Frogs and Toads 4FrogApp and FrogApplet

Some updates • Frogs and Toads 3 (after) has partial functionality • can move an amphibian • can determine if frog move (one square) is legal • need to check if hops move is legal • need to do Toads as well

FrogGame class • validMove method • checks the status of a pad to see if FROG or TOAD • we used gameBoard.getPad(row,column).getStatus() • when checking for hops • have to check neighbor square is opposite type • could go "off the board" – outside legal limits for row/col • will cause run time error (red messages!) • Instead use gameBoard.statusOfPad(row,column); • this method will have protection inside • checks for illegal row/column values

FrogGame class • int StatusOfPad(row,column) • if the row is <0 OR >= size • return Pad.INVALID • same deal with col • otherwise, return gameBoard.getPad(row,column).getStatus();

Pond class • The toString method provided draws board upside down • low rows on top. • Opposite of the example games • We can easily flip the board, see method and verify in FrogGameTester

FrogApp class • comments and pseudocode provided • very easy once you get the FrogGame class working

FrogApplet class • starter code provided • we'll do the board drawing together • and also how to convert mouse clicks to row/col values
