Lab 13: (4 points) Color used only twice, Requires Lab 12

Edit the GuessGame.java class's setNewGame method so that when the colors are chosen, you make sure that each color is only used twice. You declared and created the arrays needed in Lesson 9 (colorArray and chosenColors).

First, you should edit your Box class's instance variable of showColor to (temporarily) be true by default (if it is not that way already). This way we can see the colors and thus if our code is really working

For this lab, in the setNewGame method, you need to

1. get a random number (and hence its index in the arrays)

2. while the color picked has already been used twice - get another random number (color)

3. when the random color has not been used twice - use it (and increase its value in chosenColors) When you are sure that you are only getting each number twice (use the button to make a bunch of new games and check that they are randomly placed and used twice),

4. After I have seen that your boxes are made properly, you can change the instance variable showColor's default back to false so the boxes start all gray.

The only thing left in coding the game is to actually play the game. Think about how it is played and what is left to do. Everything left can be done in one new method called playGame(Box newestClicked) which we will do in the next project to finish. Remember that at any given time while playing the game, we (computer memory) only need to know about two boxes at a time since once they are not the same, they are flipped back. Hmm, how might you store these boxes that you need to temporarily remember?
Think about it since you will need to do it in the next/last lab.

Lab 14: (4 points) - Play Game!

The last task to complete is to allow a user to play the matching color game!

To GuessGame.java, add the method playGame(Box newestClicked) which will be called after the identification of the box clicked is made.
Specifically, it should be called at the end of the mouseClicked method between the invocations of boxChoice.picked(); (the box needs to know it is chosen) and repaint(); (we want to repaint when we have decided what should happen).
This way, the newest Box clicked has been identified, and we can process some information before we display all the boxes again.

Remember that the game is played by the squares staying shown when they are matched, and flipping back if two do not match. For more information/help on this last method make sure to read the last lesson. Feel free to add any extras (how many clicks to win, reassurance, etc.).

Finally, make an html page to display the applet and show me your lab by going to your website.. The html page should have:

1. The applet running (hence an <applet> tag)
2. a link to your source (actually, I will look at your source in Eclipse to discourage copying)
3. a link to an Object Model for the lab
4. a link to the javadocs for the lab
