Game Start

Winning condition

Upgrade to two players Snap

To allow two players to play Snap, the program has been improved by creating an abstract class Player. HumanPlayer and ComputerPlayer inherit from Player and they can have different implementation for the getResponse() method. HumanPlayer is allowed to press ENTER to draw a card in their turn, while ComputerPlayer was set to draw card automatically. The winning state is determined when snap occurs in their turn.

Timer for Snap opportunity

To make the entire card game more exciting, a timer has been created. When there is a snap opportunity for HumanPlayer, they have 2 seconds to submit the word "snap" in order to win. If they do not type it in time, they will miss the chance to win.
