Water Class

1. • Create a new terrain class to represent water, using Dirt and Grass as an example.
     
     

Design Decision - How To Implement Soil

1. • In our game, the player can only plant crops in soil, rather than just plain dirt.  We'd also like to make the player have the ability to change dirt tiles into soil.

   • At this point, there are two reasonable implementations:

     • Create a seperate class for Soil, and add code to Cell which will manage the transformation of one Terrain type into another..

     • Have the Dirt class represent the different modes that Dirt can exist in - as plain dirt, dry soil, or wet soil.

   • We'll be using the second approach for this project - not because it's better, but because it's the simplest implementation.  You can always modify this later!

Adding Soil to the Dirt Class

1. • Create two boolean variables to represent the two states:  soil and wet.

   • Modify the constructor to take these variables as parameters so that you can create tiles that start out as Dirt.

   • Rather than setting the image directly in the constructor, we should create a method called setImage().  

     • This is because we'll want to change the image each time we modify the state of a Dirt object.  

     • By making this method, we'll avoid having to duplicate code.

Adding Soil and Water to the map

1. • Create a new map file that contains:

     • Grass

     • Dirt

     • Dry Soil

     • Water

   • Select any symbols to represent these new terrains
