Choose Your Own Adventure Game

This is a game that allows you to pick your path.

Here is an example:

• http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~loxias/odchoice.htm

2. Make a new folder to hold your game.

3. Paste this code in Java. Save it as CYOA. Save it to the folder.

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class CYOA extends Applet implements ActionListener
{
Panel p_screen;
Panel s1, s2; //add more screens here
CardLayout cdLayout = new CardLayout ();
public void init ()
{
p_screen = new Panel ();
p_screen.setLayout (cdLayout);
//make the screens here
screen1 ();
screen2 ();
resize (400, 400);
setLayout (new BorderLayout ());
add ("Center", p_screen);
}

public void screen1 ()
{
s1 = new Panel ();
s1.setBackground (Color.white);
JLabel title = new JLabel ("Choose your own adventure.");
JLabel pic = new JLabel (createImageIcon ("title.jpg"));
JButton next = new JButton ("Next");
next.setActionCommand ("2");
next.addActionListener (this);
s1.add (title);
s1.add (pic);
s1.add (next);
p_screen.add ("1", s1);
}

public void screen2 ()
{
s2 = new Panel ();
s2.setBackground (Color.yellow);
JLabel title = new JLabel ("You wake up...");
title.setFont (new Font ("Jokerman", Font.PLAIN, 20));
JTextArea text = new JTextArea (5,20);
text.append ("You wake up in the morning and find you are late.\n");
text.append ("You grab your stuff and rush out the door, \nback pack in hand.\n");
text.append ("\nDo you: ");
JButton optA = new JButton ("a) grab some granola bars");
optA.setActionCommand ("3");
optA.addActionListener (this);
JButton optB = new JButton ("b) grab an apple");
optB.setActionCommand ("4");
optB.addActionListener (this);
s2.add (title);
s2.add (text);
s2.add (optA);
s2.add (optB);
p_screen.add ("2", s2);
}

public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
{
if (e.getActionCommand ().equals ("1"))
cdLayout.show (p_screen, "1");
else if (e.getActionCommand ().equals ("2"))
cdLayout.show (p_screen, "2");

}

protected static ImageIcon createImageIcon (String path)
{ //change the red to your class name
java.net.URL imgURL = CYOA.class.getResource (path);
if (imgURL != null)
return new ImageIcon (imgURL);
else
{
System.err.println ("Couldn't find file: " + path);
return null;
}
}
}

4. Edit the code to make your first screen.

5. Edit the code to make your second screen. It should be something like this, but change it so that it has your own story in it.

6. Make all of your other screens.
