Assignment - GwentStone Game

Presentation of the game

This game consists of a multitude of cards, heroes and commands. The cards on the game table attack each other, but they can also attack the heroes. Several games can be played, and each game has several rounds, respectively turns. There are also two players. For all this, I created different classes, with specific fields and methods.

Implementation

Types of classes used:

• classes similar to those already created in which the necessary data for playing the game are retained (I created these classes and made a copy constructor in each one so as not to modify the data from the initial classes)

• classes for each card type: Minion, Environment, Hero (In these classes I created ArrayLists with names of cards, by some categories, because it was easy for me to identify what type a card is)

• classes for displaying in json format (classes for normal output and for error output)

• classes for the player and the current game (Game class contains the table, number of rounds and turns and also the index of the player who has not yet finished his turn. Player class contains the hand for each player and the value for "mana")

• classes for error checking and statistics (the class for errors contains methods for commands where errors may appear, and the class for statistics keeps the number of games won by each player, but also the total number of games played)

• the "Solve Commands" class handles each action separately

I the given main I created an object play game that calls a method for resolving all the actions in game. Then, this function identify each particular command and call the right method (with suggestive name).

I went through all the games, respectively all the commands in a game, creating a new Game object (named currentGame) at each game start and also two new players. I took the decks with which each player plays this game and mix them.

For debug commands, I extracted what was necessary to be displayed and wrote accordingly in json format, using ArrayNode or ObjectNode.

For action commands, first I checked all the cases of errors, calling a method, and then I made the attacks or used the skills according to the command.

To make it easier for me to display in json format each result of the commands, I created a method that receive a card and return an ObjectNode that contains all the information about that and also a method that receive a list of cards and returns an ArrayNode which contains all the cards in the desired form.

Every time I had to use the ability of a card, I called the method created in the class of the type of that card, giving it the right parameters.
