Inspiration
Creating an interactive platform to help people learn about the cost of saving and expense, and hopefully help people save money for their goal.
What it does
A modified version of the monopoly game that allow user to make a choice of what item they want to spend they money on. Each item has its cost and description that help user makes a wiser decision.
How we built
We use open source framework and designed it with Java, Shell and Perl.
Challenges we ran into
Navigating around the framework. Review java jframe and swing libraries. Sleep deprived. Working with the limited java graphics class, which build the majority of the framework, to build an interactive experience.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to finish our project on time. It works!!!
What we learned
The pro and cons of using framework. Depending on the framework and, it may help boots up the time to finish the project. The coder can focus more on the functionality of the framework rather than the layout designing part. However, if the framework is difficult to use and navigate then it can also slow down the project
What's next for MoneySaver
Make it prettier. Redesign the layout. Embed it to a website and sync it to mobile device. Document the whole process in GitHub
