Lab 5

• Implement this API.
A skeleton for the ASCIImation class can be found here. Note that the method repeat is optional. If you want to implement it, replace the

throw new UnsupportedOperationException("The repeat method has not been implemented");

with your code.
• Use this JUnit test to check your Frame class. Use this JUnit test to check your ASCIImation class. See Lab 2 how to use JUnit tests.
• Optional: if you have implemented the repeat method, use this JUnit test to check it. Note that this test may run for more than one minute.
• Optional: run this app. To run it you need this file.
• Submit your solution before Saturday February 21 at noon. To submit, log into a computer of the Prism lab (clips showing how to log in from home and transfer files can be found here). Transfer your Frame.java and ASCIImation.java to your EECS account (if it is not already there). Create a file named group.txt in the directory which contains the lab directory which contains the games directory which in turn contains Frame.java and ASCIImation.java. Do not put the group.txt in the same directory as Frame.java and ASCIImation.java. Each line of the file group.txt contains the EECS login name of a member of the group. Open a terminal and go to the directory that contains the file group.txt. In that directory, run the following command.

  submit 1030 lab5 group.txt lab/games/Frame.java lab/games/ASCIImation.java
  

  If something fails, you will be see something like

  submitted:  group.txt (17 bytes)
  submitted:  Frame.java (1346 bytes)
  submitted:  ASCIImation.java (4195 bytes)
  All files successfully submitted.
  
  Your Frame class compiled successfully.
  Your ASCIImation class compiled successfully.
  Your Frame and ASCIImation classes passed all the tests.
  Your code contains no style errors.
  Your code contains no style errors.
  frank in group.txt is not a valid EECS account
  SUBMITTED FILES HAVE BEEN REMOVED.
  PLEASE SUBMIT AGAIN.
  

  Fix your code and submit again. If you successfully submitted your code, you will see something like this

  submitted:  group.txt (17 bytes)
  submitted:  Frame.java (1346 bytes)
  submitted:  ASCIImation.java (4195 bytes)
  All files successfully submitted.
  
  Your Frame class compiled successfully.
  Your ASCIImation class compiled successfully.
  Your Frame and ASCIImation classes passed all the tests.
  Your code contains no style errors.
  Your code contains no style errors.
  Your group.txt file has been successfully validated.

Frequently asked questions

Question: Should I include javadoc?
Answer: Yes.

Question: What should getNumberOfFrames return when repeat has been invoked?
Answer: The largest int value.

Question: The style checker complains about some of the code given to us. What should we do?
Answer: In ASCIImation, replace

public void repeat() throws UnsupportedOperationException

public void repeat()

catch (InterruptedException e) {}

catch (InterruptedException e)
{
   System.out.println("Something went wrong");
}
