Quidditch – Part 7

Goal: Glue everything together inside Main.java.

Task 1

Create two constants:

static final String TEAMS_FILE = "RELATIVE PATH";
static final String PLAYS_FILE = "RELATIVE PATH";

Right-click on each file and copy its relative path. Your relative path should be src/main/file.txt.

Task 2

Create a function that retrieves the data from TEAMS_FILE

    /**
     * Function name: getData
     * @return (String[][])
     * @throws FileNotFoundException
     * 
     * Inside the function:
     *   1. Returns data from TEAMS_FILE as a String[][] array.
     */

Task 3

Inside main(), create a Game object from the data you extracted in Task 2.

new Game(
  new Team(data[0][0], data[0][1], data[0][2], new String[] {data[0][3], data[0][4], data[0][5]}),
  new Team(data[1][0], data[1][1], data[1][2], new String[] {data[1][3], data[1][4], data[1][5]})
);

Task 4

Create a function that starts the game of Quidditch.

  /** Function name: startGame
   * 
   * Inside the function:
   *    1. Grabs each play from plays.txt and call game.simulate(play);
   *    2. Prints the result from game.simulate(play): println("\n" + <result> + "\n");
   */

Call the function from main():

>>: Harper starts with the quaffle, speeds off towards the goal posts, and scores! 10 points!

>>: Malcolm gains the pass, belts up the field and scores, 10 points!

>>: Harper gets the next pass, flies like an eagle. Nice dive around the goalposts, and scores! 10 points.

>>: Oliver sees the quaffle racing towards the post. But, they're quick to it. Great save!

>>: Harper gains the pass, dives into the goalposts, and scores! 10 points!

>>: Harry sees the snitch, dives downwards, and catches the snitch! 150 POINTS!!!

Task 5

Create a function that prints the final result:

/** Function name: printResult()
 * 
 * Inside the function:
 *    1. Prints the final score: println("\nGRYFFINDOR: " + <gryffindor score> + " SLYTHERIN: " + <slytherin score>);
 *    2. Prints the winner: println("\n" + <winner team name> + " WINS!");
 *  
 */

Call the function from main():

>>: Harper starts with the quaffle, speeds off towards the goal posts, and scores! 10 points!

>>: Malcolm gains the pass, belts up the field and scores, 10 points!

>>: Harper gets the next pass, flies like an eagle. Nice dive around the goalposts, and scores! 10 points.

>>: Oliver sees the quaffle racing towards the post. But, they're quick to it. Great save!

>>: Harper gains the pass, dives into the goalposts, and scores! 10 points!

>>: Harry sees the snitch, dives downwards, and catches the snitch! 150 POINTS!!!

GRYFFINDOR: 150 SLYTHERIN: 40

GRYFFINDOR WINS!

Task 6

Create a function that makes the code "sleep" for X seconds.

    /**
     * Function name: wait
     * @param sec
     * 
     * Inside the function:
     *  1. Make the code sleep for X seconds.
     */

Hint: look into TimeUnit.

Task 7

Call wait(3) before printing each play.

Final output
