I decided to code a little cricket game for my E71, a la IPL. To begin with, I thought I'll start with designing my player classes. I've come up with the following classes:
public abstract class Player {
private Team team;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private boolean isRightHanded;
private String fieldingPosition;
// all players bat
public void bat() {
// ... implementation ...
}
// all players field
public void field() {
if(fieldingPosition.equals(FieldingPosition.WICKETKEEPER)
keepWickets();
else
field(fieldingPosition);
}
}
public interface Bowler {
// Given that each player bowls differently, action, guide, etc.
public void bowl();
}All this is fine, until I decided we can add a few new characteristics. In which case, some players will need their own classes. Par example:
public class TurbanedMumbaiIndianOffSpinner extends Player implements Bowler {
public void slapPlayer(Player p) {
// ... implementation ...
p.isSlapped(this);
}
}
public class AppamLikeBowlers implements Bowler {
private boolean radarOn;
public AppamLikeBowlers {
radarOn = false;
}
public void cry() {
// ... implementation ...
}
public void isSlapped(Player slappingPlayer) {
cry();
}
}Making some progress, I guess.
