How To Play

The game is simple, use key "up", "left", "right", "down" to move the little man around. Use key "u" to undo a step. e.g. for the task 1, it is displayed:

The target is to make sure all the balls are covered by the box.

click the menu "Game" and select "Jump to Task", input the task ID from 1 to 100, e.g. input 33 then the task 33 is displayed:

How To Install

Design Highlight

The game is controlled by a matrix:

grid = new Cell[14][16];  //14 rows and 16 columns.

Each cell is an object with current status:

public class Cell {
    boolean black;
    boolean wall;
    boolean floor;
    boolean box;
    boolean ball;
    boolean spirit;
    int action;

    public Cell() {
        black = false;
        wall = false;
        floor = false;
        box = false;
        ball = false;
        spirit = false;
        action = NONE;
    }
}

In terms of the MVC design pattern, there the grid is the Model, the canvas is the view, the keyUp/Down event is the controller.
