Fortune Cookie

Goal: Make a Swing program from scratch.

The program will have a window (frame) with a button that gives one of five random fortunes when clicked.

1. Make a FortuneCookie class, with a showButton() method like the one below:

   public class FortuneCookie {
        public void showButton() {
            System.out.println("Button clicked");
       }
    }

2. Now make a runner class to run the code above, like the one below:

   public class FortuneCookieRunner {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            new FortuneCookie().showButton();
      }
   }

3. Now change the showButton() method in Step 1, to make a JFrame and get it to show up when you run the program. Hint:

   frame.setVisible(true);

4. Make a JButton and add it to the JFrame.

    JButton button = new JButton();
    frame.add(button);
    frame.pack();

5. The next 4 steps make a pop-up appear that says, “Woohoo” when the button is clicked

     a. Add an action listener to the button:

button.addActionListener(this);

     b. Have your class implement ActionListener [use Eclipse quick fix]

     c. Add the unimplemented methods [use Eclipse quick fix]

     d. Put a JOptionPane pop-up inside the actionPerformed() method that says "Woohoo".

6. Generate a random number between 0 and 4:

   int rand = new Random().nextInt(5);

7. Depending on which random number, show one of the five fortunes.

[optional] 8. Run other student's programs to receive fortunes from them.
