⏰ 20 minutes MINI PROJECT

👤 About Me: Console Card

This week you fixed broken code and escaped two vaults. Today you build something from scratch: a program that prints a trading-card-style profile of YOU. Every line uses a skill from this week — variables, data types, concatenation, and operators. When it runs, it should look good enough to screenshot.

⏱ Your 20 minutes

0–3 minCopy the starter shell into Trinket or VS Code. Run it once to make sure it compiles.
3–15 minBuild your card: declare your variables, then print the card using them.
15–20 minRun the Pre-Flight Check below, fix anything amber, then show Mr. Babb your running program.

🎯 What it could look like

This is an example — yours should be about you, styled your way. Change the border characters, the stats, the flex line. Make it yours.

=============================
   PLAYER CARD: JORDAN M.
=============================
 Grade: 11
 Fav language (so far): Java
 Hours slept last night: 6
 Age in months: 192
 Days until graduation: 634
=============================
 "Compiles on the first try."
=============================

📋 Requirements

R1
Declare at least 2 String variables (name, quote, favorite anything...) and at least 2 number variables (int or double).
R2
Print your card with at least 6 println statements, and at least one of them must concatenate a String with a variable using +.
R3
At least one printed line must be computed with an operator (*, /, -, or %) — don't just type your age in months, make Java calculate it: age * 12.
⭐
Stretch goal (if you finish early): add ASCII-art initials, use a compound operator like +=, or compute something with double math (your GPA, your free-throw percentage...).

📦 Starter shell

Copy this in, run it, then build inside main. Declare variables at the top, print the card below.

public class AboutMeCard
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // 1. DECLARE your variables here (String, int, double)


        // 2. PRINT your card here using your variables
        System.out.println("=============================");


        System.out.println("=============================");
    }
}

🚀 Pre-Flight Check

Before you show Mr. Babb: paste your whole program below and hit the button. It checks your code against the requirements — green means go.

🚀 PRE-FLIGHT PASSED — all requirements detected.
Run it one more time, admire your card, and show Mr. Babb your screen.
Finished early? Grab a stretch goal from the requirements list.
