A HY-252 “Object-Oriented Programming” course project – Phase B (2023/24)
This repository hosts the second milestone (Phase B) of a Java implementation
of the classic board game “Sorry!”.
Phase A delivered the basic skeleton, UML and reports; Phase B adds the complete
gameplay loop, graphical interface and card logic.
- Game Overview
- Implemented Features (Phase B)
- Project Structure
- Screenshots
Two players (Red & Yellow) compete to bring both pawns from START to
HOME by drawing cards from a shared deck.
Each card dictates how far a pawn can move and may introduce special rules
(e.g. move backwards, swap, split the move).
Design goals
- MVC architecture (Model / View / Controller separation)
- Intuitive GUI with drag-free, button-driven actions
- Accurate reproduction of “Sorry!” rules (card effects, collisions, slide zones, home stretch restrictions)
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Game Loop | Turn management, card deck (45 cards), reshuffle when empty |
| Pawns & Board | 2 pawns per player, 60-tile circular track, slide tiles, start & home area |
| Card Logic | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 & Sorry! cards with correct behaviour (split-move, backwards, swap) |
| Collision Rules | Landing on opponent pawn sends it back to START; safe in home stretch |
| GUI | Java Swing window 900×700, board background, cards panel, info box, modal dialogs for multi-choice cards |
| UX | Name entry screen, live turn indicator, remaining-cards counter, win banner |
| Persistence | N/A (single session) |
| Documentation | UML class diagram (UML_DIAGRAMS.pdf) and course report (HY252-Project_2023_Report_Template_PHASE_B.docx) |
