Instructions

• Build a two player PokemonBattle game/main method using your Pokemon object classes.
  • Two players will alternate turns on the same computer.

Game Phase 1 - Game Setup

• In the first phase of the game, each player will choose one Pokemon to battle with. There should be a menu offered to each player to choose one Pokemon to battle with.
  • This will be similar to your menu for choosing Pokemon in Assignment 4.
  • The program should ask Player 1 to choose their Pokemon, then save it, and give an acknowledgement message.
  • Then it should ask Player 2 to choose their Pokemon, save it, and give an acknowledgement message.
• After both Pokemon are chosen, the game should randomly choose which Player goes first.

Game Phase 2 - Battling

• In the second (main game play) phase of the game, the two players should alternate entering commands to attack until one Pokemon "faints" (reaches 0 HP).

• The program should say something like: "It is Player 1's turn, what do you want to do?"

• The options each player has during their turn should be:

  1. perform fastAttack
  2. perform specialAttack
  3. pass

• fastAttack and pass are always allowed.

• A player must "pass" at least three times in order to build up energy for a specialAttack.

  • You will have to develop a way to keep track of how many passes a player has made and when to allow the specialAttack as this is not part of the Pokemon objects.
  • After specialAttack is performed, the amount of accumulated passes should be reduced by 3.

• The attacking functionality should use the Pokemon's performFastAttack and performSpecialAttack methods. The attacking player's Pokemon will call the method, with the other player's Pokemon as the "victim" parameter Pokemon.

• The String returned by these methods should print to the screen.

• You'll have to build a way to check the victim Pokemon's HP (hitPnts) after being attacked. This will be the sentinel value for the battle loop.

  • Once a Pokemon has its hitPnts reduced to 0, that signals the end of the game, with the other player as the winner.
  • Make sure to stop the game immediately when a Pokemon faints. There should not be another turn allowed!

Game Phase 3 - Game Over

• Once a player's Pokemon has fainted, the game should end and print out a congratulatory message to the winner.
