Description
Assignment Scope
For this assignment each player will either accept or reject the trump suit. If the player accepts the trump suit they say “Pick it up!” If the player rejects the trump suit they say “Pass.” The human player will be able to respond as desired. For the AI players it will depend upon how many cards in their hand match the trump suit. For our purposes we will implement the version of Euchre called “Stick the Dealer.” What that means is, if every player passes on the trump suit the dealer has to accept it!
To accomplish this:
- Reference the tasks below for the specifics of the source code requirements.
- Compress a project and submit to Webcourses
- Decompress compressed project and verify it is a Netbeans project
References
- docx
- Setting up a project in Netbeans.docx
- Netbeans right click menu help.docx
Deliverables
To complete this assignment, you must submit your compressed Netbeans project to Webcourses.
Please keep in mind that the tasks are guidance to accomplish the goals of the assignment. At times students will be required to do additional research (e.g. Google That S**T (GTS)!) to find implementation options. In the industry, software engineers are expected to be very self-sufficient to find the best solution for the task at hand.
I have provided multiple code examples on Webcourses that shows how to implement numerous of the tasks below, please reference those code examples prior to asking me for help!

|
| 2. Add a getter for member variable trumpCheck
3. Update customer constructor Game() to do the following a. Comment out the call the method play() 4. Update method createTeams() to do the following a.

Add a call to method trumpCheck 6. Add method trumpCheck to do the following a. Return type void b. Empty parameter list c. Initialize member variable trumpCheck to the value of 0 d. Create a local variable of data type int to represent the current player, initialized to the member variable leadIdx e. Loop while the value of member variable trumpCheck is less than the number of players i. Instantiate an instance of class Player set equal to member variable getting the player at the position represented by local variable created in step d. (i.e. starting with the lead player) ii. On the Player object from above, call method makeTrump() iii. Check if the Player object accepted the trump by calling method getAcceptTrump() 1. If true, loop through the member variable of data type ArrayList that stores the teams in the game 2.

Display a dialog message to state which team has accepted the trump suit 3. Break out of the while loop if trump has been accepted iv. Else 1. Increment the member variable trumpCheck by one v. Increment the local variable representing the current player by one; be sure to check if the counter is equal to 3, then reset it to 0 (e.g. remember, the table member variable has only 4 elements so the maximum index is 3) |
