new JMenuBar();
this.mainFrame.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
//Game Menu
JMenu gameMenu=new JMenu("Game");
menuBar.add(gameMenu);
newMenuItem("New Game", gameMenu,this);
newMenuItem("Exit",gameMenu,this);
//About Menu
JMenu aboutMenu=new JMenu("About");
menuBar.add(aboutMenu);
newMenuItem("Help etc.", aboutMenu,this);//we need to create generic
//newMenuItem
newMenuItem("About",aboutMenu,this);

menuBar.add(aboutMenu);
// we need to load cards
this.cardIcon=loadCardIcons();
}
private ImageIcon[] loadCardIcons(){
// first we need to create resources for the icons
ImageIcon icon[]=new ImageIcon[9];
for (int i=0; i<9;i++){
String fileName="images/default/card"+i+".jpg";
icon[i]=new ImageIcon(fileName);
}
return icon;
}
public JPanel makeCards(){
JPanel panel=new JPanel(new GridLayout(4,4));
//all card have same back side (down)
ImageIcon backIcon=this.cardIcon[8]; //which is the back side
cardController controller=new cardController();
int cardsToAdd[]=new int[16];
for (int i=0;i<8;i++){
cardsToAdd[2*i]=i;
cardsToAdd[2*i+1]=i;
}
//we need to randomize them later
randomizeCardArray(cardsToAdd);
//we need to make card object
for (int i=0;i<cardsToAdd.length;i++){
int num=cardsToAdd[i];
Card newCard=new Card(controller, this.cardIcon[num], backIcon, num);
panel.add(newCard);
}
return panel;
}
private void randomizeCardArray(int[] t) {
Random randomizer=new Random();
//
for(int i=0;i<t.length;i++){
int d=randomizer.nextInt(t.length);
//swap
int s=t[d];
t[d]=t[i];
t[i]=s;
}
//so we need to controller that control the card behaviors
}
public void newGame(){
this.mainContentPane.removeAll();
//make a new card set visible
this.mainContentPane.add(makeCards());
//show main window

this.mainFrame.setVisible(true);
}
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (e.getActionCommand().equals("New Game")) newGame();
if (e.getActionCommand().equals("Exit")) System.exit(0);
}
}
2.4 MAIN CLASS
• We need to add Main class for test the what we’ve done.
• First we need to create Main class as a new class under the “src” package
import view.matchingGame;
public class Main {
public static void main (String[] argv){
matchingGame instance=new matchingGame();
instance.newGame();
}
}
2.5 CARDCONTROLLER CLASS
• Create the cardController class under the “src/controller”.
package controller;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.Timer;
import model.Card;
import java.util.Vector;
public class cardController implements ActionListener{
//data fields
private Vector turnedCards;
private Timer turnDownTimer;
private final int turnDownDelay=2000;
public cardController(){
this.turnedCards=new Vector(2);
this.turnDownTimer=new Timer(this.turnDownDelay, this);
this.turnDownTimer.setRepeats(false);
}
private boolean doAddCard(Card card){

this.turnedCards.add(card);
if (this.turnedCards.size()==2){
Card otherCard=(Card)this.turnedCards.get(0);
if(otherCard.getNum()==card.getNum())
this.turnedCards.clear();
else this.turnDownTimer.start();
}
return true;
}
public boolean turnUp(Card card){
if (this.turnedCards.size()<2)return doAddCard(card);
return false;
}
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
for (int i=0;i< this.turnedCards.size();i++){
Card card=(Card)this.turnedCards.get(i);
card.turnDown();
}
this.turnedCards.clear();
// we need to add this controller to the Card class and also we need to use
// methods in the view class
}
}
2.6 HOMEWORKS
1. Add window components (JTextField, JLabel etc.) to count and show the turn attempts.
2. Make changes in menubar to select different card pictures from menu called "Card Type".
3. Card type menu has submenu item called “Cars”, “Flowers” etc. User can select the different card style to play
the game.
Have fun.
