AdventureMonster

Instructions

Create a new class Monster in a new file Monster.java.

This class inherits from Character.

It has one constructor, with the same 2 parameters (the name and the maxHealth) as Character.

You need to overwrite the toString method with the following format :

• if the monster is still alive : <name> is a monster with <currentHealth> HP.
• Otherwise : <name> is a monster and is dead.

Usage

Here is a possible ExerciseRunner.java to test your function :

public class ExerciseRunner {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Character aragorn = new Character("Aragorn", 20);
        Monster slime = new Monster("Slime", 15);

        System.out.println(Character.printStatus());

        Character winner = Character.fight(aragorn, slime);

        System.out.println(Character.printStatus());
    }
}

and its output :

$ javac *.java -d build
$ java -cp build ExerciseRunner
