Run Project
work process and make sure that all of the
Java code that we have put into place during this chapter does what it is supposed to
do: that is, what we think that it should do. After all, that is what the programming
practice is all about: writing code that we think will do something, running it to see if it
does, and then debugging it to find out why it is not working, if in fact it is not. Once
you click on the Play button at the top of the NetBeans IDE and invoke the
Run
Project
process, the code will compile and the InvinciBagel game window seen in

will open up on your desktop. The first thing that you should notice is that
the InvinciBagel sprite is nowhere to be seen, since we added it to the root StackPane
object first instead of last, and so the splashscreen and game user interface design is
