Introduction

This tutorial covers:

• UML Sequence Diagram
• Preparation for milestone 2 of programming project #1 (Hangman).

1. UML Sequence Diagram

The UML class diagrams for the design of Hangman can only describe the static relationships between the various classes.  To illustrate the dynamic interactions between the various objects in the system at runtime, we use UML sequence diagrams.  Below are UML sequence diagrams depicting different scenarios in playing the game.

a. Correctly guess a character but still need to continue playing

b. Correctly guess a character and win

c. Incorrectly guess a character but still need to continue playing

d. Painting the body parts

e. The game is lost when the noose is drawn 

2. Hangman GUI

Programming project #1 asks you to write a GUI program to play hangman.  The GUI is the "view" with respect to the "model" you created last week. The tutorial found at ../../projects/hangman/view.html will take you step by step through creating the GUI needed for your project. While you are not required to have exactly the GUI you create in the tutorial, your project must have at least its level of functionality. We strongly recommend that you follow the instructions and create the GUI as described before you attempt to customize it.

Technically, the lab tutorial only consists of the "View" section in the above mentioned web page.  By completing the exercises in the above link, you will have completed another non-trivial part of the programming project.

You are free to collaborate with other lab partners in the lab and share the code written during this lab only.  Afterwards, you will have  to work alone on the project.  Your labbies will give you guidance but will not help you write the code.
