A java program that allows users to practice reading finger spelling. Points are added for every successful entry and points are subtracted for every unsuccessful entry inside the textbox
The user must start the program by clicking on "New Word", clicking "New Word" at anytime will not deduct any points
A user can replay a word at no given cost, all points remain
When a user decides to give up one point is subtracted and the word is displayed
When the user does enter the right word then one point is added to the score
This program reads many different words from text file "words.txt" inserting them into a string array.
In this block of code a word is chosen at random and is broken down into separate characters, the image is called by the letter number in order to display the image
for (int i = 0; i < words[randInt].length(); i++){
//letter is a number from 0-25 corresponding to the position in the alphabet
//97 is the beginning of alphabet in ASCII
int letter = words[randInt].charAt(i) - 97;
if (time == i) //Displays one image every second
g.drawImage(alphabet.get(letter), 300, 100, 500, 500, null);
}This block of code below adds every image from the resource folder into an image ArrayList. By having the name of each png file a letter it makes it easy to add each image into the ArrayList in order, instead of doing "alphabet.add(ImageIO.read(new File("res/a.png")));" for each letter of the alphabet
for (int i = 0; i < 26; i++) {
char letter = (char) (97 + i);
String fileName = letter + ".png";
alphabet.add(ImageIO.read(new File("res/" + fileName)));
}
