When the game starts up it loads the deck that was created the last time the program was ran. The program allows the user to add a card and edit the front and back of the card. Once the card is added, the screen updates to the added card. At the bottom of the window are show front/back buttons that allow you see what is on the back or front side of the card. At this stage of the project, the user can choose to upload a picture to the front side of the card, but not for the back. The future aims of the program is to have the ability to choose what deck the cards are being chosen from and to allow the user to create more decks. The ability to keep track of which card the user is able to memorize is another addition that this memorize application should be able to do. There would be a button that the user can press to indicate if he got it wrong or right and would be based on the honor system, since the program is not designed to let people type in their answers.
Documentation: The main screen and much of the implementation is inside NameGame.java The pop up window to edit/add a card is implemented in CardEditor.java. Deck.java is an arraylist class of Cards (which is defined in Card.java) Main.java initiates the frame. Run by simply calling "ant run" in the root folder.
The project, due to our changes from Swing to JavaFX, now looks much better and it is easier to make changes to the UI. Our advice would be reading all of the code and understanding how the different components work together, as well as how the UI components function in JavaFX.
Future opportunities include adding more unit tests for classes, refactoring for duplicate button functionality, and enabling cards to open in separate windows for ease of use.
Everything in this project currently compiles and runs properly. As of right now, the program is a flash card game similar to Quizlet, but used for memorizing people's names. The point of the program is that you can add someone's picture to one side of the card and their name to the other, and then quiz yourself. There is currently a main mode where you manually quiz yourself, and a quiz mode that automatically checks your answers.
The code can be somewhat dense, but it is fairly easy to understand. Most of the GUI is handled in NameGame, but some of it is spread throughout the other classes. It might be a good idea to factor out all of the GUI into one central class. We have now added some basic JUnit tests, but not all of the tests pass. This is because of some errors in previously written code. A good first step might be to run the JUnit tests and fix the currently failing issues.
Other than fixing these small bugs and refactoring the GUI, moving forward with the project could go in a few different directions. One main direction we see is switching the GUI from Swing to JavaFX. This would make it look much nicer and be easier to add new animations and features in the future. Another possible route would be to turn it into a web app with shared card decks.
Everything is handled in NameGame for the most part. The rest is done in Main. The best thing you can do to understand the code is to understand NameGame. Almost all of the functional code comes from the actionlisteners (which are tied to the editor classes). The rest of it is tied to the gui for the most part. At the time I'm writing this, the back end should have little to no errors. The GUI has a couple of bugs, most of them come from updating the GUI and from using the cancel button. You could probably get some points from updating the README.
