Title: Pancet

Copyright: Copyright (c) 2005

Description:

Pancet is a game played with four bowls and eight balls. Two bowls are controlled by each player. Each bowl starts with two stones in it. Each player takes turns picking up the stones out of one of their bowls and distributing them clockwise around the the bowls. If the last stone lands in an empty bowl, then it is removed from play. If a player has no stones in either of his bowls when it is his turn, then he loses.

The computer version here pits a human player against the program. The program keeps a self pruning move tree of moves and learns as it plays.

Constructor Detail

Pancet

public Pancet()
Method Detail

init

public void init()
Initializes the applet.
This sets up the screen layout, loads the bowl images, instantiates the control panel and move library, and creates the game's thread.

run

public void run()
In order to maintain animation timing during button ActionEvents, everything has to be run in an accessible thread. Start the game off with the setup animation.

Specified by:
run in interface java.lang.Runnable

start

public void start()

stop

public void stop()

pause

public static void pause(int ms)
pause(ms) is a wrapper for sleep().

Parameters:
ms - int Sleep time in milliseconds

getAppletInfo

public java.lang.String getAppletInfo()
Get Applet information

actionPerformed

public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent ae)
This catches the action events from the two buttons on the control panel. It controls the move cycle with each button click performing a human and then a computer move. The game can end and restart in the the process of performing this cycle. Therefore the last player to move in the last game will be the second in the new game.

Move validation is performed here. If the human player attempts to pick an empty bowl, the cycle is broken and the message to try again is sent back.

Specified by:
actionPerformed in interface java.awt.event.ActionListener
Parameters:
ae - ActionEvent This is going specify the bowl D or bowl C buttons
