Overview

This is a project for students to complete after they have learned about 2D arrays. It is based on the fun and popular game "Don't Touch the White Tile". This project is a ton of fun with many extensions possible.

Note: this project is done with console based Java ONLY. It works with trinket.io, VSCode, and Eclipse (and should work with other online IDEs with Java).

Timeline

It took my students on average 3 class periods (~49 minutes) to finish. My students have been coding in Java for about 6 months and some also had previous experience with 2D lists in Python. Depending on the Java experience (and programming experience in general) you may want to allocate more.
