SIGBio SimCells
This is the trac page for SIGBio's EOH project for 2007, tentatively named SimCells. You can access the sources via SVN through the Browse Source tab. We'll also be using the other features as time goes on.
Use this wiki to discuss the project. Send me an email if you need access and I'll add you (NetID: comar2).

With EOH about a week away, here is what we still have to do.
- The ability for cells to display their state on the canvas (Taka working on it)
- The user interface to control the Environment
- The user interface to save and load the state of the environment via Serialization
- Implementation of the Rules in Java
We'll try to meet in the middle of next week (Tues or Wed night would be good), and by then we should have the basic user interface stuff done. During that meeting we can split up -- Me and Taka can finish the UI stuff while everyone else can start implementing some rules. I'll work on getting Serialization done at some point this weekend so that works too. Thursday will probably involve quite a bit of coding to get everything finished up. We also need to print up a logo / poster / whatever at some point then.
By Saturday-ish I'll get the basic user interface code up in a form Eclipse can read (right now its in IntelliJ form) and hopefully get some basic handlers written, so that things can be integrated. Also, some rules being written would be great. A simple one to do would be writing the Game of Life (look up the rules) so if one of you or a couple of you wanna try working together on that, it would be great.

I uploaded what we have up until today's meeting to the SVN repository, you can access it via Browse Source. You can use svn. This is how to check in and out of SVN on an ACM linux terminal:
Checkout the repository:
svn checkout file://localhost/afs/acm.uiuc.edu/sig/bio/svn .
Now you'll have a local copy of all the files. You can modify them as you wish. Once you are done updating, execute the following command:
svn commit --message You need to describe the changes you made here.
This will work as long as you didn't add any new files. If you have, you can use the following command:
svn add <path to new file or directory>
You can get decent help on all the commands with svn help <command name>, or list the commands with just svn help.
I'd recommend getting used to this, its pretty easy.
REMINDER: SAFETY MEETING
The only two remaining safety meetings this semester for EOH are
NOTE: New times
Thurs. February 8, 2007 at 8:00p in Everitt 269
Thurs. February 22, 2007 at 7:30p in Everitt 165
ALSO - additional safety meetings will be held during the day. They will be:
Feb 7: Wed - 1:30pm and Feb 15: Thurs 3pm
If you cannot attend the safety meetings at night - please attend one of these. They will take place in 212 Engineering Hall at the specified times.
We need someone who has been to a safety meeting at our booth at all times, so if everyone could go that'd be great.
