An Educational Test-Driven exercise in Object-Oriented design using Java Swing.
This project gives you the opportunity to predict the result of a Hockey game using Java Swing, but it is really designed to practice object-oriented design patterns with each added feature. The associated project also is organized to help facilitate a Test-Driven Development approach.
Clone it, build it, run it, and run a few games. Then, when you understand what the app does, explore how the code is structured, and imagine new features you would like to add using classic and modern design patterns.
Create a feature request in the form of an "issue" for this project, assign it to yourself, and get to work! Or, fork this project, and make it your own!
The best part about this project will be the feedback provided by other developers, and the opportunity to peer-review other features developed. So remember to be courteous and generous with your feedback and suggestions!
GitHub makes it easy to clone this repo on your Linux, Windows or Mac operating system.
Using your SSH key, enter the command git clone [email protected]:Bryan-Culver/hockeyApp.git in GitBash or any terminal.
If you're using HTTPS still, the command is git clone https://github.com/Bryan-Culver/hockeyApp.git in your terminal.
Currently, this project is a simple Java Swing project. Use your IDE to compile the program with at least JavaSE-17. No other versions of Java have been tested at this time. As it is compiled, an executable is generated which will run the app.
When you run the app, you will see one Window that will display inputs for the home team and away team.
As this project grows, more screens and "Views" will be required and will eventually be available.
Please reference the "Contributing.md" doc provided in this repository.
You'll notice the .gitignore file has several file types that are specific to IDEs. Any additional files that your editor will create for metadata should be added to the .gitignore file.
