So I spent the last few days developing a GUI (in this case a “form” window with buttons and information and text boxes). When the program loads you’re given a set of games to choose from and once a game is selected the window presents the appropriate options and begins running the game. It’s not all that attractive at the present time but it would be easy enough for someone else to improve if they wanted.

I have to admit, I’m rather proud of how my code is organized. (Ignore the rest of this paragraph if you’re not interested). I made an abstract Game class that has quite a bit of functionality in itself and which each of the other games (there’s currently 6) implement. Each game creates its own UserController (a set of controls without the window), which is loaded into the main window and replaced when the next game comes along. I also commented extensively and created a template class for making new games.

In addition to work, this week we also had to make posters. We have a poster session the last week where people can come and see what we’ve done and ask questions and the like. I’m quite happy with mine. Since I’m doing an exoskeleton project I included a picture of Iron Man. I’m not sure it’s completely appropriate (Iron Man was about weaponry and human enhancement while the arm I’m working with is for rehabilitation), but I did it anyway. Below is a picture of my draft, when I’m done I’ll find somewhere to put it that you can see the whole thing.
