[Request]Java projects? - Apathetic1 - 03-11-2012

Hey,

I'm in the process of learning java, at the moment I'm at a just above basic level
and I would like to improve and see what I can do with java.

So if anyone would like to suggest a project(s) or an idea on what to code, go for
it and I'll give it a try Smile.

Hmm.

Make a basic GUI with a text box. A button. And a cute design.

Make the program popup a message saying whatever it was typed into the text box Smile

All ready have Smile, I've made a calc, a convertor and a few other things - so maybe I'm border lining moderate experience and I have a pretty decent understanding of the syntax and am able to use the API pretty good. I've also done some abstract classes and interfaces.

More advanced than I thought ^_^

Make a little project that has two text boxes and obviously a form. Give the form a cute little design and such.

With the two text boxes, make one read only and make the other writable.

Make the project do this:
Quote:when typing into the writable box the same text is outputted into the read only box
Then change it up a bit and experiment Smile

I think that the ideas you're presenting to him have actually nothing to do with Java and programming itself, but just specific GUI API and design, just gluing some pre-made elements with a little bit of code, that's no programming challenge.

You can for example try programming a simple expression parser that will read and evaluate some expression that user inputs in a box and then render it as a graph, a simple 2D graph (thus you have only one variable - x) will do.

For example, the user will type
Code:
sin(x)
And it will render a sine graph. However he can also type something more complex like:
Code:
sin(x*2)+cos(abs(4-x))^2
And your code will parse and calculate and render this equation as a graph also.

I will attempt both, either later on tonight or tomorrow Smile.



Edit: Screwed up my schedule, should be able to start both in a couple days as I've other shit to do at the moment Sad
