Fox in A Hole

Inspiration

We found a challenging logic puzzle from one of our professors, and we decided to convert it into a game with graphics and everything.

What it does

There are five holes. One of them will have a fox inside, and the fox may only move to the adjacent holes. The user will then be able to inspect a hole of their choice. If the user successfully picks the correct hole, the fox will be caught, and a caught message will be displayed.

How I built it

Java

Challenges I ran into

We had to learn how to create a GUI in Java, as well as figure out how to get our JButton objects to respond to user input. We also had to create a music file class that would take in music input and play it in the program. We ran out of time to create an end state for the game, so right now there is no final end state.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We made a functional button system, music, and fox movement!

What I learned

A LOT of Java GUI.

What's next for Fox in A Hole

Some next steps to expand the puzzle are to change the number of holes that the fox can move around in, or include a variation where the holes are shaped in a circle formation. Also, implement an end game state, and and a prettier GUI.
