Welcome! Fandoms in the monopoly include Doctor Who, Sherlock, Merlin, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Narnia. You'll see milestones while coding, errors that I have encountered, an "environmental message" , "computer science and careers" that might relate to this program, and how emerging areas of computer science might benefit from this program. Other things include errors that were encountered, the brainstorming before coding. Ryk, happy reading!

Yippeee!
I am not done all the game board pieces, but I have all the pictures for the following properties:
Update on Gameboard
So...I've created a few of the pictures and things for the game board. Here's an example of one:
So basically, all the pictures are going to look similar to this, but the fill will be different for each colour. Then I will has to find out how to make layered panes for one to show up on top of the other. But yeah, good start so far :)

BAH!
BAH!
Well...hmm. I can't use a gridLayout to show the things. .
Ryk said that I'd have to find another way to display them to the screen.
Might have to do a button and so when the person lands on it, the centre shows information about the property
All the properties have to contain a JPEG or PNG containing the colour, the icon, the price (in galleons), and name of property.
I'm not a hundred percent sure exactly how to lay out the board, but at least I have a start for now.
At least my game board is going to be as colourful as here :D

Layout of Gameboard
Just realized...
For all the properties, I just realized that I'm going to need pictures for all those properties and I'm going to have to insert them into the gameboard manually. So I was thinking instead of having one row on the N, S, E, and W of GridLayouts, it should have 2 rows - one for the picture. And the other for the price of the property and the name of the property along with the colour.Although one thing I can do is add the price to the picture manually. And to make the colour of the text representative of the colour that is on the card and on the property. Hmm, sounds cool. I think.
I hope it works though. I'm not quite sure how to display the fact that one's piece is on the place though. Like it's going to have to be a colour that stands out on every other square but there's no similar colour. And so it's a bit hard. Unless I make each small little panel has a square in which represents the character cause I wanted to make the little characters characters in the series rather than things like TVs or roller skates.
I was thinking:
- Harry Potter
- Sherlock Holmes
- John Watson
- Bilbo Baggins
- Gandalf
- Lucy
- Merlin
- Arthur
But I'm not sure of the characters just yet. But those are just a few random things that came to mind.

Oh no :(
Uh oh! Uh oh!
I'm behind schedule! I was supposed to finish the instruction screen, the menu screen by today! NOOOOO! :O
Well looks like I know what I'm going to be doing tomorrow night...-_-

Welcome Screen Completed
WELCOME SCREEN!
The welcome screen is finally finally done, except for the fact that it is entirely colourless cause I still don't know what colour to make it. Even though, green and brown looks natury, I'm thinking something that's related to all the fandoms.
I might just add a massive picture in the middle that relates to all fandoms. Maybe photoshopped.
Oh well, starting to program the game board now... :/
MainPanel is going to be in a BorderLayout then the sides are all going to be grid layouts with just 1 column. And all the little squares will contain a property of something in which you have to pay.
The centre will contain a picture then 2 buttons:
1) To find out how much is in the pot (Tavern/Rising Sun AKA Free Parking)
2) To pick up a card from the Room of Requirement (AKA Chance or Community Chest) as it is squashed into one.

SILLY LITTLE SILLY ERROR!
OOPS!
Hello again! Anyways, I know, I'm posting way too often, but here goes.
First time I ran my program - NULL POINT EXCEPTION! GAH! :O NOOOO!
But..then I realized I didn't declare the objects...I know, I know, O_o Stupid error!
Very...stupid! O-o
I also did all the uh..whatsthemcalled..delimiters? Deliminators?
the things that separate methods with a bunch of documentation that specifies a description of each method, parameters and return conditions, preconditions and postconditions. Not too hard, but I guess it's on the rubric, so oh well -_-

Colour Scheme! Colour Scheme!
I is not being able to pick a colour scheme!
Oh well, I'll worry about that one later... I think.
I'll program well the program rather than worrying about the colour just yet...no ideas...no ideas! NOOO IDDEEEAAASSS! D;

Welcome (ish) Screen!
Welcome Scre--almost done..
+Vivian Luu Yes, yes, I'm late. I should have updated it last night considering I WROTE the Welcome Screen after doing physics...
But yeah..finished most of the welcome screen...thinking of a colour scheme though O_o
Monopoly.......Lord of the Rings; Hobbit; Narnia; Harry Potter; Merlin, Sherlock; has now run out of ideas...has to include everything...but...eckeckeck..can't think of home screen for Monopoly.
