Class Main

Object

Main

public class Main
extends Object

Main driver class for the Game. The game has a number of program arguments, with only two that are **required** to function.

• --data={data filename}
  data file needed for the game, contains MOBs and Fortunes
• {save filename}
  save file needed for the game, contains knights

Both are optional, as they have default values.

Examples:

     java Main 
     java Main knights.csv
     java Main --data=data/gamedata.csv
     java Main --data=gamedata2.csv mygame.csv

Method Details

main

public static void main(String[] args)

Takes in command line parameters, looks through the program arguments. Builds the objects to run the game, and passes control over to the GameController. Example code includes

     parseArgs(args); // method that parses the args
     GameData data = new CSVGameData(gamedata, saveData);
     GameView view  = new ConsoleView();
     CombatEngine engine = new CombatEngine(data, view);
     GameController controller = new GameController(data, view, engine);
     controller.start();
 

Remember, P4 where you looped through the args[] array looking to process the arguments? You will be doing something very similar here in this method (or in our case, a private method we created called parseArgs(args))

Parameters:

args - the command line arguments option
