This program focuses on using the ArrayList collection class and basic object-oriented programming. Turn in a file
named TileManager.java online using the turnin link on the Homework section of the course web site. You will also
need the support files DrawingPanel.java, Tile.java, and TileMain.java from the Homework section of the
course web site; place these in the same folder as your program or project. (If you use Eclipse, you may need to put these
files in the src/ subdirectory of your project if such a subdirectory exists.)
You should not modify the provided files. The code you submit must work properly with their unmodified versions.
Program Description:
In this assignment you will write the logic for a graphical program that allows the user to click on rectangular tiles. The
graphical part of the code has already been written for you; your code does not need to directly draw any graphics.
The main client program you should run is the provided TileMain class. When it runs,
it will create a graphical window on the screen; this is an object of type
DrawingPanel. The panel displays a list of tiles. (Initially the panel shows 20 tiles,
but you can add more by typing N.) Each tile is represented as an object of the provided
class Tile. Each tile’s position, size, and color are randomly generated by TileMain.
The overall list of tiles should be stored and maintained by your code in the
TileManager class you will write.
In the screenshot to the right, notice that some tiles overlap and occupy some of the
same (x, y) pixels in the window. In such a case, the tile created later is “on top” of
prior tiles and may partially cover them on the screen. You should think of the overall
list of tiles as having an ordering, where tiles stored earlier in the list are closer to the
“bottom” and ones stored later in the list are closer to the “top”. This is sometimes
called a 3-dimensional ordering or z-ordering.
The graphical user interface (“GUI”) displays the tiles and allows the user to click on
them. Depending on the kind of click, one of five different actions occurs:
• If the user clicks the left mouse button while the mouse cursor points at a tile, that tile is
moved to the very top of the z-ordering (the end of the tile list).
• If the user clicks the left mouse button while holding the Shift key, while the mouse cursor
points at a tile, that tile is moved to the very bottom of the z-ordering (the start of the tile list).
• If the user clicks the right mouse button while the mouse cursor is pointing at a tile, that tile is
removed from the tile list and disappears from the screen.
• If the user clicks the right mouse button while holding the Shift key, all tiles that occupy
that pixel are removed from the tile list and disappear from the screen.
• If the user types the N key on the keyboard, a new randomly positioned tile is created and added to the screen.
• If the user types the S key on the keyboard, the tiles’ order and location are randomly rearranged (shuffled).
If you use a Mac with a 1-button mouse, you can simulate a right-click with a Ctrl-click (or a two-finger tap on the touch
pad on a Mac laptop). If the user clicks the window at a pixel not occupied by any tiles, nothing happens.
If the user clicks a pixel that is occupied by more than one tile, the top-most of these tiles is used. (Except if the user did a
Shift-right-click, in which case it deletes all tiles touching that pixel, not just the top one.)
Note that your code does not need to directly detect mouse clicks or key presses. Our provided code detects the
clicks / presses and responds by calling various methods on your TileManager object, as described on the next page.

Implementation Details:
Your TileManager class should store a list of tiles as a field of type ArrayList. The various methods listed below will
cause changes to the contents of that list. Remember to import java.util.*; to use ArrayList.
The following sections describe in detail each method you must implement in your TileManager class. For any methods
that accept objects as parameters, you may assume that the value passed is not null or otherwise invalid.
public TileManager()
This constructor is called every time a new tile manager object is created. Initially your manager is not storing any tiles.
public void addTile(Tile rect)
In this method you should add the given tile to the end of your tile manager’s list of tiles.
public void drawAll(Graphics g)
This method should cause all of the tiles in the tile manager to draw themselves on the screen using the given graphical
pen. You do not need to do this yourself directly by calling methods on the Graphics object; each Tile object already
has a draw method that it can use to draw itself. Draw the tiles from bottom (start) to top (end) of your manager’s list.
Recall that in order to refer to type Graphics, you must import java.awt.*; in your code.
The next four methods are called by the graphical user interface (“GUI”) in response to various mouse clicks, passing you
the x/y coordinates where the user clicked. If the coordinates passed do not touch any tiles, no action or error should
occur. After any click, the GUI also clears the screen for you and calls drawAll to re-draw all of the tiles in your list.
public void raise(int x, int y)
Called when the user left-clicks. It passes you the x/y coordinates the user clicked. If these coordinates touch any tiles,
you should move the topmost of these tiles to the very top (end) of the list.
public void lower(int x, int y)
Called when the user Shift-left-clicks. If these coordinates touch any tiles, you should move the topmost of these tiles to
the very bottom (beginning) of the list.
public void delete(int x, int y)
Called when the user right-clicks. If these coordinates touch any tiles, you should delete the topmost of these tiles from
the list.
public void deleteAll(int x, int y)
Called when the user Shift-right-clicks. If these coordinates touch any tiles, you should delete all such tiles from the list.
public void shuffle(int width, int height)
Called when the user types S. This method should perform two actions: (1) reordering the tiles in the list into a random
order, and (2) moving every tile on the screen to a new random x/y pixel position. The random position should be such
that the square’s top-left x/y position is non-negative and also such that every pixel of the tile is within the passed width
and height. For example, if the width passed is 300 and the height is 200, a tile of size 20×20 must be moved to a random
position such that its top-left x/y position is between (0, 0) and (280, 180).
You can use the built-in Java method Collections.shuffle to randomly rearrange the elements of your list (1).
Your manager’s list stores Tile objects. Each Tile object has the following public methods:
public int getX(), public int getY(), public void setX(int x), public void setY(int y)
These methods return or modify the tile’s top-left x/y pixel position.
public int getWidth(), public int getHeight()
These methods return the tile’s width and height in pixels.
public void draw(Graphics g)
Draws the tile on the screen using the given graphical pen.
public String toString()
Returns a text representation of the tile, such as “(x=57,y=148,w=26,h=53)”.
It can be useful to print a tile (or a collection of tiles) with println to examine their state.

Development Strategy and Hints:
We have noticed that many CSE 143 students do not develop their code in stages and do not have a good idea of how to
test their solutions. One of the most important techniques for professional developers is to write code in stages (” iterative
enhancement” or “stepwise refinement”) rather than trying to do it all at once. It is also important to test the correctness
of your solution at each stage. We suggest that you write your constructor and addTile first, then drawAll. Then run
the program to make sure that you can see the tiles appear on the screen. Now write each click-related method one at a
time and test each one individually to be sure it works before moving on to the next.
The program will not compile until your TileManager class contains all of the specified methods. But you can just write
empty “stub” versions of the methods at first, then come back later and fill them in when you are ready. This will allow
you to write each method and test it one at a time.
One part of this program involves figuring out which tile(s), if any, touch a given x/y pixel. You can figure this out by
comparing the x/y position of the click to the x/y area covered by the tile. For example, if a tile has a top-left corner of
(x=20, y=10), a width of 50, and a height of 15, it touches all of the pixels from (20, 10) through (69, 24) inclusive. Such
a tile contains the point (32, 17) because 32 is between 20 and 69 and 17 is between 10 and 24.
If you see compiler errors about class Tile, you may not have downloaded Tile.java or added it to your project.
If you have bugs or exceptions in your code, there are several things you can try. You can print out the state of your list
and of each Tile object with temporary println statements. (Though this is a graphical program, println output
does still appear on the console.) You should remove or comment out any such println statements later before you turn
in the assignment. You can also use a debugger as found in jGRASP or Eclipse to pause the code at a breakpoint in the
middle of an operation. Stepping through line-by-line can help you to see what has gone wrong.
A sample solution to this program is available on the course web site. You can use this to test your program’s behavior.
Style Guidelines and Grading:
A major focus of our style grading is redundancy. As much as possible, avoid redundancy and repeated logic in your
code. One powerful way to avoid redundancy is to create “helper” method(s) to capture repeated code. It is legal to have
additional methods in your TileManager class beyond those specified here. For example, you may find that multiple
methods in your class do similar things. If so, you should create helper method(s) to capture the common code. (We
recommend that you declare such methods to be private rather than public, so that outside code cannot call them.)
Your tile manager should maintain its list of tiles internally in a field of type ArrayList as stated previously. You
should not use any other data structures. Your code should use “generic” type parameters appropriately when creating any
collection objects. You must declare such collections with a suitable element type within <> brackets. You should use
the array list and its methods appropriately, and take advantage of its ability to “shift” elements as they are added or
removed. Your list should not store any invalid or null elements as a result of any mouse click activity.
Properly encapsulate your objects by making any data fields in your class private. Avoid unnecessary fields; use fields
to store important data of your objects but not to store temporary values only used in one place. Fields should always be
initialized inside a constructor or method, never at declaration.
You should follow good general Java style guidelines such as: appropriately using control structures like loops and
if/else statements; avoiding redundancy using techniques such as methods, loops, and factoring common code out of
if/else statements; properly using indentation, good variable names, and types; and not having any lines of code longer
than 100 characters in length. (If you have any such lines, split them into two or more lines using a line break.)
You should comment your code with a heading at the top of your class with your name, section, and a description of the
overall program. Also place a comment heading on top of each method, and a comment on any complex sections of your
code. Comment headings should use descriptive complete sentences and should be written in your own words, explaining
each method’s behavior, parameters, return values, and assumptions made by your code, as appropriate.
Unless otherwise specified, your solution should use only material taught in class and in the book chapters covered so far.
For reference, our solution to this program is around 80 lines long including comments (and has 36 “substantive” lines
according to our Indenter tool on the course web site). But you do not have to match this; it’s just listed as a sanity check.
