Hi, I made this thread for our groups assignment. We are suppose to get 3 program codes, at least 250 lines each, from anyone that created one. As soon as we retrieve them, we are supposed to evaluate them and find out what type of things they used and how they program it for ex abstract methods, interfaces. It's like a research paper just that we research on something we don't know about. If you supply your code could you please erase the comments you involved and include your name in your post because we are suppose to make a Work Cited. It doesn't have to be your full name a nick name is fine. Thanks.

You want people to give you fully functioning programs with our comments and names removed and not expect you to just turn them in as completed work with YOUR name on them?

If you don't get 3 better contributions, feel free to use this. You should be able to run it. I wrote it as a quick check for how CPU usage scaled with number of sprites. I removed the comments as requested, but feel free to ask questions.
J

ps: It was >250 before I removed the comments!

Your request does force me to ask simple question. Why didn't you check any open source project on sourceforge.net, github or similar projects repository?

commented: Insightful answer to a student's lazy question. +5

A number of posts to this forum contain code samples that are, unfortunately, over 250 lines. :(

For something small that is used in high performance production applications, I'd suggest "WAX", a Java "Writing API for XML."

https://code.google.com/p/waxy/source/browse/

Click on directories to navigate: trunk, trunk, java, src, com, ociweb, xml

Mark Volkmann wrote it. I wrote most of the JUnit tests, and refactored it heavily, giving it its current structure. It has several classes and makes good use of interfaces. Not much for inheritance.

Home page for WAX is
http://java.ociweb.com/mark/programming/WAX.html

Here's another reasonably short example:
http://anarchycreek.com/doubledawgdare-series/

Michael Hill started with some open source code that was really really nasty, and refactored it to make it more maintainable. I contributed JUnit tests. And you can see from my comments that I did several refactorings that took off in different directions.

To get his final source code, go to
http://anarchycreek.com/2010/03/30/doubledawgdare-7-one-spike-no-buffy/
and download the "Code After Step 7 (263)"

For some reason, I always have to change the last line in this method of the ReferenceMap class, to make it work:

Set<K> dereferenceKeySet(Set keyReferences) {
    return keyReferenceType == STRONG
        ? keyReferences
        : new TreeSet<K>(dereferenceCollection(keyReferenceType, keyReferences, new HashSet()));
  }

Well, it is just a few thousand lines. Focus on the 'com.opensymphony.xwork2.validator.AnnotationValidationConfigurationBuilder' class. Everything else is there only to support compiling and running tests on this class.

I have in a couple of comments in some areas, but they are generic. you can delete them if you wish. I have already released my code on thetechgame.com. Anyways here is the main part of the code the frame portion is separate.

If he was going to copy this code would be Academic dishonesty, and he could also get expelled. Since I released my code before it is technically open source.

I am kind of confused. The OP said they had to be over 250 lines, then JeffGrigg said they are over 350 lines, so they can't use them. Anyways. once you remove all of the blank lines in my first code, all of the comments and the @Overrides the code is exactly 250 lines.
