Assignment ContentImportant note: You must complete the Select a Business Plan assignment and get approval from your instructor for a business scenario before you begin this assignment.The purpose of the project proposal is to describe a project (i.e., to describe how to automate or improve the automation of a specific business process) and then to explain how completing the project will positively affect the business.Once a project proposal is accepted, project work can begin; therefore, a successful project proposal must include all of the information necessary for stakeholders to make a go/no-go decision, including a statement of scope, a list of the benefits you expect the proposed project to provide, and a rough estimate of how long it will take and how much it will cost to complete the project.For this assignment, you will create a 3- to 4-page project proposal for the business scenario you selected earlier this week and that was approved by your instructor. For your project proposal, be sure to:Complete the Project Proposal Template based on the business scenario you selected (and that was approved by your instructor) earlier this week. If you prefer, you may re-create the template using another software application of your choice, such as Microsoft Excel®.Develop a project definition and scope that defines the project and articulates the business context for the project.Identify problems that the proposed system is expected to solve (or opportunities the proposed project is expected to produce).Create project objectives.Create the project methodology or game plan.Compile a high-level schedule for completing the project scope. Refer to this week's learning activities for help creating your project proposal. Submit your assignment.

SUMMARY *** REMINDER: You can watch the video accompanying this lab as a reminder of how the game works from a user’s standpoint. The user first enters in the merkle root of four words the user will try to give to the merkle thread... this merkle root can be manually figured out by the user from the "NOTE" description on the top of page 2. Then a multithreaded portion of the app allows user submission of Strings on the main thread, and each of those Strings is grabbed by a Merkle or Rogue background thread depending on the user’s timing. If the Merkle thread gets enough words (4), then it will create a merkle tree and produce a merkle root string – and if it matches the initial merkle root entered by the user, the user wins … if it doesn’t match the user loses. Meanwhile, every word the rogue thread gets is a “strike.” 3 strikes and the user loses. The two background threads will sleep a random number of seconds which challenges the user to time their entry just right so that the Merkle thread gets the word and not the Rogue thread. A third Monitor thread in the background will check on progress and end the app once lost or won. So it's just a simple game to allow you to get some coding experience with multithreading and Merkle roots. DETAILS You’re creating a console app. Remember that it’s easier to prompt the user for input using the JOptionPane, which you’ll create a method for near the end in the Util class. This is because if you use System.in from the console text, your typing gets mixed in with the threads waking up and typing stuff to the console window. Classes MerkleManager_Test Will have main method and will instantiate instance of MerkleManager and call manage function... that's it. MerkleManager Instance variables: Public & static & volatile String for User’s entered word. Public & static String for user entered expected merkle root. Public & static String for merkle root set to null. Public & static int for strikes set to 0. Method: A public "manage" method and this will be called by the MerkleManager_Test class's main method. No inputs or outputs. Use Util class (that you’ll create later on below) to prompt user for the expected merkle root (The merkle root of the four words the user will enter later as specified down below in the UI Menu Loop). Put user entered text into the instance variable to hold for end of game comparison. NOTE: Use https://www.xorbin.com/tools/sha256-hash-calculato... to figure out merkle root of the four words you expect to use just like we do in the code: EXAMPLE: H6: Merkle root   / \   H4 H5 / \ / \   H0 H1 H2 H3   | | | | “word1” “word2” “word3” “word4” if your words were “word1”, “word2”, “word3”, “word4”, then you would enter “word1” into the above web page and get the hash (H0), Then do the same with the others. Then combine each pair of hashes, so the hash of “word1” (H0) together with the hash of “word2” (H1), and get the hash of that long string (H4). You’ll do that twice, once for the first two (H0 & H1) and once for the second two (H2 & H3). So you now have H4 & H5. Finally, then combine those resulting two hashes (H4 & H5) into one string in the web page entry to produce another hash – this is your merkle root hash. Copy this merkle root from the web page and paste into your user entry when prompted in the console. Start 3 separate threads: Instantiate and start new threads for… MerkleThread, RogueThead, MonitorThread. Begin UI question Loop: Just use while(true) to make an eternal loop (because the monitor will eventually close the app). Ask user for a word and put it into instance variable for user’s word. Method: A public & static & synchronized method called grabWord. No inputs but returns a String. Puts instance variable of user’s word into a temp String variable and then makes the instance variable null. Then returns the temp variable. MerkleThread This class must implement Runnable. Instance variables: Public & static & volatile ArrayList<String> that holds all the grabbed words. Example: public static volatile ArrayList<String> lstWords; Private int called iMerkleTreeInputs for how many words to wait for before creating a merkle tree. Set it equal to 4. Method: A public “run” method that is triggered when “start” is called from MerkleManager. No inputs or outputs. Instantiate a Util class object (Util class is defined lower down). Instantiate the ArrayList instance variable. Example: lstWords = new ArrayList(); Create a neverending while loop like this: while(true){… In loop, do all the following: Call sleepRandomTime on util variable. Cal grabWord on MerkleManager. Example of how to call static method:   String sNewWord = MerkleManager.grabWord(); Then if sNewWord is not null: Print out that Merkle grabbed a word. Add word to lstWords like this: lstWords.add(sNewWord); Check if lstWords.size() is equal to iMerkleTreeInputs. And if true, then set MerkleManager.sMerkleRoot to the merkle root generated by the getMerkleRoot method on util class. RogueThread This class must implement Runnable. Method: A public “run” method. No inputs or outputs. Instantiate a Util object. Create a neverending loop again just like you’ve done before. Inside loop, do all the following: Call sleepRandomTime on util variable. Call grabWord similar to how described in MerkleThread. If sNewWord is not null: Increase iStrikes static variable on MerkleManager by 1. Print out to screen that rogue grabbed a word and mention “STRIKE!” MonitorThread Method: “run” method just as in the other Thread classes. Create endless loop as you’ve done above. If MerkleManager.sMerkleRoot is not null then… If the above merkle root equals the initial user-entered merkle root (which you can access the same way as above since they’re both static on MerkleManager): Then print out “You win: “ followed by the merkle root (which is the above static variable on MerkleManager) and exit the app. Else if they’re not equal, then tell the user and that the user lost – and exit the app. To exit: System.exit(0); Else if MerkleManager.iStrikes equals 3 then print out “3 strikes: you lost!” or something like that and exit the app as shown in line of code above. After the if-else statement, then call sleep on util object and sleep for 1 second. (if you don’t do this, the endless loop never allows updates on that thread to see MerkleManager’s changing values.) MerkleNode Three instance variables: sHash is a String. oLeft is a MerkleNode. oRight is a MerkleNode. vii.Util This will have helper functions that all the classes can use. Method: Public method called getMerkleRoot. Inputs: ArrayList<String> type for the list of words from MerkleThread. Description: Not much description here since we did this in class. Creates 7 MerkleNode objects and slowly builds tree to get merkle root. Method: Private method called populateMerkleNode. Inputs: Three MerkleNode types: first is to be populated, second is to be the left node of the first node, and third is to be the right node of the first node. Desctiption: Not much description because was reviewed in class. Basically sets hash, left, and right node values. Method: generateHash NOTE: This method is given to you on Canvas in this week’s module and in class. Method: public method called promptUser. Input: String of question to ask user. Output: String answer from user. Description: Use JOptionPane class to get user input so that the user doesn’t have to type while all the other text is being printed out. Code provided here for getting user input in case you haven’t used JOptionPane before: //at top of file to allow use of JOptionPane: import javax.swing.JOptionPane; //inside class public String promptUser(String sQuestion){ JOptionPane oQuestion = new JOptionPane(); String sAnswer = oQuestion.showInputDialog(sQuestion); return sAnswer; } Method: public method called sleepRandomTime. NOTE: This whole method is given to you in this week’s module, so you can download it there. Input: String for thread name. Output: void. Description: Get random int from SecureRandom class between 0 and 5, and then add 3 to it. Print out how many seconds the thread is going to sleep for. Call below sleep method passing in the random int (which will range between 3 and 7). Method: public method called sleep. Input: int for seconds. Output: void. Description: Make a try-catch statement… Inside the try, sleep the thread, which means you must multiply the int variable by 1000. No need to do anything in catch statement, just as demoed in class.
