For this exercise you will draw several patterns similar to an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishihara_test Ishihara-style color blindness] test. The basic idea is that many randomly-sized circles are drawn, with a number or other meaningful pattern distinguished by some circles being colored differently from the rest.  An example of such a test is shown below:

You are not going to draw numbers, but rather several simple shapes: either a large '''circle''', '''square''', or a '''diamond'''.  We provide a [http://nameless.cis.udel.edu/class_wiki/index.php/CISC181_F2017_JFrameExample <tt>ColorJComponent.java</tt>] class to use as a template.  This class already draws randomly-placed, randomly-sized, non-overlapping circles, as shown below:

* Each small circle should be ''filled'' with a randomly-chosen [https://www.rapidtables.com/web/color/RGB_Color.html RGB color] as follows:

** If the current "hidden shape" is a ''square'': If the small circle's center is inside the shape, draw it with a random RGB in the orange/yellow range.  If it is outside the shape, choose a random RGB in the cyan/green range.

Preliminaries

This assignment continues our use of the Swing library for basic drawing, but also requires mouse interaction and timer events. For review, here again is the documentation for the JFrame, JComponent, Graphics, and Color classes. But also: MouseListener and Swing Timer.

Just like last time:

  • Make a new project (but now n = 3) following these instructions.
  • Name your class "Lab3". This happens when you are creating a new module, in the Java class name field

Instructions

Modify Lab3.java as you did last week:

For this exercise you will implement the "Game of Life", a cellular automaton on 2-D grid invented by mathematician John Conway in 1970. The update rules are as follows:

  • For a space that is 'populated'
    • Each cell with one or zero neighbors dies, as if from loneliness
    • Each cell with four or more neighbors dies, as if by overpopulation
    • Each cell with two or three neighbors survives
  • For a space that is 'empty' or 'unpopulated', each cell with exactly three neighbors becomes populated

There is a link to a web-based implementation [ https://bitstorm.org/gameoflife/ here]. Your implementation does not need to look like this. Rather, at a minimum you must have the following features:

  • At least 100 x 100 grid (larger window, of course)
  • The grid is on a torus (i.e., it wraps horizontally and vertically)
  • No sliders or menus -- just buttons outside of grid area. Don't use JButtons -- just draw rectangles with explanatory labels (strings) and react to mouse clicks inside them.
    • You should provide at least "Clear" (revert grid to all empty), "Start" (begin running simulation steps automatically at some regular time interval), "Stop" (pause simulation animation), "Next" (take exactly one step of the simulation and show result)
    • Buttons that correspond to 4 or more common patterns (e.g., glider, exploder, tumbler). If you choose one of these, then click on the grid, the currently-selected pattern should be "dropped" at that location. Otherwise clicking on a grid square should toggle it from empty to full or back.
    • A "Random" button should randomly populate the entire grid with a well-chosen uniform probability

Finishing up

Remember to use proper naming and formatting style throughout your code, and submit your Lab3.java and LifeJComponent.java on Canvas by midnight (or just after) on Tuesday, March 12
