2nd week

Last week we managed to make a completer window with a menubar at the top. The dropdown menu is shown, however we haven't gotten the buttons to function when clicked. We also added a text portion to the window, where the user can type and it will move to the next line after it reaches the end of the line. We also found the code to change the text, font, size, and style. attributedString.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FONT, font1, 10, 10). Also we got a window that goes fullscreen, however that is somewhere lost in the cyber world, so we will have to re-do that. This week's goal is to provide some functionality with the buttons on the menu-bar, most important ones are the open and save.

Ideas for JAVA Project

The plan for our java project is to be a word processor. We will have a text editor, where the user will be able to type their info in a non distracting environment. There will be many features, and we will try to make unique features that have not existed on Microsoft Word (our so-called "competition"). It is based on a Mac application called "WriteRoom" where the page takes the entire screen, and all the user sees is their text. LASA students will especially find this application useful, and since there is only a Mac version available, it will be something new for most people.

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog of Computer Science 2. Over the next couple of months I will be creating a JAVA application on the computer.
