LibraryCatalog - Book.cs

I finished writing the Book class for my project.

Book class:   Attributes:      string title;      string author;      string ISBN;      string bookID;      bool Available;      int numCopies;      ArrayList tags; //List of tags associated with the book, helps with searching.      Stored in lexographical order (alphabetical)      Methods:      getters/setters      getBookIDAsInt - returns bookID as an int      getISBNAsInt - returns ISBN as an int      addCopy - incremements numCopies by 1      removeCopy - decrements numCopies by 1      addTag/removeTag - adds or removes a tag to the array of tags (keeps list      sorted)      checkTag - takes an input of a string tag (ignores case). Uses a                        BinarySearch implementation to find tags (tags are alphabetically stored)

My  LibraryCatalog project

So, I found an internship in which I would be working with C#, XML, and HTML. I knew only the basics of each, so I decided to find some books, read up, and make a project. I decided to make a C# program that will act as a catalog of books (in a library, bookstore, whatever you like), which saves the catalog as an XML file, and can create HTML files to display ‘printouts’ of the catalog. If you want an HTML file that has all the Science Fiction books in the catalog, it will generate that. You can add and remove books from the Catalog, and I think I’ll add a Patron system eventually, where patrons can check out books.

Currently I have the Book class implemented, and am working on a Class to read in XML catalog files.

How the time flies

So I said I would be trying to make these posts often so that I could motivate myself, but I went home for spring break and forgot to commit my reaper game to my repo, so I didn't work on it over break at all. But, I've decided I'm going to use this blog to also start working on small exercises (some taken from places like r/dailyprogramming maybe?) And to also talk about any ideas I have or anything I am trying to learn. So hopefully I'll be back on here soon.

Reaper Platformer: Post 1

I made this blog so I can keep track of my personal Indie Game Projects. The first project I am starting is building a small platformer (based on Grim Reaper/Death/Thanatos Lore). I am building the game in Java, using Eclipse, and using the lwjgl and Slick2D. I will be using Pixel Art and Tiled Editor. For starters, I'll put my latest version of the character sprite! This is the base reaper sprite, though I hope to add options for customizing some presets, as well as being able to use any sprite you want to represent your character. I plan on putting my own story in, which I'll elaborate more on later.
