Yeah unfortunately we have to do it ourselves, is it really really complex and hard and gonna take lots of time?

Hi there im new to programming and i am currently finishing up my first year software project called space wars, i have finished everything (ships, gravity etc) except we now have to create an installer like you would have for a normal game. There are no lecture notes on it and searching the internet has not helped me so far. I was just wondering if anybody could start me off or point me in the right direction or give a link to some relevant notes?

Thank You

It Worked, thank you very much Campbell Ritchie and Guido Sautter i'd be lost without you two!!!

Hi just wondering if anyone could help me with this little problem:

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

class Exam{
String name;
String location;
int day;
int month;
int year;

public Exam(String n, String loc, int d, int m, int y){
name = n;
location = loc;
day = d;
month = m;
year = y;
}
public String toString(){
return name+": "+location+" "+day+"/"+month+"/"+year;
}
public boolean compareTo(Exam other){
if (year < other.year) {return true;}
if (year > other.year) {return false;}

if (month < other.month) {return true;}
if (month > other.month) {return false;}

if (day < other.day) {return true;}
if (day >= other.day) {return false;}
}
}
public class examA
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{

Exam[] examArray = new Exam[5];
for(int i = 0; i < examArray.length; i++){
String name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"enter name");
String loc = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"enter location");
int day = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"enter day"));
int month = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"enter month"));
int year = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"enter month"));
examArray[i] = new Exam(name,loc, day, month,year);
}
int lowest_loc = 0;
for(int m = 1; m < examArray.length; m++){
for(int i = 1; i < examArray.length; i++){
if(examArray[i] != null){
if (examArray[i].compareTo(examArray[lowest_loc])) {
lowest_loc = i;
}
}
}
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,examArray[lowest_loc]);

}

System.exit(0);
}
}
