Java with Cocoa
May 8th, 2005In CompSci class, we’ve just got an assignment where we have to work on a program in Java. It can be on anything and can do anything, but has to be worth about 4-5 weeks of work.
Well, I’ve decided to do something with Cocoa, just to start getting familiar with it. But, I need some ideas for the project. Someone in our group proposed a stock simulation. I think it may be too easy if we just pull stock information off the internet, and too complex if we simulate stocks by making our own class.
Well, any ideas on how/what to do with the stocks? Or maybe some other project we can work on?
And, no, it cannot be in Objective C. The class is *Java* orientated.
*Update*: Well, the group has decided to do a Chess game instead.

Hmm… maybe a program to interface the stock market in a revolutionary way? Have it interface some stock website, such as eTrade or whatever, log you in via the app, parse your shares, allow you to buy/sell, and maybe a smart manager that tells you what the computer recommends, based on certain graphs and figures it pulls on the stock?
Ah, I can just see the smart manager in action, [computer speaking] “LokiSnake, I advise you to buy 100 shares of Apple, Inc. (APPL)”
