Class JottoModel

java.lang.Object
  games.jotto.model.JottoModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

IJottoModel

public class JottoModel
extends java.lang.Object
implements IJottoModel

This is the Jotto model. This class keeps words and a status-flag indicating whether human or computer is guessing. The view communicates with this class: The method newGame clears state so that the computer can begin to guess the user's word (i.e., when myModelGuesses == true) or the computer picks a secret word that the human-user tries to guess.
