Capstone Project Final Critique Documentation

For the final critique, I have decided to convert my project into a toy train layout simulator. I am currently placing an emphasis on improving the design of the project. Please see the following contemporary screenshots of the project below.

IACD Artistic track layout

Features:

• Build intersecting train tracks.
• Run cars along the tracks.
• Build direction indicators to specify witch branches cars should take when they get to a branch.
• Hotkeys for easy building.
• Simplified behavior for this Toy version.

What Bryce Did:

• Bryce majorly simplified and re implemented his JAVA game engine.
• Bryce simplified his personal GUI framework to now use event based buttons without polling and the new wonderful functional programming features of JAVA 8
• Bryce implemented the interface logic and mappings between all of the components.
• Bryce implemented train track following algorithms and a representation for the mathematical state of the track layouts.
• Bryce implemented the logic for input/output mappings and allowing cars to branch based on the logical system.
• Bryce  received some major design help from Miles Peyton.
