Week6

Objectives
Same as last week

Progress
Implemented the Santa, Elfs and Reindeer process. Added a "clean stop" functionality that make robots return to their initial position and stop when asked. Finalized the UI. Started to connect all the component for a local test.

Tryed to design a few "best practice" but discovered that the current mojor object languages were too limited to allow their implementation (interface != meta-type)

Found sometime dificult to understand how groovy was translated in java.

Supervisor's Comments
I have had the same problem with static interfaces; its horrible!

The goal now is to get the net2 version working in Eclipse so that we know the communication infrastructure is correct BEFORE the implementation of the bluetooth architecture.

I am very impresssed with the progress you have made while I was away in Boston. Well done!

My major concern is that you write up what you have done sufficiently well to get the mark you will deserve. So once the net2 architecture works in Eclipse I shall call a halt on programming and get you to write up what you have done so far in getting the system to work in the net2 atrchitecture as a means of getting used to the manner in which it has to be written for the report.
