Java Programming: You will be implementing the Comparable interface

Card class

First, create a class named Card with the following properties: color:Color, value:String. The card would be used in the game of Uno. Add two constructors (no-arg constructor and a constructor that includes both properties), toString(), mutator and accessor methods. The toString method should use the , character to separate properties.

Your Card class should implement the Comparable interface as discussed in class. Implement the compareTo method that sorts by color then by value. So, if the cards have the same color, you need to look at the value to determine whether one card is less than the other. Use alphabetical order to compare colors.

When implementing compareTo(), remember the following rules:

Return a value greater than 0 if this comes after other.

Return a value less than 0 if this comes before other.

Return a value of 0 is this comes at the same time as other.

Deck Class

Create a Deck class consisting of 108 Cards represented in an ArrayList named cards. There are 0 x 1, 1 to 9 x 2 for each color (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow) = 76 cards. The game of Uno has other cards; however, we are ignoring them for this exercise. Here is an example of creating just the Green cards with the number values set that would be a part of the Deck constructor:

cards.add( new Card( Color.green, 0) ); for (int i=1; i<=9; i++) { cards.add( new Card( Color.green, i+) ); cards.add( new Card( Color.green, i+) ); } 

void shuffle() - Add a method to your Deck class that shuffles (randomizes) the cards. Perform this operation 7 times.

void sort() - This method should sort your deck and should simply consist of a call to the static method sort() of the Collections class. This Collections.sort() method will sort your ArrayList since your Card class implements the Comparable interface.

String toString() return a string with all the cards separated by a |. Insert a newline after every 15 cards.

Main Method

Your main method should :

Be in a third class, not Card or Deck

Instantiate a new deck of cards

Shuffle the cards

Output the shuffled (randomized) cards to a JavaFX Dialog.

Sort the cards.

Output the sorted cards to a JavaFX Dialog.

You can find a detailed introduction to JavaFX Dialogs here

In order to use a JavaFX Dialog, you must use the following format for your main class:

public class Lab8 extends Application { public static void main(String[] args) { Application.launch(); } public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception { //All main method code should go here } }
