The instructions for how to actually run your game will be posted here on Friday.

Due Date: Tuesday, February 5th, 2008 at 10:00 pm .

To run your game you need to do the following:

1. The class OceanWorld should extend World - so the first line of code after the three import statements and a comment what the program does will be:

   class OceanWorld extends World{

2. Include in the definition of the class OceanWorld the following method:

     // start the world and the timer
     boolean go() {
       return this.bigBang(300,200,0.05); }
     

   where 300 is the width of the world, 200 is the height, and there is a new tick every 0.5 second.

3. Define the instance of the initial OceanWorld in the Examples class:

     OceanWorld sfw = new OceanWorld(... );
       

4. After you run the program and see that all tests succeeded, in the Interactions window do the following:

   > Examples e = new Examples();
   > e.sfw.go()
       

   and play the game.
