Implementation of a Solitaire card game with JavaFX.
Demonstration application used in the book Introduction to Software Design with Java, 2nd edition. Release 1.2 is consistent with the 2nd edition of the book. Release 1.0 is consistent with the 1st edition.
This repository is configured to build automatically in Eclipse with Java 21 and JavaFX 21.
However, when first imported, the project will show a compilation error because the JavaFX dependency is missing.
To add JavaFX:
- Download JavaFX 21;
- Create a new
User Library
underEclipse -> Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Build Path -> User Libraries -> New
. Name itJavaFX21
and include the jars under thelib
folder from the location where you extracted the JavaFX download.
The project should then build properly.
Right-click on the project and select Run As -> Java Application
. Select Solitaire
from the list.
To run the tests, select Run As - > JUnit Test
.
There are also two driver programs, Driver
and CrashTest
, which run the application in headless mode (that is, without the GUI).
- Click on the deck of cards (top left) to draw/reveal a new card.
- Drag and drop cards to the foundation piles (at the top) or to piles in the tableau (at the bottom). Cards in foundations piles must be of the same suit, in strictly consecutive ascending rank. Cards in the tableau must be in strictly consecutive decreasing rank, but in alternating suit color, as illustrated above.
- Press Enter to automatically play a move.
- Press Backspace to undo the last move.
