What inspired us
We wanted to build a program that took full advantage of the Java classes. Our minds turned to city planning, as that seemed to be very structured. Then we though of an electricity grid, as that seemed like the most exciting thing to work on.
What it does
Our program is essentially an electricity grid simulation. We have companies who manage electrical power plants and individual customers. Our program helps both the manager and the customer manage their duties. Using our UI, you can create a manager account or a customer account and register it to a company. Logging in as manager displays info such as net profit, monthly profit, interest rate, and other company details. Logging in as a customer displays how much you owe the electric company, as well as an option to pay. Our program tracks each companies total costs from the production from each electrical plant as well as profit from the customer's payments.
How we built it
Our program was built using Java and the IntelliJ IDE
Challenges we ran into
Connecting the UI to the classes was our greatest challenge.
