Assignment 2

The goal of this assignment is to guide you through the process of creating a new java file where you will be working for the next several weeks.

Open Eclipse. Follow the directions for compiling and running the code, if you haven’t already done so.

Make sure you go to window->preferences-> check "Save all modified resources automatically prior to manual build."

Open PersonACE_xx.java, and save it as PersonACE_<INSERT YOUR USER NUMBER HERE>.java. Insert your name at ~line 32. Change the two occurrences of “xx” (~lines 37 and 48) to be your user number. Uncomment the print statement at ~line 69, inserting your user number. Save the file. It should compile the file. (If there are any errors, they will appear in the bottom window. If nothing appears, compilation was successful.)

Make the changes described around line 72 in Demo.java. (*** In addition to changing the 01’s to your number, you also need to change NUM_PEOPLE[1] to be NUM_PEOPLE[yourNumber].) Save it. It should compile the file. (If there are any errors, they will appear in the bottom window. If nothing appears, compilation was successful.)

Copy the two animations that you made for Assignment 1 into the art/anims directory. They should replace the two dance animations already there.

Run the demo from a command prompt, using the directions that were handed out. The command line to run your demo is:

“runner –numPeople <insert user number here> 1” So, for example, I would type:

“runner –numPeople 01 1”.

With the demo (graphics) window running and both it and the command window visible on screen, take a screen shot of the system (see below) and email it to me as a gif or jpg.

To take a screenshot, open Photoshop and leave it in the background. (***Some machines may need to be restarted before Photoshop will work.) Arrange the screens in the way you’d like them to appear. Press Ctrl-PrntScrn, which will copy an image of the entire screen to the clipboard. Switch over to Photoshop. Hit Ctrl-N for a new file. Once it’s open, hit Ctrl-V to paste the contents of the clipboard into the new file. Then you can Save As a jpg or gif. Email it to wmt@uci.edu before 3:00pm on October 14.

If you have any trouble, ask your classmates or email wmt@uci.edu and I’ll do my best to help.
