0.2 Parcheesi Assignment

In this assessment, you will build a UML object diagram that represents one specific Parcheesi game state. You will create a Player named Tara, represent four red Pawns, connect the Player to those Pawns, and use the Feedback System to check and revise your work.

1.Create a new object diagram

A Open a new object diagram

1 Open Violet UML Diagramming Tool

2 Choose File | New | Static view | Object diagram

B Create the Player object

1 Select the Object tool and click the workspace

2 Double-click the new object node to open its Properties window

3 Set the object Name to Player, then click OK

2.Represent the first player

A Add the first field

1 Select the Field tool in the Diagram tools menu

2 Click the Player object to add a field

B Open the field Properties window

1 Select the Select tool

2 Double-click the new field to open its Properties window

C Set the player's number

1 Change the field Name to Number

2 Change the field Value to 1

3 Click OK and confirm that Player now shows Number = 1

D Add Tara's name

1 Add a second field to Player

2 Set the field Name to Name

3 Set the field Value to Tara, then click OK

3.Represent the Pawns

A Create the first Pawn

1 Use the Object tool to add another object node

2 Double-click the object and set its Name to Pawn

3 Add a field named Number and set its Value to 1

4 Add a field named Color and set its Value to Red

B Create the remaining Pawns

1 Create three additional Pawn objects

2 Set every Pawn Color to Red

3 Set the Pawn Number values to 2, 3, and 4 so the four Pawns are numbered 1 through 4

4.Connect the Player to the Pawns

A Add the Pawn reference fields

1 Add four fields to Player named Pawn1, Pawn2, Pawn3, and Pawn4

2 Leave the field values available for object-reference connections rather than typing Pawn data into the fields

B Connect Pawn1

1 Select the Object reference (from field) tool

2 Drag from the value area of Player.Pawn1 to the Pawn whose Number is 1, then release

C Connect the remaining Pawns

1 Connect Player.Pawn2 to the Pawn numbered 2

2 Connect Player.Pawn3 to the Pawn numbered 3

3 Connect Player.Pawn4 to the Pawn numbered 4

D Check the completed model

1 Confirm Player shows Number = 1 and Name = Tara

2 Confirm there are four Pawn objects, all with Color = Red and Number values 1 through 4

3 Confirm Pawn1, Pawn2, Pawn3, and Pawn4 each reference the Pawn with the matching Number
