extend the Colossal Cave program with minimal guidance demonstrate mastery of some of the topics we've covered in the last half of the course

You are to implement at least two enhancements to the game:

You should improve both the game's play and its implementation. Some possible enhancements include, but are not limited to, the following:

Because of the order of our Lessons, we did several things in a non-optimal way. For example, we used ArrayLists instead of Maps from the Java Collections Framework. We did not use Interface specifications for return types and formal parameters. Fix this. (Improves implementation, but not play) Refactor the user interface to be I18N capable (improves both). Save and restore the game state on request (improves both). Change the user interface to be a GUI (improves play, but not implementation). Extend the game by at least 4 rooms and their associated items. The extension must implement unique behavior of the items and rooms. For example, catching the bird, having appropriate rooms be lit or dark based on the lamp's state, implementing at least one magic word (improves play, but not implementation). Other extension negotiated prior to starting work; call me--initiative is wonderful. I encourage it. You get to influence what "success" means when you carve out your own improvement.

Deliverables:

Updated game Document stating, for each enhancement

the nature of the enhancement how the change improved the game's play or implementation, or both the changes made to the program the changes made to the game play the tests you wrote to verify that your enhancements worked

This document doesn't have to be big or fancy. I need to know what I'm looking at, and looking for.

Grading Elements:

Submission follows your instructor's instructions for dropbox submissions, coding standards and conventions. Your program implements a subset of the real game Two significant enhancements made in the game that improve its play and/or implementation Tests that the enhancements work as intended. For a GUI implementation, document a path through the cave the will demonstrate the GUI's capabilities. For an extension of the Cave, document a path that will demonstrate the new features of the cave. Implementation enhancements probably lend themselves to JUnit testing At least one enhancement should improve play At least one enhancement should improve implementation
