Firstly i did blog last week. take a look you will see that for the past 5 weeks i have bloged on the tuesday every week. you sheet said nonthing new just wanna clear that up.

This week just continued working on the class diagram. wont be a 100% complete diagram as the screen layout havent been complete there is no swing compnets in the digram. i will have to add them later. thoguh is is accurate for the backend, a few this will most likly change. like the generate report funtion is a massive operation and i will most likely split it up in to multiple smaller operations but atm i cannot predict how i will split it up.

It has been a while scince i have made a sequence diagram so i'm not sure if i got it right. i wanted to show my team mates in the tute but but as the VP program on the lab comps is a eailer version to the one i use at home i couldn't open it. thoguh i doubt they would be able to help me any way. normaly when i make a sequence diagram i write the code and use a program to generate a sequence diagram from the code.

also i gotta do a small write up for my section will do this to night. alex did ok in his section. he got one of the GUIs wrong and didnt go in to enough detail in the last part. michel said he would fix it up, as alex didnt come to the tute we have no way to show him whats wrong and how to fix and it would be too hard over phone/email.

Should have it done by friday if we work hard on it.

This week i have been working mainly on the class diagram. been finding this quite hard as i normaly make the class diagram after i finish the program, getting hard to visulist what attributes i'll need and what methods i'll have. like in the gui i normaly have multipleb methods to set up the screen layout, this is not because it is needed but to make it easier to read/edit like 1 method sets up the buttons the other does the labels etc, and as i normaly workthis out on the fly wether i should split up a method i cannot model this correctly.

i have the basic of the clas diagram done just evry time i look at it i find new clases i want to add or methods i'll need. should be ok in a week once i have thought it through fully.

The interface design is goingb well alex is doing a good job of it had to help him a bit in the tute with it as he dosnt have the full picture yet. must say yang isn't doing much he was ment to be helping alex with the interface designs and didnt produce anything this week. I dont think alex and yang have a clear understanding of the project we are building, alex is getting a clearer veiw though and making an effort to uderstand and is doing some work, yang though dosnt appear to be doing anything nor does he seem to have a very good grasp on what we are doing.

This week i dint do much on the project. i did my part for the Func rec spec and left it to my group mates. i wanted to start on some of the design diagrams and stuff this week but but to many project, accounting in particular, i havent had time to do them, hope to start them this week though.

In other news we defeated mulgar this week. mainly due to the collapse of the guild NOS we were able to get alot of other skilled players in the guild which made it alot easier. took a few tries to get it, main problem to beginwith was the positioning of the dps always getting caught in mulgar's whirlwind and ding then later the tanks seemed to be ding alot as the hearers had to move and couldnt heal. got him down but it was close went thorugh about 13 tanks in the fight 2(thanks to Soulstones and rebirth) but we got him down. next week we hope to take out Guurl.
