Part 1a: Find the Secret Message

Year 11 Computer Science – Java DarkRoom Pro Part 1a: Find the Secret Message

We have two photos (Maria.bmp and SecretMessage.bmp) that look almost identical, but if we compare them – you can see a secret message!

In Picture.java main method, we load in the photo Maria1.bmp:

Picture pic = Picture.loadPicture("Maria1.bmp");

Add code to the main method to load in the photo SecretMessage.bmp.
Create a new photo by calling the method showDiﬀerences. Note: You need to look at the method to ﬁgure out how to call it.
Look at the new photo you created in the previous step using the method show().
Write a description of the secret message in a comment at the top of Picture.java
