At this point, you should be creating object class definitions and working on code for Project #2 (which was assigned before the break).

Don't bother fixing or making improvements to Project #1 (nor to your q1/r1/s1 code); instead, work on Project #2, to get acquainted with Object-Oriented software design. (If your p2 code fixes something that was broken in your p1 code, it will count for both!)

Don't try to do all of Project #2 at once!

"WhiteBoard"

Instead, just build one or two object classes, get them to work, add some more, and fulfill the Project #2 requirements step-by-step, running and perfecting each small change as you go.

When you have completed a new piece of code to show off -- or if you need help -- call me for a "Code Review" session!

Project #2: Do not copy your p1 code. Instead, use it as a guide to write new object-based code. Start with object class definitons such as: a "Hero" class a "Dog" class a "Monster" class a "House" class a "Tree" class     // You may use different names for these classes. Each class has properties for that object (to remove globals!), and each class does methods such as: void show()         // display the object. void move()         // move this object independently,     // OR // void chase( float x2, float y2 )   // make it chase coordinates (x2,y2) boolean near( float x2, float y2 ) // return true iff it is near (x2,y2) void reset()     // plus any other necessary methods (or constructors) Then, write new object-based code to use these classes.

  Please have a preliminary version of your code for Project #2
  available in your folder during the week of March 23^rd,
  and be prepared to present your p2 code during ^"Code Review^".
