Triple A Games

Inspiration

We were inspired by the appeal of many arcades. They provide many short, simple games that can usually be played with a friend or solo. This was the inspiration of this project, as if it were an arcade that kept score for friendly competition.

What it does

It keeps track of a cumulative score between the games that you and a friend (or the computer) play.

How we built it

All of the code for the project was built in Java using the Java Swing framework. We mainly used IntelliJ to test our code, and GitHub to share it.

Challenges we ran into

Our biggest challenge was the Trivia game. With Java Swing, the code runs all the way through, so making the question windows by iteration was difficult. Originally, all of the windows appeared at the very beginning, and it took some work to fix that.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The ability to play against a computer is an enjoyable part of this program. It only selects options randomly, but it is still difficult to implement a "Computer Player."

What we learned

We learned Java's Swing framework, and for those who had some experience with it, we learned even more about formatting GUI or adding images.
