Tamagotchi 😸🐶

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJE-5nIOXKI

We will today be creating a tamagotchi. A tamagotchi is a virtual pet that you can interact with. It was quite a big deal back when i was young. Not so much anymore.

A tamagotchi had to be kept alive. You could feed it, play with it, dress it etc.

Tamagotchi details

We have to create 4 different classes

  1. Game - Class that initiates a game and takes user input

  2. Tamagotchi - Super class for Cat and Dog

  3. Cat - A class that inherits from Tamagotchi

  4. Dog - A class that also inherits from Tamagotchi

Game class

This class can be seen as the "main" class. It takes data from a user and now creates either a Cat object or a Dog object.

Tamagotchi class

Is the super class for Cat and Dog. It contains the more general characteristics of Cat and Dog

It could have some of the following attributes

  • name

  • age

  • mood

  • energy

  • .

And it could have some of the following methods. But its up to you!

  • play()

  • feed()

  • sleep(6)

  • ...

Cat and Dog

The Cat and Dog should extend Tamagotchi!

You come up with what attributes and methods relevant for a Cat and a Dog

Fx a Dog could maybe bark(). It's up to you

One requirement is that both Cat and Dog should at some point override a method from Tamagotchi!

Requirements

  • Game class

  • Tamagotchi class

  • Cat and Dog classes that extends Tamagotchi

  • In the Cat and Dog classes there should be at least one override method

  • Draw a class diagram of all your classes and create a sequence diagram of one specific use case

Your task

A user should be able to create either a Cat or a Dog with a name. That pet will then be created with random values.

Your task is now to create a Tamagotchi that is fun to play with using the above requirements! Create a new game object using the Game class that can spawn a cat, a dog or both

Example

Hello, would you like to create a dog or a cat? Press 1 for dog and 2 for cat
1

Ahh you would like to create a cat, what should the name of the cat be?
Miaui McLickALot

Okay, here is your cat Miaui McLickALot
 /\_/\
( o.o )
 > ^ <
What would you now like to do?
1 - play
2 - feed
3 - sleep
1

Miaui McLickALot is running after a ball, now her energy went down 1 and her hunger went up 1
What would you now like to do?
1 - play
2 - feed
3 - sleep
3

      |\      _,,,---,,_
ZZZzz /,`.-'`'    -.  ;-;;,_
     |,4-  ) )-,_. ,\ (  `'-'
    '---''(_/--'  `-'\_)  
Miaui McLickALot now has full energy!
What would you now like to do?
1 - play
2 - feed
3 - sleep

This is just an example please come up with your own virtual pet 😸

Optional tasks

  • Make the pet objects interact with each other

  • Create more pets than just Cat and Dog

  • Make it possible for time to pass in the game! Fx if a pet has not gotten food in some time it becomes hungry. You could fx do that by in the Game class creating a tick method that simulates that time has elapsed. This tick method can then be called each second that then affects the pets stats

Handin checklist

  • Have you tested that the code works?

  • Have you written comments to the code?

  • Have you thought of a good structure?

  • Is the code easy to understand and read?

  • Does the variablename make sense?
