So with the CS124 assignment finally complete, with minimal work from my group. Here is the finished product.

I’ve had a meeting with someone from the group and at least got an email back from one other.

Anyway, code wise what’s new is that I’ve rewritten a lot of the class selection and dragging system, it’s now much neater.

Also I’ve added some colours to it and replaced those horrible rectangles with rounded rectangles. I’ve also added the name of the class inside it which if too long get shortened to fit in the box under the variable sensibleName xD Why anyone would want to have a 20 char class name is mad anyway.

So the group project was going well until sadly, Jon had to leave university due to health issues. However as far as I know he’ll be coming back eventually. So as a result I’ve been put in a group with 3 other people. Who, with 2 weeks until the deadline, have not even met once. 2 of them haven’t even bothered responding to emails from the one member who does seem to want to work.

There’s only 2 people in my group project (including myself) but I can tell you SVN is a life saver it took us no more than 20 minutes before we realised it was going to be a complete bitch for us both to work at the same time. And Information Services kindly put Jon on the same VLAN as me so we could all access my SVN server.

Damian in IS is a bit of a legend, he even moved some VLANs round so I could play Minecraft on the campus network 😀

Now that we’ve made a specification and sketched a GUI design this project, in my opinion is on the edge of being impossible for people of our coding skill.
