ExampleGame

Below is the source code for ExampleGame. For simplicity, ExampleGame does not actually contain code to play a game. It simply retrieves or updates a user's high score.

To see what the user's current high score value is, you could run:

java ExampleGame get

To set a new high score value for the user, you could run:

java ExampleGame set score 

To retrieve the user's current high score, ExampleGame simply instantiates a HighScore object and makes a call to its getHighScore method. To set a new high score for the user, ExampleGame instantiates a HighScore object and calls setHighScore, passing it the user's new high score.

Here is the source code for ExampleGame, ExampleGame.java:

package com.gamedev.games;
import java.io.*;
import java.security.*;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import com.scoredev.scores.*;
public class ExampleGame
{
 public static void main(String args[])
 throws Exception 
 {
 HighScore hs = new HighScore("ExampleGame");
 if (args.length == 0)
 usage();
 if (args[0].equals("set")) {
 hs.setHighScore(Integer.parseInt(args[1]));
 } else if (args[0].equals("get")) {
 System.out.println("score = "+ hs.getHighScore());
 } else {
 usage();
 }
 }
 public static void usage()
 {
 System.out.println("ExampleGame get");
 System.out.println("ExampleGame set <score>");
 System.exit(1);
