NJ Shore Simulation

October 24, 2002, 10:30pm typo in signature of setmaxAge() function fixed

October 23, 2002, 6:30pm. We have had to fix a typo in class World.java which was included in the old proj2.tar file posted previously to now. There now is a NEW proj2.tar file for you to download that contains this fixed World.java file.

If you have not made any changes in our proj2 files yet, then just delete the old downloaded ones, download the new proj2.tar (pointed to below), and use the new files.

If you have made changes to World.java (the only file you should have changed, if any), then rename your World.java file (to save it), delete all the other old downloaded files and download the new proj2.tar. You will have to merge your changes into our new World.java file (which is the same as the old version except for 2 lines of code).
End of Oct23rd post

We will be writing a simulation of the environment at the Jersey shore which is described in the above document. Please direct questions of clarification to the newsgroup. To begin the assignment you need to think of your class hierarchy design; this can be started without our gui implementation which should be ready by October 19th, 2002 (or before, hopefully).

The code supplied by us that you will need to implements this assignment is provided in the following tar file; it consists of several *.java files described in the problem statement.

• To get the single "tar file" proj2.tar . In order to "untar" a tar file, say tar -xvf "myFileName.tar"
• Javadocs for this code can be found here. Use these documents and the corresponding comments in the code from the tarfile as examples of how to document your hierarchy.
• October 19, 2002, noon: to get the files Gui.class and Gui$1.class please copy them from remus, using the following commands:

  cp /ug/s7/www/Public/cs314/f2002/projs/java/Gui*.class .
  

  
  If you are running the program on your PC or Mac, you will have to download these class files.

We have a working version of the Gui class now for use at the labs and on PC's running windows (we have tested this on windows NT) and on a Mac running OSX.1. We believe that the gui also works on Solaris using java 1.3, but this has not been thoroughly tested.

Please see instructions below for how to run on each of these platforms.

AT THE LABS:

• From a RUCS lab PC, open exceed and connect to remus
• From remus connect to rhea using the command xrsh rhea
• In the rhea window issue the command setenv JAVAVERSION 1.4.1
• Use emacs, javac and java on rhea to complete the assignment

ON A MAC running OSX.1 with OroborOSX v0.8 beta:

On remus, use emacs, javac and java to run your program. window displaying the simualtion should open on your Mac display.

ON A PC running Windows NT (or later, hopefully):

Use javac and java to compile and run your Java program on you PC using JDK 1.3 or higher.
