Matching (memory) Game

Has anyone ever programmed two players Memory game in Processing in simple code and wants to share their code?

How do you turn player1 or player2?
How do you build screen switching? (start screen to score screen or end screen)
How can the two players enter their names and use these names later for the scores?

Yes. I did.

Do you have an assignment?

Yep. You’ll probably want to structure your code something like:

int state;

void seup(){
  size(600,400);
  state = 0;
}

void draw(){
  background(0);
  switch( state ){
    case 0:
      draw_name_entry_one();
      break;
    case 1:
      draw_name_entry_two();
      break;
    case 2:
      draw_in_game();
      break;
    case 3:
      draw_result_screen();
      break;
    default:
      background(200,0,0);
  }
}

void keyPressed(){
  switch(state){
    // Etc.
  }
}

void mousePressed(){
  switch(state){
    // Etc.
  }
}

void draw_name_entry_one(){
  // Etc.
}

// Etc...

It’s not a related to memory but I’ve made a turn-based game using Processing that I’ve called Outspread that supports 2-4 players.

Code available here.

@Chrisir, Thanks for helping me!
Yes, here is my assignment.

@TfGuy44
Thanks, that is very useful!

thanks for sharing this and welcome to this forum!

We gave you some code. Please work from there.

We can’t do the homework for you. That’s the Codex of the forum.

You can ask questions here when you have a concrete issue.

Chrisir

@Chrisir
Thanks!
I certainly want to do this, but I wanted to know how to get started?
I have already started the assignment and I know enough how to do most of the parts, but I find those three screens difficult to achieve.
I will continue with the assignment and thanks again for all of you!

the screens in the assignment are the states in my example.

It’s easy to achieve with the variable state.

In my sketch you can insert the game and later a high score.

My sketch is more like an empty template without decoration and stuff. It shows the different screens though, did you run it?

During the actual game you have a boolean variable player1Turn (indicating whose turn it is) and after each move you change this variable. If the cards matched (set a variable weGotAMatch to store this information) you add to the variable int player1Score or player2Score respectively:

if (weGotAMatch) {

weGotAMatch=false;

if (player1Turn) 
player1Score++;
else player2Score++;

}

// toggle
player1Turn= 
     ! player1Turn;

It’s a long project and there is no short cut really. But we are here to help.

If you work from my template it’s essential that you understand it. More or less.

That’s your starting point.

Beautify the screen layout and make some headlines such as MEMORY !

Then you need a bunch of images, eg young kittens. Get them from web.

And you need one image as a Cover for the backside. Eg a question mark or just the word memory. You could do this programmatically but why.

Now since you work with different sizes of the board you need a way to enter this size. Or you work with a fixed size first.

Let’s say you use object oriented programming, like I did with my buttons.

What data does each Card hold? Position…?

Load the images. Distribute each one twice on the cards and store which are the pairs… pitfalls included…

Then in a nested for loop determine the position of each card and display it in another for loop.

A lot to do. Print out this post and tick off each point when done
