magic 8 ball

I used java to create a virtual magic 8 ball. The user types in a question and then clicks the "ask the magic 8 ball" button and a response is generated. I used the random library to generate random responses. The buttons and textbox on the graphics interface were done using the java swing library.

Code:

import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.*;

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;

import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

import java.awt.image.ImageObserver;

import java.util.Random;

public class ball8 implements ActionListener {

private JLabel label;

private JFrame frame;

private JButton button;

private final JTextField textbox;

private JLabel question;

public ball8(){

frame = new JFrame();

frame.setSize(400, 400);

question = new JLabel("Ask a yes/no question: ");

textbox = new JTextField(16);

button = new JButton("Ask the magic 8 ball");

button.addActionListener(this);

label = new JLabel("Your fate has been determined: ");

JPanel panel = new JPanel();

panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(30, 30,10, 30));

panel.setLayout(new GridLayout(0, 1));

panel.add(question);

panel.add(textbox);

panel.add(button);

panel.add(label);

frame.add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER);

frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

frame.setTitle("Magic 8 ball");

frame.pack();

frame.setVisible(true);

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

new ball8();

}

@Override

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

String[] message = {"Reply hazy, try again", "Yes", "No", "maybe", "outlook not so good"};

Random r = new Random();

int randomNumber = r.nextInt(message.length);

label.setText("Your fate has been determined: " + message[randomNumber]);

textbox.setText(" ");

}

}
