IT10.2

IT coursework for Term 2, covering loops, strings, and a Swing Snake game. Each project has its own folder.

Projects

The class exercises are Loops, ForLoopsAgain, ForLoopsYetAgain, ForTheLoveOfLoops, WordControl, BespokeRectangle, VeryInteresting, and VeryInteresting_v2. Encyrption contains a character-shifting exercise; its original folder spelling is kept.

Practice contains BlankTemplate and SpareTimeChallenge. Tests includes the loop tests, June exam revision, the final practical study project, and Term 2 Exam Corrections. The written practice paper is in Tests/Practice/28-04-26/PracticeTest_Term2.md.

SnakeGame is a Swing game. There is also a browser exercise in fibonacci-game.html.

Running a project

Open an individual project folder in NetBeans and run its main class. The projects target Java 25 and were checked with JDK 26. With Apache Ant installed, run this from a project folder:

For a build without running the program, use ant jar. SnakeGame has a custom build file and uses ant compile instead.

Work still in progress

Some exercises are unfinished. Encyrption's incomplete decryption fragment is commented out, and SpareTimeChallenge still has unanswered sections. Tests/ForLoopsSurpriseTest3 has project files but no source in its expected source folder. A similarly named source file is preserved inside ForLoopsSurpriseTest2.

During recovery, 18 projects containing source compiled successfully. The remaining project entry has metadata only. Original versions of repaired files are kept in local recovery backups. Those backups, generated files, and machine-specific IDE settings are excluded from Git.
