This is a student exercise which didn't work out. I planned to implement everything in a nice 2 class environment. The calendar turned out to be so simple that it was more natural to just code it in one class.
I omit I haven't been able to stop...
This is an old school Swing Applet with a grid control, JButtons and images from duke.kenai.com (available under a BSD license).
The applet should work as a standalone application as well. Start it with the following command after the download of the jar file:
java -jar Kalender.jar
The original intention to use this applet as a programming exercise had to be abandoned. I recycled the calendar into Conway's Game of Life which is pretty much the same (At least from the coding point of view).
I was surprised to see that 7711 bytes of the jar file (Game of Life) allowed me to cram the following technology into it:
- 2503 JButtons
- 2 icons
- 6 classes including
- 1 inner class
- 3 anonymous classes
- multi threaded application (2 user threads)
- works as applet as well as a standalone application
Enjoy!
P.S. I has an easter egg as well. I needed it to test everything without changing the date all the time...
