The step-by-step process of building a Java application for playing the two person version of Color Belot is provided in these seven lessons.

  1. In "Java I", the reader is shown how to construct a very simple application, one that prints the message "Hi".  Subsequent lessons will cover the Color Belot application.
  2. In "Java II", the reader is shown how to construct an interface that contains the shared constants that are needed for Color Belot.
  3. In "Java III", the reader is shown how the Card class is constructed.   The reader will learn about classes, methods, conditionals, and boolean expressions.
  4. In "Java IV", the reader is shown how both the "Cards" class and the "RunInfo" class are created.  The reader will learn about iterative constructs.
  5. In "Java V", the reader is shown the "Player" class.  This class organizes information pertinent to one of the Color Belot players.
  6. In "Java VI", the reader is shown the "Game" class.  This class provides the high level functionality for a game of Color Belot.
  7. In "Java VII", the reader is shown the "Belot" class.  This class contains the main program for the Color Belot application and serves as the driver for a game of Color Belot.
