Mario exists in a 2D grid. The top-left corner of the grid has an (x,y) co-ordinate of (0,0). Moving right, the x value increases. Moving down, the y value increases.

The grid is 400x400:

Every Mario object has 3 private properties:

• x co-ordinate, eg 200
• y co-ordinate, eg 400
• health eg 7

At the start of a game, Mario's (x,y) position is always (200,200) and his health is 10.

In the game loop, Mario can jump around. Each jump is counted. Note, the jump count is not a property of Mario, it is just a game variable.

Every time he jumps off the grid, his health decreases by 1. The game ends when his health reaches 0 and the jump count, health and final location are displayed.

Design the Mario class. Use private properties ie Data Hiding. Create:

• a list of class properties/attributes
• a constructor method
• an accessor method for each property eg public int getX(){return x;}
• a mutator method for each property eg public void setX(int newX){x = newX;}

solution

We will now create a game. It will have 1 object: a Mario object. In your Main program, construct a Mario object and run your program - hopefully no errors!

solution

Create a variable to store the jump count and set it to 0.

Create a game loop where the game will continue while Mario's health is greater than 0.

solution

Inside the game loop, create 2 random numbers in the range -5 to 405. One will be assigned to Mario's x co-ordinate and the other will be assigned to Mario's y co-ordinate.

solution

In the game loop, after Mario jumps, we need to check his new location. If he is off the grid, we will decrease his health by 1.

solution

In the game loop, after updating Mario's health, let's increase the jump count by 1 and display Mario's current location and health.

Also, when the game loop ends, let's write a line of code to confirm Mario's final location and health value.
