This is the first BlueJ lab.
It has TWO BlueJ Projects in it. Both are germain to the Chapter 1 in the doc folder.
You will follow the chapter first in Shapes folder and then in Picture folder.
BUT you need to open these projects, NOT the ones that came with your BlueJ download. Use
Project -> Open Project... to find your dev/FirstLab-Shapes folder. Open Shapes there. (and the same is
for Picture).
Running your code via TESTS is crucial. Note carefully the instructions on how to run your code in the PictureTest class. This is the way professionals do it.
Be sure to
- Read this file carefully.
- For the first section of the lab, open the BlueJ project file Shapes/project.bluej from Finder
- the README.TXT file in Shapes/README.TXT
- notice how the README follows what was lectured
- For the second section, use Picture/package.bluej
- the README.TXT file in Picture/README.TXT
- Use the DrawTest() method in the PictureTest class to run the various tries at your house drawing
- Edit the draw() method in Picture class to get the drawing instructions right
Object of lab is to follow the chapter reading the Chapter 1 pdf in the doc folder. (and Draw a House!)
Can you draw a house with a tree along side? (think trunk and circle or a tall, skinny triangle.)
When finished, post a screen shot of your house to the slack CHATTER channel.
