PROG2004 Assignment 2
Weight: 40% of your final mark
Due: 27th September 2021 11 pm
Specifications
Your task is to complete various exercises in Netbeans, using the Java language, and to
submit these via the MySCU link created for this purpose.
Marking criteria includes:
• Use of correct coding style, including the use of comments;
• Accuracy of coding;
• Use of suitable coding structures;
• Correct submission and naming conventions of assessment items as required.

Getting Help
This assignment is to be completed individually. It is the opportunity to gain an
understanding of the concepts of object oriented programming and coding syntax. It is
important that you master these concepts yourself. You are permitted to work from the
examples in the study guide or textbook but you must acknowledge assistance from other
textbooks or classmates. In particular, you must not use online material or help from others,
as this would prevent you from mastering these concepts.
Who can you get help from? Use this diagram to determine from whom you may seek help
with your program.

Please Note for all parts of the assignment:
• You cannot use the same examples that the Study guide uses. Examples taken from
the study guide will result in no marks and may count as plagiarism.
• Marks will be given for high cohesion. This means that you should not have all your
code in the start method.
• If your marker has any suspicion that you had help with your code or that your
work is not your own you will be asked to come to a meeting with your marker to
explain your code. Any student who is unable to explain their code will be
submitted for academic misconduct.
Part 1 –Shapes and Events
Create a new JavaFX project called firstName_lastName_Part1 in Netbeans. In my case, the
project would be called Alex_Hendry_Part1.
Using a BorderPane:
• Add at least 4 different shapes to your app (Every shape must have at least 1 event)
Your app must:
• Demonstrate the use of at least 4 different Mouse events
• Demonstrate the use of at least 2 different Key events
• Demonstrate the use of a GridPane in one section of the BorderPane
• Demonstrate the use of a FlowPane in one section of the BorderPane
• Demonstrate the use of at least 1 inner class
• Demonstrate the use of at least 1 anonymous inner class
• Demonstrate the use of at least 1 lambda expression
• Demonstrate the use of setHgap, setVgap, setHalignment and setValignment
• Marks will be given for cohesion i.e. you should not have all of your code in the start
method. You should make use of multiple methods, each with a distinct function.
Ideally you should have a method for each shape.
Part 2 – Images and Animations
Create a new JavaFX project called firstName_lastName_Part2 in Netbeans. In my case, the
project would be called Alex_Hendry_Part2.
• Add an image as the background for your app using an ImageView object
• Demonstrate the use of at least 3 methods of ImageView
• Add a Polygon with at least 8 sides
o Demonstrate the use of the FadeTransition class to fade the polygon in and
out

3

• Add a second shape (can be any shape)
o Demonstrate the use of the PathTransition class using the second shape as
the path and any shape as the node
• Add a third shape (can be any shape)
o Demonstrate the use of the Timeline class to change the colour of the third
shape every 1 second indefinitely e.g., red to blue to red to blue to red to
blue etc. You can choose whatever colours you like
Part 3 – UI Controls and Collections
Create a new JavaFX project called firstName_lastName_Part3 in Netbeans. In my case, the
project would be called Alex_Hendry_Part3.
For this part of the assignment, you need to build an app that stores a collection of Students
(see attached class at the end of this assignment). Your app will allow the user to enter data
about a student. When the user is finished the data will be written to a Student object and
then the Student object will be added to an ArrayList. The user can then enter data for a
new Student and repeat the process.
Your app will need the following UI controls that will be mapped to instance variables in the
Student Class provided at the end of this document:
• Text field for the first name
• Text field for the last name
• Slider for the age
• Radio buttons for the gender
• Check boxes for the subjects the student has completed (add at least 4 subjects from
the IT degree)
• A list view for the programming languages the student likes (at least 4 programming
languages)
Once a user has entered the data for a student your app needs to do the following:
• Write the data from the UI to a Student object (use the attached class at the end of
this assignment)
• Add the Student object to an ArrayList that will store all students entered by the user
• Reset the UI controls so the user can enter a new Student
One way to do this would be to have the following (you do not have to do it this way):
• A “New Student” button that resets the UI controls.
• An “Add Student” button that creates a new instance of the Student, sets the
Students instance variables (via the mutator methods) using the values from the UI
controls and then adds the Student to the ArrayList

PLEASE NOTE:
• Marks will be given for cohesion i.e. you should not have all of your code in the start
method. You should make use of multiple methods, each with a distinct function
• You CANNOT modify the attached Student class
Submission
You should now have 3 Netbeans projects. You must zip the projects into one zip file called
firstName_lastName_A2.zip For example, mine would be alex_hendry_A2.zip.
Submit this file via the Assignment 2 link on MySCU by the due date. Please leave enough
time for it to upload, so do not submit at the last minute!

Student Class
Use the following class for your Student:
public class Student {
// text field
private String firstName;
// text field
private String lastName;
// slider
private Integer age;
// radio buttons
private String gender;
// check boxes
private HashSet subjects = new HashSet();
// list view
private HashSet programmingLanguages = new HashSet();

public Student() {
}

public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}

public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}

public void setAge(Integer age) {
this.age = age;
}

public void setGender(String gender) {
this.gender = gender;
}

public void setSubjects(HashSet subjects) {
this.subjects = subjects;
}

public void setProgrammingLanguages(HashSet programmingLanguages) {
this.programmingLanguages = programmingLanguages;
}
}
