Cow Goes "Weekly Status Report 8" Moo

Week 8 of Cow Goes Moo,nothing new was learned because we had no lesson this week. Being a short 4 day week plus working on our big group project, we did not have any leesons. We did have some in between tips regarding on the group project. The project was given on monday. It was to develop a Pizza Palace Order Form where we can choose the different Pizza size, Pizza type, the toppings, side dishes and drinks and calculate the total price of all. It also had to include dialog boxes on the menu so the user can set his or her own prices of each items. We had to use many of the skills learned previous and incorporate all of them in order to finish the program. There were many parts to the program and each had to be broken down in order to make the process much easier. Just making the interface of the program took me a whole period.

Surprisingly as complicated as the program has been, we did not run into that many problems. One of the problems that I had to face was on the first day of working on the project, my partner was absent so I had to start off alone. When he came back the nest day, I had to explain him what we are working on and how much work was completed so far. Other problems occursed when starting a section of the program, we just struggles to find where to begin. We did get some help from mainly the teacher to get started off. Surprisingly once we started working on the codes, we did not make any errors in the codes so the program worked fine.

When the week was over, our project was roughly around 99% completed. I think only documemtation is left in order to complete the program. Third dialog box for the prgram seems to be done but we did not have time to check if it works properly. I am not completely sure of this because we may have forgot to do some of parts of the prgram. Finishinf the program for tuesday and making sure it functions properly is the main goal for the upcoming week.
