# My Personal Project: Monopoly
## About
This is a **Java** clone of *Monopoly* created for a school project based
on the [official rule-set](https://www.officialgamerules.org/monopoly).
Monopoly is a turn-based multiplayer board game, where the objective
of the game is to not go bankrupt and outlive the other players by
acquiring properties and collecting rent.
## Who is this for?
*Monopoly* is a fun game that can be played with friends and family, its
combination of strategy and luck makes it simultaneously engaging and
accessible to a wide variety of people. This project aims to bring the
Monopoly experience to players as a cross-platform desktop application.
## Why Monopoly?
As a player of the official PC port of *MONOPOLY® PLUS* from Ubisoft,
I was frustrated with many of the user interface choices, such as:
- Only being able to change transaction values by 1, making inputting
large values difficult
- Unclear controls for how to select properties to exchange during trades
Many of these issues with the user interface are due to the game being designed
for gamepad controllers. This usually makes the game unintuitive and unplayable
for desktop users, most of whom use mouse and keyboard to play.
As a project for school, I think Monopoly is a decently complex game that
will be interesting to design and implement, and is achievable within my
limits as a programmer.

## Phase 4: Task 3
If I were to refactor, I would change the ConsoleRenderer class to the singleton pattern. In the GameScene and MainScene
classes, a private field of the Application instance is needed so that the class can access the methods required for
drawing to the screen. However, we know that there should only ever be a single instance of the Application class, so
the singleton pattern would be appropriate to access these methods.
Since the instance of Application is only ever used by the scenes to draw to the screen, we can instead make the
ConsoleRenderer a singleton and directly access its implementation. By doing this, we avoid having to access the
Application class when drawing to the screen, and we can just let it handle the main application loop.
This creates an intuitive separation in logic, as the ConsoleRenderer class can handle drawing while the Application
class handles the higher level application logic. Making ConsoleRenderer a singleton also allows for easy access to the
draw methods in classes that need them, such as the GameScene and MainScene.
