GustavusPlanner is a course planning app for Gustavus Adolphus College made in MCS-270 (Object-Oriented Software). Our app will provide Gustavus students with an easy way to visually plan out their schedules. Students will be able to search from a master list of possible classes. After selecting a class, a visual block will appear on the weekly calendar. The ability to have a visual calendar indicates whether a possible schedule will work for students, or if a certain combination of classes cannot be taken in the same semester.
- Should be original and unique. Should meet some need.
- GustavusPlanner is original because no such app exists for Gustavus students.
- Should use at least one external service
- GustavusPlanner uses http to get the list of classes from the WebAdvisor database.
- Should use at least one device sensor
- GustavusPlanner uses the accelerometer to determine if the user is holding the device in portrait or landscape mode.
- Must have a UI
- GustavusPlanner is entirely UI based.
- Must have at least three domain objects
- We would at least need one class for a schedule, one for a course, and classes for the different views within the app.
- Must have data that is persistent across sessions
- GustavusPlanner will use an SQLite database to store the users schedules in the main memory so that they will be saved when the user closes the app.
This is an example of what the main schedule view will look like:
