Summary: In this assignment, you will implement a
simple version of the game Mad Libs.
Purpose: To give you an opportunity to explore issues
of input and output in Java.
Contents:
You may be familiar with the game Mad Libs. In this game of
two or more players, one player serves as the questioner and the remaining
players provide answers. The questioner works from a text in which certain
words are missing and asks the players to submit words for those that
are missing. The only detail that the questioner provides is the part
of speech (or other description of the expected word). The questioner
then reads the resulting text.
Consider the following text:
John likes to verb with Java
because he thinks that Java is adjective.
When things go well, John is adjective.
When things go badly, John yells "exclamation!"
In this case, the questioner would ask for a verb, two adjectives, and
an exclamation. If the players provided the words sleep
,
green
, stupid
, and foo
, the questioner would
then read
John likes to sleep with Java
because he thinks that Java is green.
When things go well, John is stupid.
When things go badly, John yells "foo!"
Write a program the serves the role of the questioner in a pre-defined
game of Mad Libs.
Your program should
- prompt the player for a few parts of speech and
- print out a short text (story, essay, poem, whatever) that includes
the player's resopnses.
Please enter a verb: walk
Please enter an adjective: superfluous
Please enter an adjective: incredible
Please enter an exclamation: wicked
Here is your story ...
John likes to walk with Java
because he thinks that Java is superfluous.
When things go well, John is incredible.
When things go badly, John yells "wicked!"
When you are satisfied with your work, you should submit it to me. Please
email me your Java code.
When you ask questions, I'll try to put the answers here.
