1 Introduction
This project (Project B), and the next one (Project C), will continue with the same theme introduced in
Project A - namely, an implementation of the game of Nim. Please refer to the Project A speci_cation
for a description of the game and its rules.
In Project A, a simple, single-class Java program was created to handle Nim's core gameplay mechanics.
Although it satis_ed the requirements, it did not make use of Java's powerful object-oriented design
methodology. Since the task was relatively small scale, this did not matter too much. However, for
larger scale projects, following object-oriented principles can signi_cantly enhance the modularity of a
program's code, and can make software maintenance and the addition of features a much easier task.
This is particularly relevant here, since Project C will build on the Project B design.
In the next two projects, the objective is to design and implement a more complete version of Nim,
making full use of Java's object-oriented paradigm. In this project, the game's basic structure will be
designed, and core features will be implemented. Project C will focus on adding more advanced features
to the game.
Key Knowledge Points Covered in Project B:
1. Design of the class structure for the project requires the knowledge of UML diagrams (taught in
Week 5).
2. Implementation requires understanding of Classes (taught in Week 4 - 6) and Arrays (taught in
Week 7).
If you would like to commence earlier than week 7, you may learn basics of Arrays by yourself.
2 Requirements
The system needs to maintain a game instance. Since only one game will be active at any given time,
only a single game instance is required. The system should also maintain a collection of players. Initially,
this collection will be empty - players will need to be added in order to play a game.
A game instance needs to have the following information associated with it:
_ A current stone count
1
_ An upper bound on stone removal
_ Two players
The system should allow for games of Nim to be played, with the rules of the game, and the players,
speci_ed by the user.
A player needs to have the following information associated with it:
_ A username
_ A given name
_ A family name
_ Number of games played
_ Number of games won
The system should allow players to be added. It should also allow for players to be deleted, or for their
details to be edited. Players should not be able to directly edit their game statistics, although they
should be able to reset them.
The game system, called `Nimsys', is a text based interactive program that reads and executes commands
from standard input (the keyboard) until an `exit' command is issued, which will terminate the program.
If a command produces output, it should be printed to standard output (the terminal).
When Nimsys is _rst executed, it should display a welcome message, followed by a blank line. A
command prompt (a `greater than' sign, i.e., >) should then be displayed.
In following description, all command line displays are put in a box. This is only for easier understanding
the format. The box should NOT be printed out by the your program, only the contents in
the box should be printed. The command prompt is illustrated below:
Welcome to Nim
>
At any given time, the system can be in one of two states - either a game is in progress, or no game
is in progress. Hereafter, these will be referred to as the `game' and `idle' states, respectively. (Note:
the states are just used to explain the mechanism of Nimsys. You don't need to create a variable called
`state' in your code).
When in the idle state, the system should accept the following commands. These commands are entered
at the Nimsys command prompt. If a command produces output, it should be printed immediately be-
low the line where the command was issued. After the command has executed, a new command prompt
should be displayed. This new command prompt should be separated from the previous command (and
its output, if any) by a single blank line.
Note that in the syntax descriptions below, a term enclosed in square brackets indicates an
optional parameter. The input is assumed to be always valid, but not always correct. Valid
input suggests that entered data have the same type of the corresponding variables, e.g., String data
are entered for String variables, integer data are entered for int variables. Correct input suggests
that the entered data can be correctly processed by the corresponding command, e.g., adding an existing
user and removing a nonexistent user are incorrect input. Unless otherwise stated, you are NOT
required to check validness, but you ARE required to check the correctness of the input,
as shown in the below examples.

1. addplayer - Allows new players to be added to the game. If a player with the given username
already exists, the system should indicate this, as shown in the example execution.
Syntax: addplayer username,family_name,given_name
Example Execution:
(a) add a new user:
>addplayer lskywalker,Skywalker,Luke
>
(b) add a user who already exists in the system
>addplayer lskywalker,Skywalker,Luke
The player already exists.
>
2. removeplayer - Allows players to be removed from the game. The username of the player to be
removed is given as an argument to the command. If no username is given, the command should
remove all players, but in this case, it should display a con_rmation question _rst. If a username
for a non-existent player is given, the system should indicate that the player does not exist. The
format of these messages is illustrated in the example execution below.
Syntax: removeplayer [username]
Example Execution:
(a) remove a nonexistent user
>removeplayer lskyrunner
The player does not exist.
>
(b) remove a user
>removeplayer lskywalker
>
(c) remove all users
>removeplayer
Are you sure you want to remove all players? (y/n)
y
>
3. editplayer - Allows player details to be edited. Note that the player's username cannot be changed
after the player is created. If a username for a non-existent player is given, the system should
indicate that the player does not exist, as illustrated in the example execution.
Syntax: editplayer username,new_family_name,new_given_name
Example Execution:
(a) edit a nonexistent user
>editplayer lskyrunner,Skywalker,Laurence
The player does not exist.
>
3
(b) edit a user
>editplayer lskywalker,Skywalker,Laurence
>
4. resetstats - Allows player statistics to be reset. The username of the player whose statistics are to
be reset is given as an argument to the command. If no username is given, the command should
reset all player statistics, but as with the `removeplayer' command, a con_rmation question should
be displayed in this case. If a username for a non-existent player is given, the system should indicate
that the player does not exist, as illustrated in the example execution.
Syntax: resetstats [username]
Example Execution:
(a) reset a nonexistent user
>resetstats lskyrunner
The player does not exist.
>
(b) reset a user
>resetstats lskywalker
>
(c) reset all users
>resetstats
Are you sure you want to reset all player statistics? (y/n)
y
>
5. displayplayer - Displays player information. The username of the player whose information is to
be displayed is given as an argument to the command. If no username is given, the command
should display information for all players, ordered by username. If a username for a non-existent
player is given, the system should indicate that the player does not exist, as illustrated in the
example execution. Please note when displaying player, the sequence of syntaxes of is
username,givenname, familyname,number of games played,number of games won.
Syntax: displayplayer [username]
Example Execution:
(a) display a nonexistent user
>displayplayer lskyrunner
The player does not exist.
>
(b) display a user
>displayplayer lskywalker
lskywalker,Luke,Skywalker,3 games,3 wins
>
4
(c) display all users
>displayplayer
dvader,Darth,Vader,7 games,1 wins
hsolo,Han,Solo,4 games,3 wins
lskywalker,Luke,Skywalker,3 games,3 wins
>
6. rankings - Outputs a list of player rankings. Players should be ranked by the percentage of games
they have won. Round the percentages to the nearest integer value. Ties should be resolved by
sorting on usernames. Only the top 10 players should be displayed, if there are more than 10. The
output should be formatted according to the example below. For the purposes of formatting the
output, you may assume that no player has played more than 99 games. Note that the vertical
lines need to be aligned, with a single space appearing on either side. This means that in the _rst
column you must have 5 characters consisting of a number, '%', and spaces. The _rst column
must be left-justi_ed.
Syntax: rankings
Example Execution:
(a) rank all users
>rankings
100% | 03 games | Luke Skywalker
75% | 04 games | Han Solo
14% | 07 games | Darth Vader
>
7. startgame - Creates and commences a game of Nim. The game's rules, and the usernames of
the two players, are provided as arguments. You may assume that the initial stones and up-
perbound arguments are valid and correct. However, if at least one (i.e. one or two) of the
usernames doesn't correspond to an actual player, the system should indicate this by the output
\One of the players does not exist.", and the game should not commence.
Otherwise, the `startgame' command will commence a game - ie. after executing it, the system is in
the game state. When a game is in progress, the system should proceed according to the gameplay
mechanics discussed in Project A - ie. players should, in an alternating fashion, be asked to enter
the number of stones they would like to remove, with the game state being updated accordingly. In
this project, bounds on stone removal should be enforced - that is, players should only be allowed
to remove between 1 and N stones inclusive, where N is the upper bound or the number of stones
remaining, whichever is smaller. Once all the stones are gone, a winner should be announced, and
the statistics for the two players should be updated accordingly. The system should then return to
the idle state, and a command prompt should be displayed again.
Syntax: startgame initialstones,upperbound,username1,username2
Example Execution:
(a) start game with a non-existent user
>startgame 10,3,lskyrunner,hsolo
One of the players does not exist.
>
5
(b) start a game
>startgame 10,3,lskywalker,hsolo
Initial stone count: 10
Maximum stone removal: 3
Player 1: Luke Skywalker
Player 2: Han Solo
10 stones left: * * * * * * * * * *
Luke's turn - remove how many?
3
7 stones left: * * * * * * *
Han's turn - remove how many?
4
Invalid move. You must remove between 1 and 3 stones.
7 stones left: * * * * * * *
Han's turn - remove how many?
3
4 stones left: * * * *
Luke's turn - remove how many?
3
1 stones left: *
Han's turn - remove how many?
0
Invalid move. You must remove between 1 and 1 stones.
1 stones left: *
Han's turn - remove how many?
1
Game Over
Luke Skywalker wins!
>
8. exit - Exits the Nimsys program.
Syntax: exit
Note that before you call the exit method in Java using [login to view URL](0); , you must
print a blank line _rst.
(a) exit the system
>exit

As was described earlier, it is important that your design makes good use of object-oriented design prin-
ciples. This is particularly relevant when it comes to implementing the actual gameplay. In a real game,
play proceeds with each player performing the action of removing some number of stones from the game.
Your design should reect this structure.
Don't worry about changing your output for singular/plural entities - ie. you should output `1 games',
`1 wins', `1 stones', etc.
Checklist For Solution
_ Blank line and whitespace related issue.
_ Make sure between the output of last command (including indication for nonexistent users,
con_rmation for all-user operations, display results, and game results) and the next command
prompt, there is one blank line.
_ Make sure there is a whitespace between (y/n) and Are you sure... sentence.
_ Make sure that there is NO whitespace after each comma, e.g., when displaying users, it
should be davader,Darth instead of davader, Darth.
_ Make sure that in game state, there is one blank line before the Initial stone count...
and one blank line after the Player 2:....
_ Make sure that in game state, if a user input an invalid move, there is one blank line between
the user-input move and the indication sentence Invalid move....
_ Make sure that an extra blank line is printed out before calling [login to view URL](0); when
command exit is entered.
_ Ranking display related issues.
_ Make sure that the ranking is in a descending order of winning ratio.
_ Make sure that winning ratio is rounded to the nearest integer value.
_ Make sure that users with the same winning ratio are sorted according to the alphabetical
order of the user name, e.g., if username ethan and username tom have the same ratio, you
should rank ethan the higher place.
_ Make sure that the _rst and the second column strictly have 5 and 10 characters, respectively.
_ Display player related issues.
_ Make sure that the displayed list is sorted in an alphabetical order of the username.
_ Game related issues.
_ Make sure to correctly update the statistics for players when game ends.
_ Make sure to check valid move by comparing the move to the smaller one between the current
number of stones and the upper bound for one move.
_ Make sure that after an invalid move, it is still the turn of the player who made the invalid
move.
_ Command line prompt related issues.
_ Make sure that the command prompt appears again after each command is issued (except the
exit command).
_ Make sure that only one command prompt is displayed after a game is over and the system
returns to the idle state.
_ Other issues.
_ Make sure the boxes around above example execution are NOT printed out, they are just for
better illustration.

Important Notes About Submission
Computer automatic test will be conducted on your program by automatically compiling, running, and
comparing your outputs for several test cases with generated expected outputs. The automatic test will
deem your output wrong if your output does not match the expected output, even if the difference is just
having an extra space or missing a comma. Therefore it is crucial that your output follows exactly
the same format shown in the examples above.
The syntax import is available for you to use standard java packages. However, please DO NOT use the
package syntax to customize your source _les. The automatic test system cannot deal with customized
packages.
Please use ONLY ONE Scanner object throughout your program. Otherwise the automatic test will
cause your program to generate exceptions and terminate. The reason is that in the automatic test,
multiple lines of test inputs are sent all together to the program. As the program receives the inputs, it
will pass them all to the currently active Scanner object, leaving the rest Scanner objects nothing to read
and hence cause run-time exception. Therefore it is crucial that your program has only one Scanner
object. Arguments such as \It runs correctly when I do manual test, but fails under automatic test"
will not be accepted.
3 Your Tasks
1. Draw a UML class diagram for Nimsys based on the above information. For each class you need to
identify all its instance variables and methods (including public and private modi_ers) along with
their corresponding data types and list of parameters. You should also identify all relationships
between classes.
2. Implement Nimsys in Java according to the above speci_cation and in accordance with your UML
class diagram.
How you edit, compile and run your Java program is up to you. You are free to use any editor or
development environment. However, you need to ensure that your program compiles and runs
correctly on the CSSE student servers, using build 1.6.0 of Oracle's (as Sun Microsystems has
been acquired by Oracle in 2010) Java Compiler and Runtime Environment, i.e. javac and java pro-
grams. You should also remove any Ctrl-M characters which may be inserted if you edit your source _le
under a Windows environment - this can be done using the dos2unix command, available on the CSSE
student servers. Submit your program to the CSSE student servers a couple of days before the deadline
to ensure that they work (you can still improve your program). \I can't get my code to work on
the student server but it worked on my Windows machine" is not an acceptable excuse for
late submissions.
If you want compile the source _les on server, make sure the Java environment is set to 1.6.0. If not,
please ensure the ~=.bashrc _les has been edited to specify the $PATH variable, and source ~/.bashrc.
