In a course with focus on properties of a good user interface, this was our final project. Our idea was to develop an application in Java where the user could study words from a glossary. We used the Java Swing library to handle all graphics, something that was very easy to implement. After letting some nurse students test the product, we got the suggestion to make it possible to upload images together with a word so that the memory could hopefully create a connection. Even though we only had less than two weeks for this project, we managed to release a software application with almost no bugs. However, the code is really ugly and we probably did all the "don't's" possible when coding (txt docs as database, no SVN and poor object-orientated structure). But nothing is as instructive as learning from errors and both me and my partner think we released a good looking application!

Already in the first year at university we had courses in Computer Graphics. As soon as the Linear Algebra course was done, we were introduced to the basic concepts of 3D computer graphics. We were given an existing and working framework (taking care of mainly animation and rendering) in Java where we had to write our own functions for culling, shading, depth sorting, parallell and perspective projection. In order to get a higher grade, one had to implement Phong highlights.
