Lab 9 (Mar 25-26)

As always, use the lab time to get started on the new assignment.

If you are done with the assignment or want to work on something else during the lab here's a program from an earlier homework assignment (and lab) that has been adapted to save its state in a file through object serialization.

Object Streams

Here's a modified version of Step3 from assignment 4. What's in blue is the new part. The part that deals with the I/O is in italics.

Step3, as you well remember, allowed the user to move circles around, repositioning them on the screen. This functionality has been left unchanged. The circles were initialized according to the values in the arrays xCoords, yCoords, radii, and colors.

A menu has been added such that the user can save the state of the screen at any time (the other two options simply pop up message boxes).

Using menus with BreezyGUI is explained on pp. 168-169 in the text.

The program saves the array of Circles in a file
