Solitaire

Implementation of the Solitaire card game with JavaFX

Demonstration application used in the book Introduction to Software Design with Java.

Building this application

This repository is configured to build automatically in Eclipse with Java 21 and JavaFX 21.

However, when first imported, the project will show a compilation error because the JavaFX dependency is missing.

To add JavaFX:

Download JavaFX 21;
Create a new User Library under Eclipse -> Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Build Path -> User Libraries -> New. Name it JavaFX21 and include the jars under the lib folder from the location where you extracted the JavaFX download.

The project should then build properly.

Right-click on the project and select Run As -> Java Application. Select Solitaire from the list.

To run the tests, select Run As - > JUnit Test.

There are also two driver programs, Driver and CrashTest, which run the application in headless mode (that is, without the GUI).
