Program Code – Java in Religion: Virtual Temple Tour Project

package virtualtempletour;

import java.util.Scanner;

// Class representing a virtual temple
class Temple {
    String name;
    String location;
    String deity;

    public Temple(String name, String location, String deity) {
        this.name = name;
        this.location = location;
        this.deity = deity;
    }

    // Method to display temple details
    public void displayInfo() {
        System.out.println('Welcome to ' + name);
        System.out.println('Location: ' + location);
        System.out.println('Deity: ' + deity);
    }

    // Method to conduct a virtual tour
    public void virtualTour() {
        System.out.println('You are now entering the ' + name);
        // Simulating walking through various parts of the temple
        for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
            System.out.println('Walking through the temple... ');
            // Sleep to simulate time passing as you 'walk'
            try {
                Thread.sleep(2000);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                System.out.println('The virtual tour was interrupted.');
            }
        }
        System.out.println('You have now arrived at the inner sanctum where the deity ' + deity + ' resides.
');
    }
}

// Main class to run the virtual temple tour
public class VirtualTempleTour {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Temple[] temples = {
                new Temple('Temple of Dawn', 'Bangkok, Thailand', 'Arun'),
                new Temple('Golden Temple', 'Amritsar, India', 'Harmandir Sahib'),
                new Temple('Kinkaku-ji', 'Kyoto, Japan', 'Rokuon-ji')
        };

        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println('Welcome to the Virtual Temple Tour!');
        for (int i = 0; i < temples.length; i++) {
            System.out.println((i + 1) + '. ' + temples[i].name);
        }
        System.out.println('Enter the number of the temple you wish to virtually visit: ');
        int choice = scanner.nextInt() - 1;
        if (choice >= 0 && choice < temples.length) {
            temples[choice].displayInfo();
            temples[choice].virtualTour();
        } else {
            System.out.println('Invalid choice, please restart the program and select a valid number.');
        }
        scanner.close();
    }
}

Code Output:

Welcome to the Virtual Temple Tour!
1. Temple of Dawn
2. Golden Temple
3. Kinkaku-ji
Enter the number of the temple you wish to virtually visit: 
1
Welcome to Temple of Dawn
Location: Bangkok, Thailand
Deity: Arun
You are now entering the Temple of Dawn
Walking through the temple...
Walking through the temple...
Walking through the temple...
You have now arrived at the inner sanctum where the deity Arun resides.

Code Explanation:

The program called ‘Virtual Temple Tour’ is designed to simulate a tour of various temples. The core components include a Temple class to model each temple and the main class VirtualTempleTour to handle user interaction and tour progression.

• In the Temple class:
  • A constructor initializes the temple’s name, location, and deity.
  • displayInfo() method prints out a welcome message along with the temple’s location and deity.
  • virtualTour() method simulates a tour through the temple by printing a message and using Thread.sleep(2000) to pause execution for 2 seconds, mimicking a walking experience.
• The VirtualTempleTour class has a main method which:
  • Creates an array of Temple objects, each one representing a different temple.
  • Initiates a loop to display all available temples to the user.
  • Prompts the user to make a selection on which temple to virtually visit.
  • Validates the user’s input and provides a tour of the chosen temple by invoking displayInfo() and virtualTour() methods of the selected Temple object.

The Scanner class handles user input. If the user selects an option that is not listed, the program outputs a message advising them to restart the program and choose a valid option. Otherwise, it displays the details of the selected temple and begins the virtual tour.

Overall, the program achieves the objective of simulating a virtual temple tour through object-oriented programming principles and basic control structures in Java.
