[Java] [Strategy design pattern] The upcoming Guitar Hero XIII: Legends of Rock

Question

[Java] [Strategy design pattern] The upcoming Guitar Hero XIII: Legends of Rock needs a player configuration system. Guitar Hero XIII lets you play three different characters (Slash, Jimi Hendrix, and Angus Young). Each character can play one of three available guitars (Gibson SG, Fender Telecaster or Gibson Les Paul) and perform a unique solo act (Put the Guitar on Fire, Jump off stage, Smash the Guitar).

1) Implement a player configuration system in Java using the Strategy design pattern.

2) Some guitar players trash their guitars on stage. Modify code so players can change guitars on the fly.

3) Draw a class diagram of the design.

Explanation / Answer

1)

Here’s a class containing the Java Main method to help you on your way. Note that the contents of this class are not exhaustive with respect to your assignment -- add more features to the code below to fully test/demonstrate your solution.

public class GuitarHero {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        GameCharacter player1 = new GameCharacterSlash();
        GameCharacter player2 = new GameCharacterHendrix();
        player1.playGuitar();
        player2.playGuitar();
        player1.playSolo();
        player2.playSolo();
    }
}

Hint1: You should use the Java Duck example from Chapter 1 of HFDP.
Hint2: It helps if you draw a class diagram *before* you start coding. (you can use a tool for this such as tinyUML -- the uml link on our website contains links to lots of lighweight UML editing programs)
