They're all for my TestMaker!
When you're coding around in circles and editing line after line of mystifying code in dismay, when you're exhausted, mind numb and flickering in and out of consciousness, from a tenuous session of extreme programming, this is the one place to turn to for that little bit of inspiration, that spark which sets off a genius idea, and the occasional chuckle from a terrible joke or weird phrase.

Project TestMaker - a quick update
Recently, I've started working on my TestMaker application again. At this moment in time, here's what I have already done...
- Completed the process of generating a test when a correctly formatted text file is uploaded.
- Halfway through completing the process of creating a test from scratch in the GUI.
...here's what I've learnt so far...
- How to use MigLayout in place of Java's native layout managers.
- How to use threads to run more than one "set" of code at a time.
- How to use Java's CardLayout.
- How to use JTextAreas, JComboBoxes and JSpinners.
- How to use the Apache POI external library for creating Word documents.
...and here's what I still need to do:
- Finish the process of creating a test from scratch in the GUI.
- Learn how to add images to a Word document using Apache POI.
- Add the option to enter a class name and teacher.
I should be able to complete TestMaker soon, at which point I'll start making my game!
