Word Game (Java)

Basic Steps in Creating your Program

Plan your logic before working on the project and review the syntax you will use in the project. Think about how you want the output to be displayed to the user. You might want to tell the user what the program does and what type of input you expect from the user. You interface structure could do this. Select names of the variables you will use in the program.

Create a JAVA project Using Apache NetBeans IDE. And have the code window open to write the project code. Here are some instructions on creating the project.

Declare variables to hold input information.

Using the JOptionPane Concept. (Some programs might need just the Scanner. Create the project using the ant option and leave the main() in the project creation

Ask the user to enter some information requested and save the response to a variable. This could look like: name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog (Enter your name).

Use line spacing (i.e. ) to separate lines of output to make it easy for the user to read the information and have proper line length.

Documentation: All lines of code must be documented.

Use the syntax to designate lines in code as comments (//)

These comments can be at the end of a line of code or in a group definition at the beginning of a section of code. All methods and function need a group heading document.

Run the program using Run Project menu item. Debug the code, making sure all calculations are correct and the line spacing is suitable for readability.

Program Assignment

(must use import javax.swing.JoptionPane and the inputDialog)

Write a program that plays a word game with the user. The program should ask the user to enter the following:

His or Her Name

His or her age

The name of a city

The name of a college
