Final remarks
Be sure to do the basic version of the lab before attempting the more
advanced features; this kind of incremental design/coding is critical
for more complex programs. Just work on adding one feature at a
time, and make sure to test each thoroughly before working on the
next.
Your program is due at 11p.m. on Monday evening. Turn in your
program as you did last week. Here are the instructions again:
- First, return to Eclipse and make sure you included your name
and the course number in a comment at the start of the program.
- Next, click on the "Laundry" project in the Package
Explorer panel on the left side of the Eclipse window.
- Now, select "Export" from the "File menu".
- Select "File system" in the dialog box and click next (you
may need to click on the triangle next to "General" in the dialaog
box first).
- Make sure all the files in the dialog on the right hand side
are checked, and then click the "Browse" button next to the "To directory:" entry.
- Select "Desktop" from the pulldown menu and click on "Choose".
- This should create a new folder called "Laundry" on the
desktop. You should now rename that folder by clicking on it and
pressing return, and typing in a more descriptive name (one
that identifies you and the lab you
are working on, such as "Kauchak-Lab2"
- except replace "Kauchak" by your name!).
Note that dashes in names are OK, but don't include spaces
or periods.
- Quit Eclipse.
- Now open the "cs051" folder icon on the desktop by double-clicking
on it. Within the "cs051" folder you should see a "dropbox" folder.
- Drag the folder you just created into the dropbox folder. When you do
this, the computer may warn you that you will not be able to look at
this folder. That is fine. Just click "OK".
- The new folder will still show up in your home folder. Drag it
into the trash both to save space and to keep anyone from copying it.
(Files in your CS51Workspace folder are protected so that others cannot read
them.) Press the right mouse button on the trash icon to bring up a
menu and select "empty trash".
If you should accidentally turn in a bad version of your program, you
may drag another copy in as long as you change the name to be slightly
different from the one you used before (e.g. "Doe-Lab2-version2").
The
new name should make it clear which is the newer version.
Good luck and have fun!
