Method Detail

allowPlay

void allowPlay()
Gives each player in turn a chance to play, until all three players have passed.

deal

void deal()
Deals the initial two cards (one hidden, one not hidden) to each player.

nextCard

int nextCard()
Returns a random "card" (represented by a integer between 1 and 10, inclusive). For simplicity, all cards are equally likely, and there are an infinite number of cards (so this is more like rolling a 10-sided die than like drawing from a 52-card deck). Note: The java.util package contains a Random class, which is perfect for generating random numbers.
Returns:
a random integer in the range 1..10.

runGame

void runGame()
Calls methods to perform the following three actions:
  1. Deals the initial two cards to each player,
  2. Gives each player a chance to play, in turn, until all three players have passed, and
  3. Determines the winner.
