🃏 War Card Game – Java OOP Project

📦 Overview

This project is a card game simulation built using Java and OOP principles.
Players engage in a War card game, where they draw and compare cards, with special "War" rounds implemented.

👩‍💻 My Contribution

I designed and implemented the War Round from scratch, handling both backend logic and frontend UI updates, making this a beginner-level full-stack project.

Backend (Game Logic)

• Developed War round mechanics, ensuring the game correctly identifies and executes "War" scenarios
• Implemented round outcome logic: determining the winner, redistributing cards, and handling tie-breaking conditions
• Added state checks to ensure proper flow between standard rounds and War rounds

Frontend (Game UI)

• Created visual elements for the War round (e.g., three additional cards displayed during War)
• Implemented UI updates to dynamically reflect game state changes
• Found and integrated custom card assets
• Managed button interactions and animations during War

This project helped me develop full-stack skills, from backend logic implementation to UI interaction and design.
