  Ending Game State

Inspiration

There's a game called Get10. It's fun. But the browser version stops you at 10 and the mobile version has crappy ads. So I decided to make my own version that would let me play as long as I wanted.

What it does

Opens a JFrame in which the game process runs.

How I built it

I used the skeleton of a Model/View/Controller setup from class. I created my own art resources from scratch using GIMP.

Challenges I ran into

Getting the back end up to snuff was surprisingly tricky - it took many tries to get the tap function to correctly identify which squares to tap whilst still terminating its while loop. It was also a challenge getting the images to display correctly, due to the layout-less nature of the JLayeredPane I chose.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Overcoming the aforementioned challenges.

What I learned

I had to learn how to create action listeners with two dimensions of input using reflection. I also learned much more about how to use JLayeredPane.

What's next for Get15

With more time, I will work on non-core functionality and aesthetic tweaks. An example of the former is automatic loss detection (which I tried and failed to implement today), while the latter would involve some manner of animation during the collapse function. I will also experiment with different schema for random tile generation, and the possibility of smaller or larger challenge grids.
