Requirements and Specifications

Introduction

Higher/Lower is a single-player card game that uses a standard shuffled deck of playing cards from which a number of cards have been dealt face-down. The object of the game is to turn over the first card revealing its value and then to predict whether the next card to be turned over is higher or lower in value than the previous. For example, if the game consists of 5 cards, the initial state of play might be as shown below, where the 4♥ is visible and the remaining 4 cards are face-down from left-to-right.

4♥ ! ! ! ! Your score = 0

The player is now invited to say whether they think that the next card will be higher or lower than a 4. In this instance they might guess “higher” and the next card is revealed as the 9♣. As the user’s guess was correct, the game continues.

4♥ 9♣ ! ! ! Correct guess, your score = 1

This time the user guesses that the next card will be lower than a 9, but when the card is turned over, it is revealed to be the 10♠. As they have guessed incorrectly, the game is over, and their final score is confirmed.

4♥ 9♣ 10♠ ! ! Incorrect guess, your final score = 1

If the player successfully turns over all cards with correct guesses, the game automatically ends. Where consecutive cards are the same value, for example Q♥ followed by Q♣, then the player is guaranteed to lose as the second Queen is neither higher nor lower than the first one.

In this game, the Ace is the highest value available so that the values in order from lowest to

highest are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, A.

Note that your application will be a pure text version – with keyboard input. There is no

requirement for a graphical or mouse-based solution.

Required Functionality

There are 7 levels

• Level 1: The facilities to create a new game are present and the game can be set up in its initial state, with 5 cards dealt from a shuffled deck, one of which is shown face-up (i.e. its value is on display) with the remaining cards face-down. You can use any appropriate text representation for the cards.
• Level 2: The basic game mechanism is in place. Users can select “higher” or “lower” when each card is displayed, and the next card is revealed or the game ends depending on their choice.
• Level 3: A full playable game is available. The application is able to prompt the player when the game is won (all cards successfully guessed) or lost (a wrong guess has been made).
• Level 4: Before the game begins, the user is prompted for the number of cards to be used. For example, if the user chooses 10 cards, then one is displayed face up and 9 correct guesses need to be made for a winning game.
• Level 5: The user can “stick” by declining to guess either “higher” or “lower”. In this case the game is won, and the user is awarded a score according to the number of correct guesses made so far. A high-score table is displayed after each game showing the top 5 winning performances so far.
• Level 6: On completion of a game (whether the player has won or lost) the application is able to replay the game guess by guess, with the user prompting each replayed move by a keypress.
• Level 7: The application is able to play a complete game in “demonstration mode”, where all 52 shuffled cards are dealt. In demonstration mode, the user’s only input is to press a key to begin the next move and the demonstration continues until an incorrect guess is made or all 52 cards have been successfully revealed. A separate “Demonstration” high score table should show the computer’s top 5 demonstration performances.

Deliverables

The deliverables for this assessment are as follows:

1. “HigherLower” Application – A Zip file containing all code developed for the application. The easiest way to create this is to Zip the contents of the src folder of your Java project. Each Java file should also be provided as a PDF document. Please include comments throughout code.
2. Design and Development Document – A PDF document that contains a written account of the design and development decisions made during the development of your application. You should provide evidence of your consideration of data structures used and algorithms developed, with justification for your decisions and rejection of alternatives.
3. Testing Document – A PDF document that describes your testing regime with details of any test classes developed. This document should also describe steps you have taken to ensure the security of your implementation. Please do not use advanced method of coding, just amateur level, Thank you.
