Major Progress

With a group member gone this week my partner and I have made significant progress on our project. We have designed a full screen text window with appropriate inset margins, a scroll bar, and copy-paste functionality.

Now there are a few new problems that I anticipate. First of all we need to code a way to implement the two, separate windows we've programmed. This will require going into some java textbook and studying hierarchies again (super etc..). After this, I want to change the GUI theme that our java program uses to give it a more minimalist look. This requires the use of imported themes that I don't know how to implement.

A major problem we know reach is that it is hard for everyone to edit code on their own computer. That is, the code for the program has grown to an extant that sending everyone a copy is redundant. Also, as we get more complex, the program requires that we delve into the thorough documentation provided by Oracle (no easy task might I add).

In summation, our group has made a lot of progress this week. The main problem is that the more we get in to the details of GUI programming, the more necessary official documentation is. We need to find a way to efficiently edit and share code (possibly a cloud solution).
