Project Overview

The Concept

Chatterify is an interactive JavaFX desktop application that combines a conversational chatbot with a suite of engaging mini-games to deliver an educational and entertaining user experience. Built as a demonstration of modern Java desktop development, it showcases how a chatbot can orchestrate user interaction, manage game logic, persist data, and integrate external services within a clean, modular architecture.

By blending GUI design, event-driven programming, file persistence, and network communication, the application provides a seamless environment where users can chat, play games, track progress, and receive motivational feedback—all from a single, intuitive interface.

Chatterify reflects both technical depth and creative design, making it a strong example of a polished, feature-rich JavaFX application.

Application Flow

How users interact with Chatterify from launch to completion

  1. User launches Chatterify - Application starts with initialization
  2. Previously saved scores are loaded - Data persistence restores user progress
  3. Chatbot greets the user - Friendly welcome with available options
  4. Mini-game selection via chat commands - Natural language game selection
  5. Game opens in dedicated window - Smooth multi-window JavaFX UI
  6. Scores calculated automatically - Real-time performance tracking
  7. Results saved upon completion - Automatic data persistence
  8. Continue chatting or exit - Seamless session continuation

Data Model & Persistence

Each game session is represented by a GameScore object containing:

  • Game name and player name
  • Score and completion status
  • Date and time played
  • Number of attempts and difficulty level

A dedicated DataManager module handles saving and loading scores, calculating statistics (high scores, averages), and maintaining data integrity across sessions.

Network Features

Chatterify retrieves motivational quotes from the Quotable API with graceful fallback to local quotes if the API is unavailable, demonstrating HTTP communication and JSON handling in Java.
