So, what's the project your currently working on? :-)

I'm currently working on 2 things:

- An RGBA Image Filter
A Java Applet which uses parameters to adjust the RGBA values of an Image... And off course it has to work with JVM 1.1, which works fine till now :-)

- A Chatbox
I began learning Java because I wanted to make a chatbox... I've made 5 or 6 chatboxes so far, and still like it... I'm currently making a "WinXP" Chatbox, with Transparancy (not really simple to make :-P) and only Custom Components...

Check it out: http://www.java-guide.com/xpchat.jpg
Don't mind the texts, it's dutch :-)

That's enough for now :-P Let's see what you guys are working on :-)

looks kind of nice, and the texts are easy to understand *-)

I am currently working on a program to generate forum-postable RC5 stats from a ppstats server (if you do not understand what on earth I am saying, check: http://rc5.team-ngs.nl/rc5/ )

I parse a html file and output is another HTML file which is postable at the Team-NGS forum.

I am currently working on a program named "smartPublisher".
It generates pdf catalogs on the web or on the desctop.
See here for more details.

Well I am not working on any. I am just learning the syntaxes and the Java Library is Big. Its lot to remember, you have to refer to book/documentation everytime. Is it with me or its General?

It's general for beginners yes... I myself don't have this problem anymore :-)

You'll see, it'll work out fine, you just need to get it into your head :-)

[FONT=Impact][SIZE=7][COLOR=green]Hello all, just getting started out in java. I am currently taking a university class in the subject. Have already gotten the first program under my belt, and am now in the process of broadening that program with out using GUI's at this point.
The next challenge is to set up a system print that will have columns and rows to depict years of a mortage and the associated amortization tables. I am curious to know if there is a table set up format I could use and where to get some good tutorials so I understand it, dont just copy someone elses code.  This will be a yearly break down of the amount paid to principal, amount paid to interest, the remaining balence of pricipal at the end of that payment period, years left on loan. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

Posted 19 March 2005 - 12:35 AM

I'm working on a program that will randomly scramble and then solve a rubix cube on its own. (ultimate goal for this project: home-made screensaver) I got to the point where it would scramble the cube, and then I realized that I would actually have to learn how to solve a rubix cube on my own to be able to program it.....but now I've almost got it done. btw...if anyone knows how to make it actually look like the cube is turning (right now it just switches the colors) using the java.awt library, a little help with that would be appreciated.

that's bordering on the edge of game development. check out BufferStrategy and you'll have to code some animation. good luck.

Hi.  I'm studying computers at university and Java is one of my modules.  I am working on a GUI drawing package using AWT ans SWING libraries.  It's a lot of fun but can be very frustrating.  I sat shouting at my computer yesterday when code wouldn't work and my wife thought I was shouting at her.  lol

A GUI drawing app like Photoshop but nowhere near as advanced.  Definitly not that good at Java.

Yeah well, even if you have years and years of experience you won't be able to make such things... Java isn't even cut out for that :-)

Current Programs for Intro. to Programming using Java :

- 1st is my midterm for the class... We have to create software for a movie-rental type store... Using given input and certain ID's I have to create a program that allows you take out videos (vidID) and check it against stock room, and give a due date, etc...
Nothing too complex.

The next is a Vending Machine program to vend Starbucks© coffee in a variety of sizes and flavors, calculates cost, and depending on input of money entered you calculate change to the user... This one is using all kinds of GUI elements I have no idea how to use lol. Until now I haven't really played with GUI but I know it's a lot easier in Visual Basic, heh.

That sums up my programs for now:

( Whoever was creating that chatbox can you explain a little more on it )

  I'm into networking (mostly wireless) but I would like to know how it runs... Does it work on a LAN ? Via Web ? Just curious :D


So long.

That would be me ;-)

I can tell you everything you want to know... But I think it would be best if you would send me an e-mail or something like that :-)

Am working on a data logger that communicates with an industrial PLC. Is a desktop app Using awt/swing and sockets. Found a good graph drawing package, JCCKit (on sourceforge) for drawing up the logs.

getting there slowly, really loving jcreator :)
no point making your program so simple a dummy can use it cause the universe just keeps making a better dummy!

A university 1st year project for converting blissymbolics -> english and back
a simple 'shop database' program for a friend
a logfile analyser program for another friend
and finally, a multithreaded ircbot framework for myself

probably not a good idea to have so many projects on the go at the same time but ah well :/

well.. sometimes it happens that i look an old project and i don't remember what was its aim... however, now i'm working on a program called Storage Optimizer... it takes a list of objects (with their size) and tries to store them optimizing the left space... i'm stucked on the algorithm of rebuilding the solution...

I am currently coding a special purpose application.  It is a timer for debate rounds.  It may sound jokingly easy, but I am trying to make a better program than those currently available, which calls for some serious work.
