HW07: RPS Tournament due Mon 04 Mar 10:00

Allowed and Disallowed Resources

• The Java Command Sheets handed out in class (and also available here: https://josephus.hsutx.edu/classes/all/commandsheets/).
• Examples and sample code found here: https://josephus.hsutx.edu/classes/p2/source/. NOTE: The same examples can be cloned from this repository: https://tsergeant@bitbucket.org/tsergeant/p2_examples.git
• A Java compiler with or without an IDE. The text editor you use can provide syntax highlighting, but must not generate code.
• Video instructions provided in Canvas as part of this course. You MAY NOT USE any other video resources.
• The course notes that accompany the video instructions which can be found here: https://josephus.hsutx.edu/classes/p2/coursenotes.php
• The official Java Documentation found here: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/
• Any handouts provided by the instructor as part of this course.
• Your own course notes
• Your instructor
• Discussions about the assignment with other students as long as you never look at the code produced by another student and you never receive instructions about solving the homework. That is, discussions need to be about concepts and understanding the technologies and not about how to solve the particular problem posed in this assignment.

You may NOT use/access:

• Resources not expressly listed above, including, but not limited to, the following ...
• Source code not provided as part of this assignment. (Obviously, this includes, but is not limited to, source code written by other students whether current or in the past).
• Code-generating tools (of which ChatGPT is one example).
• Any web sites not directly linked to from the homework assignment.

Failure to abide by these guidelines will result in a zero for the assignment and the incident will be reported to the university provost as a violation of the university academic integrity policy. A second incident of academic dishonesty (whether from this course or another computer science course) will result in an F in the course.

Instructions

Take these steps in hw07:

1. Add an abstract play() method (no return type and no parameters) to your RPSTournament class. This method will be used to stage the tournament. As you know there can be various types of tournaments: round robin, single elimination, double elimination, etc. You will also need to make the RPSTournament class abstract as a result of this change.

2. Create a new class called RoundRobinTournament that inherits from RPSTournament. In the new class provide a definition for the play() method that has every player in the tournament play a rock-paper-scissors bout with every other player in the tournament.

3. Modify the RPSPlayer compareTo() method so that instead of comparing players by name it compares them by their win/loss record. We would say that player1 is greater than player2 if player1 has more wins than player2. If player1 and player2 have the same number of wins then we would say player1 is greater than player2 if player1 has fewer losses than player2. If player1 and player2 have the same number of wins and the same number of losses then they are equal.

4. In the driver create an instance of the RoundRobinTournament class and add seven players to the tournament. Then play the tournament. Once all games have been played sort the players (best record first) and display all players including their name, number of wins and number of losses.

As you work, document your code and commit at appropriate times. When you complete your work be sure to push all committed changes to bitbucket.

Grading

Your program should be completely working and should follow all of the programming conventions named in class and explained in http://josephus.hsutx.edu/classes/all/javaconventions/ (including the use of comments that conform to the JavaDoc guidelines).

The instructor will grade your work based on what you have pushed to the hosted homework repository you have shared. For all assignments the program is due before the beginning of class on the due date. Repositories that show a commit time after that time will be graded as late.
