CEL - Celebrity Lab Overview

Celebrity Lab

Introduction

In the Celebrity Lab we will create an application to play a version of the game Celebrity. Celebrity is a charades-like game where each player adds information about several “celebrities” to a pool. A random celebrity from the pool is picked and one player provides clues about the celebrity’s name. To play as a competitive game, teams of two work to guess as many celebrities as possible in rounds of one minute each until the pool is exhausted. The team with the most correct guesses wins. The Java application involves the use of classes and inheritance. A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided that will work for the user interface if certain specifications for the other classes are followed.
