Compsci 100, Boggle FAQ

1. How should we display the words found by the computer player on the GUI/Display?

   You can do this in one of two ways: by adding code to BoggleGUI or by calling the appropriate code in the GUI when finding words from your AutoPlayer.

   • To do the first, you'll find where all the words are obtained from the IAutoPlayer object. Then add code something like this.

        for(String s : setOfWordsFound){
            computerArea.showWord(s,myModel.cellsForWord(s),computerPlayer);
        }
     

   • To do the second, every class that extends AutoPlayer which your auto-player classes should, has an inherited myView object. You can then write code like this from within the methods that find all words in your auto-player.

        myView.showWord(s,list,this);
     

     In that code the this is the IAutoPlayer and the list is a list of board-cells built up as each word is found.
