We also met our supervisor today and he gave us some good information about important dates.
The tasks for the group until thursday 14/10-10 is that members are supposed to research about how to create an animation, such as a circle or square, and then try to move it in different directions. this task was given as a whole group task so everyone could get a basic idea of what we are trying to do. We decided that if we could start with some basic coding, which includes popping up a screen and see a square or a circle and then try to move this square, we would be much better coordinated.
one more task is to research about the inbuild graphic package in java which is AWT. Links for tutorials of theese are at the bottom of this page.

Alright, these tutorials should be enough for the task until thursday. Watch them, try to understand them and most importantly, practice them so you know what is happening.This should be completed until thursday, and the group is expected to have completed this task.
For the next meeting i will introduce something called a checklist, this checklist will be about the group members attendancy and how well we manage to be on time for the scheduled meetings and how we are progressing in our work.
