Project: MyMods

MyMods is a desktop mod tracking application used for tracking mods in NUS. The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX. It is written in Java, and has about 10 kLoC.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added the ability to start editing a semester.
    • What it does: allows the user to start editing a particular semester one at a time. The user can add, delete, update the grade or semester, and S/U modules in a semester only after the user starts that specific semester.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because a user can edit the modules in a specific semester and keep track of the modules he is taking in a specific semester, and the changes he made to them. It provides a convenient way to segregate the modules in different semesters to keep it organised and enhance readability.
    • Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands and commands to be added in the future. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation too was challenging as it required changes to existing commands.
  • New Feature: Added the ability to stop editing a semester.
    • What it does: allows the user to stop editing a particular semester one at a time. The user cannot add, delete, update the grade or semester, and S/U modules in a semester after the user exits that specific semester.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because a user can stop editing the modules in a specific semester which allows the user to navigate to and make changes to the modules in a different semester. This allows users to make changes to the modules in different semesters. It provides a convenient way to segregate the modules in different semesters to keep it organised and enhance readability. Once the user is done editing a specific semester, he will be brought back to the main list of modules.
    • Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands and commands to be added in the future. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation too was challenging as it required changes to existing commands.
  • New Feature: Added the ability to automatically and instantly calculate and display the current CAP.
    • What it does: calculates the CAP automatically after every modification the user makes including adding a module, updating the grade of a module, deleting a module and S/U-ing a module.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because a user can view how each change he makes will affect the CAP and see an instantaneous change in the CAP without having to do any manual calculations.
    • Highlights: This enhancement required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation too was challenging as it required changes to the UI.
