For this project, you will create an animation using The Theater that portrays a personal interest or solves a problem that you choose. Your program should demonstrate the object-oriented programming and software engineering skills and knowledge you have developed throughout the year.
Use your knowledge of object-oriented programming, data structures, and algorithms to create an animation using The Theater:
- Use inheritance and polymorphism – Create a superclass that represents shared attributes and behaviors with at least two subclasses that are more specific versions or variations of the superclass.
- Method decomposition – Use overloaded, overridden, and private methods to implement different versions of the same behavior, variations of a superclass behavior, and to improve code organization.
- Use at least two data structures - Use at least two 1D or 2D arrays or ArrayLists to store elements that are manipulated using loops and conditionals.
- Implement one or more algorithms – Implement one or more algorithms that use loops and two-way or multi-selection statements with compound Boolean expressions to analyze the data.
- Create a visualization – Create an animation that portrays a personal interest or solves a problem that you choose using objects, data structures, and methods.
- Document your code – Use comments to explain the purpose of the methods and code segments and note any preconditions and postconditions.
We decided to make an animation based on an online fashion store as we enjoyed online shopping. The user story we identified was an online shopper trying to visualize outfits online. It helped us to plan what we needed to do by giving us guidelines on what people would want to knoaw about each piece of clothing.
