Overview

cymple is the working title for the 2009 first year project of "Group B" of the 1BA7 module of Trinity College Dublin's Computer Science course. The name is a recursive acronym for Cymple: Your Musical Past Lovingly Envisioned.

Its purpose is to provide a graphical application capable of visualising data parsed from a .csv file about the listening habits of a set of users.

cymple is developed using Java and Processing.

Components

cymple is structured into three different components:

• data layer — this provides a well-defined API for the application to use to get useful data from the .csv file. It handles all the parsing of the .csv file and stores the data in an efficient way.
• widget toolkit — this provides a set of high-level, reusable widgets (implemented in Processing) which are used in the application.
• application — this uses the data layer and the widget toolkit to implement an application which visualises the data from the .csv file.

Usage

cymple is still in the very, very early stages of development and is unlikely to be of any use to anybody other than its developers.
