Project: Team Builder

Team Builder is a desktop app primarily for cross-faculty students to manage their contacts and build a multidisciplinary team based on soft skills and technical skills. 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: Sort Person’s list
    • Justification:
      • Useful for users to organize their unordered contact list, makes selecting team members easier
      • Allows users to find who has the most or least number of skill tags easily
    • Highlights:
      • Able to sort Person’s list using sort command
      • Implemented sorting by Person’s number of tags using tcount as the parameter to sort command
      • Able to sort in both orders, descending (desc as parameter) or ascending (asc as parameter)
  • New Feature: Create/Remove Team and TeamList
    • Justification:
      • For users to create/remove team and assign team members.
      • TeamList for users to track the status/description of all teams created
    • Highlights:
      • Allows users to specify Team’s name, description and skill requirements (as tags)
      • Able to create teams using create command and remove teams using remove command
      • After a new team is added in TeamList, users are able to add members to team (by attach corresponding team tag to the Person)
    • Credits:
      • The implementation for Team and TeamList is adapted from the implementation for Person and PersonList respectively
