Forever Odd

I am proud to announce the release of my SOS Game version 1.0.  This is the first “major” application I have done from start to finish on my own following some sort of software design.  Typically I would just dive in and started coding my applications, but this time I started by coming up with [...]

The following is a summary of the glitches I found and thus fixed along with a little background on how I enhanced the look and feel of the GUI. Pre 1.0 release testing Fixes: WinnerView was not clearing the winner of previous game when new game was created Board: added variable boardSize, which stores SMALL, [...]

I am pretty much ready to release v1.0 of my SOS game, however, I was hoping that I would have come up with a logo that I could use to represent both my website and my software. The following is a summary of my progress this week leading up to the release of version 1.0 [...]

Version 1.0 contains these features from the original feature set: Playing area (grid) Two player Three difficulty settings (ie: board sizes) Scoreboard to keep track of the SOS’s for each player Undo Player 1 goes first Assign own name Help/Instructions On top of initial feature set I added: Games won: the ability to keep track [...]

A grid of nxn squares (where n>=3) is drawn in the playing area.  The first player places an S or an O into one of the squares upon the board, at which point it is then the second players turn.  The second player has the option of placing an S or an O in an [...]

I am very happy with my progress so far.  Especially how I have been able to overcome obstacles along the way, in order to get to the point in my program that I am at now.  Last night I was up until 1AM working on getting some of the underlying logic to work with the GUI [...]

I was casually working on my SOS program this week, until last night, when I shifted into over-drive and was determined to get a decent graphical user interface (GUI) to display the different views going.   I actually got so caught up in it that I was up until 1AM, but I don’t mind. I know, creating a GUI [...]

I have made some more progress on my program this week, although I would have made some more progress on my program this week, although I did not get to spend as much time as I would have liked because of things I had to do including capturing home videos. At this point, although it [...]

Throughout the week I have worked on my program on and off, the longest sitting being Friday night from around 8PM until 1AM when I finally went to bed.  I am tentatively done the classes GridBagConstraintsExt, MoveHistory, Move, Options, Player, Position, and UndoView. The following is what I have modified in my UML diagram as I found the errors, [...]
