The Set game only needs to allow users to pick sets and get points for doing so (e.g. it does not redeal new cards when sets are found). In other words, it works just like the Playing Card matching game. The only differences are that it is a 3-card matching game and uses different cards (deal your Set cards out of a complete Set deck).

Let’s start with the card model, instead of a suit and a rank, we have colors, symbols, shadings and the count of symbols, for which we create public properties, setters and getters, and therefore need also to synthesize them:

Add a new MVC to your Matchismo solution from last week which plays a simple version of the card matching game Set. A good solution to this assignment will use object-oriented programming techniques to share a lot of code with your Playing Card-based matching game.

As model, we need a set card and its deck. Create SetCard as subclass of Card and SetCardDeck as subclass of Deck.

As controller create SetCardGameViewController as subclass from CardGameViewController.

Your Playing Card game must continue to work as required from last week except that it only needs to work as a 2-card matching game (you can remove the switch or segmented control from your UI, but keep your 3-card matching infrastructure because Set is a 3-card matching game).

For convenience (and to confuse you), I will follow the tasks of this assignment slightly out of order. Let’s continue with task #3.

Remove the segmented-control element, adjust the size of the history label and slider, and move the score label and the deal button:

Use a UITabBarController to present the two games in your UI in separate tabs.
