DOT GAME

[Sal Shah]

PLEASE COULD YOU HELP ME IN CREATING A DOT GAME IN JAVA?
*******************************************************
THIS IS MY ASSIGNMENT
***************************************************
Design and develop an interactive visual 'stand‐alone' event‐driven Java application implementing the “Dots Game”. This is a two‐player game in which each player clicks in turn on a dot from a matrix of dots on the screen. The total number of dots in the matrix MAY NOT be less than 20. The first player makes a dot red. The second player makes a dot blue. If two adjacent dots are the same colour, a line in that colour is drawn between them. The winning player is the one who has the most lines drawn when all the dots have been clicked.
The application should be provided with a menu that includes menu items that display dialogs so that a player can enter name, age, and gender (only one of two possible genders!) and the player details can be saved in a file.
