Hey, I am the programmer on team 4334 (ATA) and I've been working on a bare-bones base code that allows for relatively easy insertion of specific stuff, but its mostly useful because of all the features it allows you to implement.
I just started to learn java in week 2 of build season (Built my first tic-tac-toe game the first day of week 2
) and ended up actually taking over our programming team.
We didn't have a mentor this year to help with programming, and basically it has consisted of me, someone else who comes in occasionally and chief delphi as a guide
. Because we didn't have a mentor, I'm gonna bet that there a lot of things that I do in a different way then most programmers, but for this I decided to document it fully (At least as much as I have ever done) to aide in other team's understanding of what's going on.
I would really appreciate it if you gave it a look or two, and told me what you think. (Specific changes to be made, general style, ways to do things more effectively, opinion about the javadocs, etc.)
I'd really like this to turn into something I will continue to update throughout summer, fall and build season for other teams (New and old alike). Maybe even I could work with some of you guys to improve it (Because naturally, more experience = better quality code).
Thanks for your time, hope you enjoy !
Joel
