Previously you began the layout and initial development of your Java Project.
This week you create a splash screen for your application.
To complete your splash screen please use the information below:
Create a splash screen for the TGC application that displays:
* the application’s name
* an address
* a description
The screen should calculate:
* the cost per mile
* the total cost, including oil change if applicable
Background and further information for the assignment is:
The Project
Consumers rely on fuel/gas for their vehicles along with oil and maintenance. Consumers use more fuel during the summer months, and around the holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving, Labor Day, etc). It is often very difficult for travelers to budget for travel because of all of the “unknowns” (fuel type, price, gas mileage, repairs/oil changes, etc).
AAA, MapQuest and various other businesses have tools to help travelers calculate the miles they will travel, which in turn translates into the amount of gas needed. Based on the distance being traveled and the particular car, the mechanic can advise how often an oil change and/or other vehicle maintenance is recommended.
For this project you are developing an application called the Traveler’s Gasoline Calculator (TGC), which (as the name states) calculates gasoline costs for the drivers of several different types of vehicles.
Requirements
The application should initially allow users to enter values for the number of miles, the number of gallons, and the cost of gasoline. The application should also accept input from users that enables them to reset the value on the screen to zero (0) so that another calculation can be performed.
Your application should also display output, and users should be able to access the calculator via the Web, a console application and a PDA. The application should include the company logo in the interface (create your own logo). Your application also allows users to size the window and exit the application at any time.
