A collection of java programs and games I've made over the course of my studies and experiments.
To run any of the applications below you need to have the 'Java Runtime Environment' (JRE) installed on your computer.
Most likely you already have this installed, but if you don't you can download it from http://java.com/en/
The memory game (also called concentration) is played by two players with a deck of an even number of cards. The deck contains pairs of images such that each image appears exactly twice. The cards are spread on the table face down. The first player turns over two cards, if the images match, the cards are removed and he/she scores a point. The player can keep picking pairs of cards as long as they keep getting matches. If the cards do not match, they are turned over (i.e., face down) in the exact same position and the second player will now play. When the second player chooses an unmatched pair of cards, they are returned to the game face down in the exact same position and it is now player one's turn. The game is over when all of the pairs of matching images have been removed from the table. The player with the most matched pairs is the winner.
Originated from an idea to copy the daily word jumble game that is printed in the Chicago Tribune. It has two playing modes, easy or hard; however the hard mode seems to be a bit too challenging.
