Targets

Create a small but extendable project in Java using OOP concepts and prozedures.

Prozedures

• if/else
• case
• while/for
• early return

OOP

• Encapsulation
• Inheritance
• [~] Abstraction
• Interfaces
• Types
• Enumeration
  • Primitive Types
  • Complex Types
• Classes
  • Constructors
  • Setters & Getters
  • Modifiers
    • public
    • private
    • protected
    • abstract
    • final
  • Return value Type

Java STD Classes:

• Scanner (Terminal input)
• StringBuffer
• [~] File I/O
• [~] Date

Frameworks

• [~] Logging via java.util.logging.*
• [~] Testing via "JUnit"
• Code versioning via GIT

Documentation

• Write a project documentation in MarkDown
• [~] Write a code documentation with javadoc

NOT targets

• a (G)UI
• a Gaming AI to play against
• a production ready application

CardGameApp

Base idea of this project is to create an extensible Base of (abstract) Types, to create and play several different Card Games. Each Game implements it's own set of rules how

Possible Games are: (List of Card Games by Amount of Cards)

• BlackJack (17+4)
• Classic Uno
• Schnapsen (Cards could be "Französisch" or "DoppelDeutsch")
  • Schnapsen
  • BauernSchnapsen
  • TalonSchnapsen (DreierSchnapsen)
• Rommé
• etc
