Cat Simulator 2015

I worked together with my friend Tim to make a 'cat simulator' of sorts in Java. After naming your virtual cat, you can use text commands to pet it, give it things to play with / eat, or watch it interact with things you've given it. Here's an example run of the program:

You got a new pet cat! What do you want to name him?

Tom

You named him Tom.

What do you want to do?

(pet, give, watch, exit)

give

What item is it?

paper ball

Is it edible?

no

Tom plays idly with the paper ball.

(pet, give, watch, exit)

give

What item is it?

catnip

Is it edible?

yes

Tom stares at the catnip.

(pet, give, watch, exit)

watch

Tom eats the catnip. Viciously.

(pet, give, watch, exit)

watch

Tom meows.

(pet, give, watch, exit)

pet

You pet Tom and he purrs softly.

(pet, give, watch, exit)

pet

You pet Tom the wrong way, and he scratches you!

(pet, give, watch, exit)

The program is split into three .java files and three separate classes; a main class, a cat class, and an Object class. The main class handles command inputs and stores objects, the cat class decides what it wants to do with with the objects it's given, and the Object class stores information about each object.

The project code can be viewed in this Eclipse project.
