Object Oriented Programming Mini-Project
This repository contains the mini-project that was completed by myself for my Object Oriented programming module during the second semester at university.
It essentially simulates the increases and decreases in the stock market where the user is able to both buy and sell stocks. The user also has the option of viewing a graph, which provides a visual representation of the price changes for a particular stock. This funcion was implemented through the use of two Java class libraries; JCommon and JFreeChart. Both can be found in the External JAR folder.
An incremental style of development was used, where more and more features were added on based on a given timeline.
To execute the program, download the repository and run the shortcut, Stock Market Simulator. If running from Netbeans, a change will have to made to the path to the history (read the comments in StockMarketSimulator.java)
- Saving the simulation data so that the user can continue at a later time or date
- Providing information about a particular stock to the user, such as the CEO of a company
- Instead of having a "Buy/Sell" button, the user can click on the stock name in the main window to buy and click on the bought stocks in the textarea to sell
