[Javaquiz-developers] TODO:

[larry g. <lg...@co...>]

I have added many //TODO: comments, look for these using some search tool,
windows file finder, or an IDE search tool. vi editor will also search many
files at once.

Remember to update, commit often when you begin work, that way if two people
begin to work on the same method, you will know it, cvs will give a merge
error. Then you must cooridnate with other person trying to edit that
method. There may be a way with cvs to lock a file, but not aware of it
right now. I know you can track a file, so that if someone commits something
you get an email saying that file had been edited.

This is the most expediant method I have right now for creating work for
programmers to do.
thanks.

[Javaquiz-developers] javaquiz

[larry g. <lg...@co...>]

I'm looking into a way that we can use what is called the Strategy pattern
and possibly the builder pattern to build various types of questions with
various types of scoring and grading. This will add a little complexity as
far as the design goes, but should reduce our need for so many subclasses
that clutter up the packages. I may build a case test to prove the design
before we implement it on the project.

[larry g. <lg...@co...>]

I now have a working test for the MultipleChoiceUI class. Next we will work
on a test for the ExamUI. I hard coded a couple of test questions, the
answer to the first one is "gray", 2nd one is "behind a steering wheel"

[Javaquiz-developers] starting conversation

[larry g. <lg...@co...>]

Hello, When I began this project I wanted an exam applet that would
administer a multiple choice exam much like the SUN exams.  I  originally
wanted 4 kinds of question scoring, and wanted the code base to be
abstracted so that any kind of test or test question might be build up from
it.  I have had to cut back to sometime much simpler. Right now I simply
want a 4 answer multiple choice test. The first test can even be hard coded.
But for version 1.0 we need the applet reading the test from a web resource
somewhere somehow. I mean from a url, not from a database connection.

If we get that done, that is version 1.0, we can then dream of more
elaborate stuff.
