Project B

1 Introduction
This project (Project B), and the next one (Project C), will continue with the same theme introduced in
Project A – namely, an implementation of the game of Nim. Please refer to the Project A specification
for a description of the game and its rules.

In Project A, a simple Java program was created to handle Nim’s core game play mechanics. In the next
two projects, the objective is to design and implement a more complete version of Nim, making full use
of Java’s object-oriented paradigm.

Key Knowledge Points Covered in Project B:

1. Design of the class structure for the project requires the knowledge of UML diagrams (taught in
Week 5).

2. Implementation requires understanding of Classes (taught in Week 4 – 6) and Arrays (taught in
Week 7).

You may start working on the project right away except the array part. If you would like to start to
work on the array part before week 7, you may learn basics of arrays by yourself.

2 Requirements

In this project, we introduce a third class NimGame. The game playing process is delegated from Nimsys
to NimGame. Since only one game will be active at any given time, only a single NimGame instance is
required by Nimsys. Nimsys should also maintain a collection of players. Initially, this collection will be
empty – players will need to be added in order to play a game.

A NimGame instance needs to have the following information associated with it:

• A current stone count

• An upper bound on stone removal

• Two players

1

The system should allow for games of Nim to be played, with the rules of the game, and the players,
specified by the user.

A player, as described by the NimPlayer class, needs to have the following information associated with
it:

• A username

• A given name

• A family name

• Number of games played

• Number of games won

The system should allow players to be added. It should also allow for players to be deleted, or for their
details to be edited. Players should not be able to directly edit their game statistics, although they
should be able to reset them.

The system is a text based interactive program that reads and executes commands from standard input
(the keyboard) until an ‘exit’ command is issued, which will terminate the program. If a command
produces output, it should be printed to standard output (the terminal).

When Nimsys is first executed, it should display a welcome message, followed by a blank line. A
command prompt (a ‘dollar’ sign, i.e., $) should then be displayed.

In following description, all command line displays are put in a box. This is only for easier understanding
the format. The box should NOT be printed out by the your program, only the contents in
the box should be printed. The command prompt is illustrated below:

Welcome to Nim

$

At any given time, the system can be in one of two states – either a game is in progress, or no game
is in progress. Hereafter, these will be referred to as the ‘game’ and ‘idle’ states, respectively. (Note:
the states are just used to explain the mechanism of Nimsys. You don’t need to create a variable called
‘state’ in your code).

When in the idle state, the system should accept the following commands. These commands are entered
at the Nimsys command prompt. If a command produces output, it should be printed immediately be-
low the line where the command was issued. After the command has executed, a new command prompt
should be displayed. This new command prompt should be separated from the previous command (and
its output, if any) by a single blank line.

Note that in the syntax descriptions below, a term enclosed in square brackets indicates an
optional parameter. The input is assumed to be always valid, but not always correct . Valid
input suggests that entered data have the same type of the corresponding variables, e.g., String data
are entered for String variables, integer data are entered for int variables. Correct input suggests
that the entered data can be correctly processed by the corresponding command, e.g., adding an existing
user and removing a nonexistent user are incorrect input. Unless otherwise stated, you are NOT
required to check validness, but you ARE required to check the correctness of the input,
as shown in the below examples.

1. addplayer – Allows new players to be added to the game. If a player with the given username
already exists, the system should indicate this, as shown in the example execution.

Syntax: addplayer username,family_name,given_name

Example Execution:

2

(a) add a new user:

$addplayer lskywalker,Skywalker,Luke

$

(b) add a user who already exists in the system

$addplayer lskywalker,Skywalker,Luke

The player already exists.

$

2. removeplayer – Allows players to be removed from the game. The username of the player to be
removed is given as an argument to the command. If no username is given, the command should
remove all players, but in this case, it should display a confirmation question first. If a username
for a non-existent player is given, the system should indicate that the player does not exist. The
format of these messages is illustrated in the example execution below.

Syntax: removeplayer [username]

Example Execution:

(a) remove a nonexistent user

$removeplayer lskyrunner

The player does not exist.

$

(b) remove a user

$removeplayer lskywalker

$

(c) remove all users

$removeplayer

Are you sure you want to remove all players? (y/n)

y

$

3. editplayer – Allows player details to be edited. Note that the player’s username cannot be changed
after the player is created. If a username for a non-existent player is given, the system should
indicate that the player does not exist, as illustrated in the example execution.

Syntax: editplayer username,new_family_name,new_given_name

Example Execution:

(a) edit a nonexistent user

$editplayer lskyrunner,Skywalker,Laurence

The player does not exist.

$

(b) edit a user

3

$editplayer lskywalker,Skywalker,Laurence

$

4. resetstats – Allows player statistics to be reset. The username of the player whose statistics are to
be reset is given as an argument to the command. If no username is given, the command should
reset all player statistics, but as with the ‘removeplayer’ command, a confirmation question should
be displayed in this case. If a username for a non-existent player is given, the system should indicate
that the player does not exist, as illustrated in the example execution.

Syntax: resetstats [username]

Example Execution:

(a) reset a nonexistent user

$resetstats lskyrunner

The player does not exist.

$

(b) reset a user

$resetstats lskywalker

$

(c) reset all users

$resetstats

Are you sure you want to reset all player statistics? (y/n)

y

$

5. displayplayer – Displays player information. The username of the player whose information is to
be displayed is given as an argument to the command. If no username is given, the command
should display information for all players, ordered by username alphabetically. If a username for a
non-existent player is given, the system should indicate that the player does not exist, as illustrated
in the example execution. Please note when displaying player, the sequence of syntax is
username,givenname,familyname,number of games played,number of games won.

Syntax: displayplayer [username]

Example Execution:

(a) display a nonexistent user

$displayplayer lskyrunner

The player does not exist.

$

(b) display a user

$displayplayer lskywalker

lskywalker,Luke,Skywalker,3 games,3 wins

$

(c) display all users

4

$displayplayer

dvader,Darth,Vader,7 games,1 wins

hsolo,Han,Solo,4 games,3 wins

lskywalker,Luke,Skywalker,3 games,3 wins

$

6. rankings – Outputs a list of player rankings. There are three columns displayed. The first column
displays percentage wins or winning ratio, the second column displays the number of games played,
and the final column shows the player’s full name, that is, first name followed by last name. This
command takes the sort order as an argument. The sort order is desc or descending by default.
That is, if no argument or desc is provided, the program should rank the players by the percentage
of games they have won in descending order, i.e., players with highest percentage wins should
be displayed first. If the user provides asc as an argument, the players should be ranked by the
percentage of games they have won in ascending order. Round the percentages to the nearest integer
value. However, you should use the exact values of winning ratios when comparing and sorting two
users’ winning ratios. Ties should be resolved by sorting on usernames alphabetically. Only the
first 10 players should be displayed, if there are more than 10. The output should be formatted
according to the example below. For the purposes of formatting the output, you may assume that
no player has played more than 99 games. Note that the vertical lines need to be aligned, with
a single space appearing on either side. This means that in the first column you must have 5
characters consisting of a number, ’%’, and spaces. The first column must be left-justified.

Syntax: rankings [asc|desc]

Example Execution:

(a) rank all users in descending order

$rankings

100% | 03 games | Luke Skywalker

75% | 04 games | Han Solo

14% | 07 games | Darth Vader

$

(b) rank all users in descending order

$rankings desc

100% | 03 games | Luke Skywalker

75% | 04 games | Han Solo

14% | 07 games | Darth Vader

$

(c) rank all users in ascending order

$rankings asc

14% | 07 games | Darth Vader

75% | 04 games | Han Solo

100% | 03 games | Luke Skywalker

$

7. startgame – Creates and commences a game of Nim. The game’s rules, and the usernames of
the two players, are provided as arguments. You may assume that the initial stones and up-
perbound arguments are valid and correct. However, if at least one (i.e. one or two) of the

5

usernames doesn’t correspond to an actual player, the system should indicate this by the output
“One of the players does not exist.”, and the game should not commence.

Otherwise, the ‘startgame’ command will commence a game, i.e., after executing it, the system is in
the game state. When a game is in progress, the system should proceed according to the game play
mechanics discussed in Project A, i.e., players should, in an alternating fashion, be asked to enter
the number of stones they would like to remove, with the game state being updated accordingly. In
this project, bounds on stone removal should be enforced. That is, players should only be allowed
to remove between 1 and N stones inclusive, where N is the upper bound or the number of stones
remaining, whichever is smaller. Once all the stones are gone, a winner should be announced, and
the statistics for the two players should be updated accordingly. The system should then return to
the idle state, and a command prompt should be displayed again.

Syntax: startgame initialstones,upperbound,username1,username2

Example Execution:

(a) start game with a non-existent user

$startgame 10,3,lskyrunner,hsolo

One of the players does not exist.

$

6

(b) start a game

$startgame 10,3,lskywalker,hsolo

Initial stone count: 10

Maximum stone removal: 3

Player 1: Luke Skywalker

Player 2: Han Solo

10 stones left: * * * * * * * * * *

Luke’s turn – remove how many?

3

7 stones left: * * * * * * *

Han’s turn – remove how many?

4

Invalid move. You must remove between 1 and 3 stones.

7 stones left: * * * * * * *

Han’s turn – remove how many?

3

4 stones left: * * * *

Luke’s turn – remove how many?

3

1 stones left: *

Han’s turn – remove how many?

0

Invalid move. You must remove between 1 and 1 stones.

1 stones left: *

Han’s turn – remove how many?

1

Game Over

Luke Skywalker wins!

$

8. exit – Exits the Nimsys program.

Syntax: exit

Note that before you call the exit method in Java using System.exit(0); , you must
print a blank line first.

(a) exit the system

$exit

7

As was described earlier, it is important that your design makes good use of object-oriented design
principles. This is particularly relevant when it comes to implementing the actual gameplay. In a real
game, play proceeds with each player performing the action of removing some number of
stones from the game. Your design should reflect this structure.

Don’t worry about changing your output for singular/plural entities. Simply always use plural entities,
i.e., you should output ‘1 games’, ‘1 wins’, ‘1 stones’, etc.

Checklist For Solution

• Error handling issues
Only the following errors need to be handled (you may choose to handle more if you wish):

� Adding a new player with an existing username.
Error message: The player already exists.
Follow-up operation: Print ‘$’ and prompt for user input again.

� Removing a player with a non-existing username.
Error message: The player does not exist.
Follow-up operation: Print ‘$’ and prompt for user input again.

� Resetting the statistics of a player with a non-existing username.
Error message: The player does not exist.
Follow-up operation: Print ‘$’ and prompt for user input again.

� Displaying a player with a non-existing username.
Error message: The player does not exist.
Follow-up operation: Print ‘$’ and prompt for user input again.

� Starting a game where at least one of the player’s username does not exist.
Error message: One of the players does not exist.
Follow-up operation: Print ‘$’ and prompt for user input again.

� Removing stone outside of the range [1, stoneRemovalUpperBound], where stoneRemovalUpperBound
is the maximum number of stones allowed to be removed in one turn.
Error message: Invalid move. You must remove between 1 and stoneRemovalUpperBound
stones (do not need to consider the singular or plural form of “stone”).
Follow-up operation: Prompt for the same player to remove stone again.

• Blank line and whitespace related issue.

� Make sure that between the output of last command (including indication for nonexistent
users, confirmation for all-user operations, display results, and game results) and the next
command prompt, there is one blank line.

� Make sure that there is a whitespace between (y/n) and Are you sure… sentence.

� Make sure that there is NO whitespace after each comma, e.g., when displaying users, it
should be davader,Darth instead of davader, Darth.

� Make sure that in game state, there is one blank line before the Initial stone count…
and one blank line after the Player 2:….

� Make sure that in game state, if a user input an invalid move, there is one blank line between
the user-input move and the indication sentence Invalid move….

� Make sure that an extra blank line is printed out before calling System.exit(0); when
command exit is entered.

• Ranking display related issues.

� Make sure that the ranking is in a descending order of winning ratio by default or when “desc”
is provided as an argument.

8

� Make sure that the ranking is in a ascending order of winning ratio when “asc” is provided as
an argument.

� Make sure that winning ratio is rounded to the nearest integer value when displaying the
winning ratio. However, please note that exact values are still used when comparing and
sorting two users winning ratios.

� Make sure that users with the same winning ratio are sorted according to the alphabetical
order of the user name irrespective of the argument supplied to the rankings command, e.g.,
if username ethan and username tom have the same winning ratio, you should rank ethan the
higher place.

� Make sure that the first and the second column strictly have 5 and 10 characters, respectively.

• Display player related issues.

� Make sure that the displayed list is sorted in an alphabetical order of the username.

• Game related issues.

� Make sure to correctly update the statistics for players when a game ends.

� Make sure to check valid move by comparing the move to the smaller one between the current
number of stones and the upper bound for one move.

� Make sure that after an invalid move, it is still the turn of the player who made the invalid
move.

• Command line prompt related issues.

� Make sure that the command prompt appears again after each command is issued (except the
exit command).

� Make sure that only one command prompt is displayed after a game is over and the system
returns to the idle state.

• Other issues.

� The maximum number of players can be set as 100.

� The branching statement switch may not support Strings on the submission server.

� The boxes enclosing the above example executions are NOT to be printed out, they are just
for better illustration.

Important Notes About Submission
Immediately after you make a submission using the “submit” command, computer automatic test will
be conducted on your program by automatically compiling, running, and comparing your outputs for
several test cases with generated expected outputs. The automatic test will deem your output wrong if
your output does not match the expected output, even if the difference is just having an extra space or
missing a comma. Therefore it is crucial that your output follows exactly the same format shown
in the examples above.

The keyword import is available for you to use standard java packages. However, please DO NOT
use the package keyword to organise your source files into packages. The automatic test system cannot
deal with packages. If you are using Netbeans as the IDE, please be aware that the project name may
automatically be used as the package name. Please remove the line like

package ProjB;

at the beginning of the source files before you submit them to the system.

Please use ONLY ONE Scanner object throughout your program. Otherwise the automatic test will
cause your program to generate exceptions and terminate. The reason is that in the automatic test,
multiple lines of test inputs are sent all together to the program. As the program receives the inputs, it
will pass them all to the currently active Scanner object, leaving the rest Scanner objects nothing to read
and hence cause run-time exception. Therefore it is crucial that your program has only one Scanner
object. Arguments such as “It runs correctly when I do manual test, but fails under automatic test”
will not be accepted.

3 Your Tasks

1. Draw a UML class diagram for Nimsys based on the above information. For each class you need to
identify all its instance variables and methods (including public and private modifiers) along with
their corresponding data types and list of parameters. You should also identify all relationships
between classes. (5 marks)

2. Implement Nimsys in Java according to the above specification and in accordance with your UML
class diagram. (15 marks)

4 Assessment

This project is worth 20% of the total marks for the subject. Project C will build on this project. In
order to pass the hurdle (20/40) for all projects, it is very important that you do well in this project
first.

The deadline for the project is 3pm, Thursday 4 May, 2017. The allowed time is more than enough
for completing the project. Late submissions will NOT be accepted.

For the UML diagrams, you may submit a preliminary version before 3pm Thursday 20 April, 2017
to get feedback before the final due. This step is not compulsory and also not marked. Only the final
UML submission will be marked, due at 3pm, Thursday 4 May, 2017. Multiple submissions for the
UML diagrams are allowed, yet only the last submission will be assessed. Concerning the submission
steps, please refer to Section 5.

Your UML diagram will be marked based on how well it reflects the program structure as described in
this project specification. Your Java program will be assessed based on correctness of the output as well
as quality of code implementation. See LMS for a detailed marking scheme.

5 Submission

For the UML diagrams, please submit your files in the format of jpg or png on LMS. The detailed steps
are as follows

1. log on to the LMS and click Projects section;

2. below the projects table there is a link named “ProjB UML Diagram Submission”, click it;

3. the submission window will pop out, in the “Attach File” section, please choose “Browse My
Computer” and select your UML diagram files on computer;

4. click the “submit” button and you shall see that the submission is successful; whenever you click
the “ProjB UML Diagram Submission” again, you can browse the submission history and start a
new submission

For the implementation, your program should be contained within a number of well structured and
documented Java classes. The entry point of your program should be in a class called Nimsys (in a file
called Nimsys.java). Thus, your program will be invoked via: java Nimsys (you do not need to type
this command).

Your Java classes should be stored together in their own directory under your home directory on the
student server. Then, you can submit your work using the following command:

submit 90041 projB *.java

Note that you must submit all your Java files, not just Nimsys.java. If you submit you code
multiple times, the later submission will overwrite the previous one. If you submit all your java source
codes and then modify one source code, you need to submit all of your source codes agian, not just the
modified one.

You should then verify your submission using the following command. This will store the verification
information in the file ‘feedback.txt’, which you can then view:

verify 90041 projB > feedback.txt

You should issue the above commands from within the same directory as where your project files are
stored (to get there you may need to use the cd ‘Change Directory’ command). Note that you can submit
as many times as you like before the deadline.

How you edit, compile and run your Java program is up to you. You are free to use any editor or
development environment. However, you need to ensure that your program compiles and runs
correctly on the student servers. Submit your program to the student servers a couple of days
before the deadline to ensure that they work (you can still improve your program). “I can’t get
my code to work on the student server but it worked on my Windows machine” is not an
acceptable excuse for late submissions.

6 Individual Work

Note well that this project is part of your final assessment, so cheating is not acceptable. Any form of
material exchange, whether written, electronic or any other medium is considered cheating, and so is
the soliciting of help from electronic newsgroups. Providing undue assistance is considered as serious
as receiving it, and in the case of similarities that indicate exchange of more than basic ideas, formal
disciplinary action will be taken for all involved parties. A sophisticated program that undertakes deep
structural analysis of Java code identifying regions of similarity will be run over all submissions in
“compare every pair” mode.
