Scrabble

Group project to design a Java-based Scrabble replica with a JavaFX front-end.

 

About Scrabble

see Wikipedia

Scrabble is a word game in which two to four players score points by placing tiles, each bearing a single letter, onto a game board divided into a 15×15 grid of squares. The tiles must form words that, in crossword fashion, read left to right in rows or downward in columns, and be included in a standard dictionary or lexicon.

Running the Unit-Tests.

Prerequisites:

• Java 11
• JUnit 5
• TestFX 4.0.16 (See pom.xml for more TestFX-associated pre-requisites)
• IDE

Using IntelliJ:

1. Create new project using blank template.
2. Set up the folder directory in the form: src -> main -> java -> scrabbleGame -> test -> java
3. Mark the src/main/java as a blue 'Sources root' in the Module Settings for the project.
4. Mark the src/test/java as a green 'Test root' in the Module Settings for the project.
5. Download the repo as a .ZIP file.
6. Copy the .java class files into the src/main/java folder.
7. Copy the .java test files into the src/main/test folder.
8. Now, ensure the project is set to JDK 11.
