Slot Machine

View Source

We are going to make a slot machine. The slot machine we are going to make, will look a little like the middle row on this image: First, find 3 images for the slot machine to display, e.g. cherry, orange, lime.

Each "reel" of the slot machine will randomly display one of 3 images you have chosen (you can add more images later if there is time).

Put a "SPIN" button onto the frame that causes each of the 3 "reels" to randomly change the image they are showing.

If all 3 reels have the same image showing (like in the picture above), the player wins. Display a "YOU WIN" message, optionally add a sound of success, and if you are still having fun - update a win counter to show the user how many times they have won.

You may find the code below helpful:

private JLabel createLabelImage(String fileName) throws MalformedURLException{ URL imageURL = getClass().getResource(fileName); if (imageURL == null){ System.err.println("Could not find image " + fileName); return new JLabel(); } Icon icon = new ImageIcon(imageURL); JLabel imageLabel = new JLabel(icon); return imageLabel; }
