Advantages and disadvantages of using software service providers for organization’s software needs:

Advantages:

  • Large scale companies can easily rely on software service providers to make the management of services easy.
  • A company which has many departments can easily depend on a software service provider in order to deliver all the necessary software for each department.
  • Company which uses software service provider need not to worry about the development of software for each of the departments which helps in saving time and money.
  • Relying on a software service provider shifts the attention of company from software to other tasks which will help in utilizing the time in a productive manner.

Disadvantages:

  • The price of the software can be raised by the software service provider.
  • The organization has to search for other options in order to cut the costs, if the price becomes unbearable.
  • An organization has to always depend on the software service provider in terms of development.
  • As the organization cannot develop their own software, their productivity and operations may get hampered.
  • Incompatibilities among the software may arise when a company’s departments decide to develop and implement their own software...

Add a timer in the following code. public class GameGUI extends JPanel {    private final Labyrinth labyrinth;    private final Player player;    private final Dragon dragon;    private Timer timer;    private long elapsedTime;  public GameGUI(Labyrinth labyrinth, Player player, Dragon dragon) {        this.labyrinth = labyrinth;        this.player = player;        this.dragon = dragon;        String playerName = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter your name:");        player.setName(playerName);        elapsedTime = 0;        timer = new Timer(1000, e -> {            elapsedTime++;            repaint();        });        timer.start(); }    @Override    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {        super.paintComponent(g);        int cellSize = Math.min(getWidth() / labyrinth.getSize(), getHeight() / labyrinth.getSize());}
Change the following code so that when player wins the game, the game continues by creating new GameGUI with the same player. However the player's starting position is same, everything else should be reseted. public static void main(String[] args) {        Labyrinth labyrinth = new Labyrinth(10);        Player player = new Player(9, 0);        Random rand = new Random();        Dragon dragon = new Dragon(rand.nextInt(10), 9);        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Labyrinth Game");        GameGUI gui = new GameGUI(labyrinth, player, dragon);         frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());        frame.setSize(600, 600);        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);        frame.add(gui, BorderLayout.CENTER);        frame.pack();        frame.setResizable(false);        frame.setVisible(true);    } public class GameGUI extends JPanel {    private final Labyrinth labyrinth;    private final Player player;    private final Dragon dragon;    private Timer timer;    private long…
Create a menu item which restarts the game. Also add a timer, which counts the elapsed time since the start of the game level. When the restart is pressed, the restarted game should ask the player' name  (in the GameGUI constructor) and set the score of player to 0 (player.setScore(0)), and the timer should restart again. And create a logic so that if the player loses his life (checkGame if the condition is false), then save this number together with his name into two variables. And display two buttons where one quits the game altogether (System.exit(0)) and the other restarts the game. public class GameGUI extends JPanel {    private final Labyrinth labyrinth;    private final Player player;    private final Dragon dragon;     private final ImageIcon playerIcon = new ImageIcon("data/images/player.png");    private final ImageIcon dragonIcon = new ImageIcon("data/images/dragon.png");    private final ImageIcon wallIcon = new ImageIcon("data/images/wall.png");    private final ImageIcon…
