WebCAT submission for the game is open. It is not the final version. This version is for you to submit as often as you wish, checking that everything works fine.
If you submit before Sunday in a way that I can do a code review in class on Monday - you get 10 bonus points. These will be added to your final grade for the imperative game.

Assignment 7:
Helpful hints.
A well formatted (and updated) starting files for Lab 10 and Lab 10a can be found here:
You do not need to upload the following files:
InFileCityTraversal.java
ISelect.java
The zip code in the class City should remain as int.
I made the field zipFormat in the file City a static field, so it does not show up in the tester output.
To turn zip code into a correctly showing String use the following code:
City.zipFormat.format(this.zip)
– its value is the String that has the leading zeros when appropriate.

To compare doubles when defining the equals method add this method to your class:
/** |
* Are the two given values approximately equal? |
* *param d1 thie first value |
* *param d2 the second value |
* return true if the values are within 0.01 of each other |
*/ |
public boolean sameDouble(double d1, double d2) { |
return Math.abs(d1 - d2) < 0.01; |
} |

Submission directions and hints for Assignment 3:
Our tests test the methods in your Strings.java file and Files.java file. We provide no tests for the game code (but you have to).
A revised version of the BlobWorldFun.java shows how to make sure your game code passes all style checks.
Important: Make sure in the code for the game you comment out any statement that would invoke the bigBang method. The WebCAT cannot run your game and if you ask it to try, it fails very miserably as it has no place where it would display your game canvas.

Clarifications and corrections for Assignment 2:
– Design the method textLength that computer the number of letters in all text that appears on the web site starting at this web page. This includes the contents of the text, the names of the image files and their file types, the labels for links, and their titles of the web pages.
(I am not using Windows, and in my mind the file name always includes the file type. However, do not count the dot used to separte the two parts. So the textLength for the image of kevin in a file of the type ’png’ would be 5 + 3 = 8)
– Design the method images that produces one String that has in it all names of images on this web site, given with their file types, and separated by comma and space.
So for the example above this String would start with
"annie.jpeg, kevin.png"
(i.e., there is a comma and a space between two ’inner’ items, but not after the last one.)
Name you sample web page as myWP not myFriendsWP as originally requested.)
If you already got the full credit, you do not need to do anything. Otherwise, please, fix the dtails and resubmit.
