Week 12

 Week 12 (3/26-4/1)

Project 1: LDPM

With whom did you work? Wootark Kim and Michael Sorensen

What was your strategy for solving the assignments? reading the prompting a few times and analyzing the logic and data structures and line-by-line implementing methods

Did you start writing code right away? Did you plan it out on paper? I did not start right away, and yes, I used paper for methods() names, types, and access modifiers. I read the prompt first, then looked at the UML piece by piece and had it on the side to keep looking at it for the access, types, and names for the methods; then I started writing fields, autogenerated constructors, setters/getters and started working on the most challenging methods first and left the easiest ones to the end

What was THEIR strategy for solving the assignments? It seemed like they also followed line by line and added internal comments in their methods to help them not get lost

How would you change your strategy having worked on the assignment? Maybe work on the easiest methods first and then the most challenging ones to the end, it gives room to leave the frustration to the end and not the beginning

According to your classmate(s): how well does your code follow the Google Java Style Guide? When I showed them my classes, I didn't have the Javadoc fully developed, so they suggested that I finish the documentation before the submission

Did you know you can automate applying some of the style guide rules? I learned that while working on the project.

What was the most challenging part? attackModifier(), I used hashmaps and a helper method but then I realized that it applied a lot more lines of code and gave me trouble later on, the TA suggested removing the helper method because it didn't follow the Java style guide

What was the most interesting? the attack(), attackModifier(), sub classes, calculateAttackPoints(), toString() and the setType()

What are you the most proud of? passing all tests.

How did you celebrate completing the assignment? I actually celebrated by starting the Jotto Guess Word game right away :( this class goes by way too fast to be able to even celebrate.
