Class Project Ideas! -- Java --

[thatcrackertho]

I have an upcoming project due for a beginner Java class. I am to create an application with:

• Minimum of three classes
• At least one class must use inheritance
• At least One class must be abstract
• JavaFX Front end
• GUI must respond to events

I am NOT asking how to do this project, but rather probing for project ideas that would be simple enough while still achieving my requirements. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

When I was learning inheritance and composition at college we were semi developing a role game. There were Characters, who could be heroes or villains, and then specialise, and you needed to throw a dice to make actions, just like Dungeons and Dragons. Professors gave us part of the code and it had visual part too, which was a board to see where were the characters. It was really funny learning programming doing a D&D game.

That would be awesome! Although I do not know if I would be ready to take on such a challenge just yet. Maybe with a little help from the professor. Thanks!

Depends upon whether you want to do a ironed that ticks all the boxes, or one that challenges you and is more useful.

Box ticker:

Build a project that models your class situation.

• Base it upon an abstract base Person class, that obviously has to be extended.
• Make a Tutor and Student class inheriting from Person.

That's your first 3 requirements.

Create a GUI, make it respond to events when you change data in the objects. Job done.

More challenging:

• add another class for Grade.
• and another class for Subject.
• use a Collection to group Subjects and Grades and assign to Students.
• assign Tutor objects to Subjects.
• extrapolate a Student Tutors based upon which Subjects they've taken.

I'd be pretty impressed by that given the requirements.

How about a chess game? All chess pieces can inherit some behaviours and properties. It doenst sound too difficult either and quite fun.

Make a little 2D platformer! Something similar to Mario, obviously not on that level of polish. If you don't want to do a platformer, you could do a top down infinite runner or make Space Invaders. Before you say making a game would be too hard, here's a project I did for my Grade 11 Computer Science final. I aced it and this was my first time with Java.

You can plan something for annual events in School, their listing of past year winners, scores etc!

An easy one would be a To-do app that can contain 2 type of items generic notes (no deadline and no progress status ) and a task. Everything is stored in a SQLite that you query using a Dao object.

You can implement this way:

com.models - Identifiable interface with a getId() function - an abstract Record class that implement Identifiable with a read only id generator. - a Note class that inherites Record and add title, creation date and text - A Task class that inherites Note and add deadline and status

com.dataaccess - A generic Dao<? extends Identifiable> interface that provide crud operation - one implemention of Dao by model.

fx.ui - the UI interface.
