Tiger Take Out

Overview

This windows forms application was a group project, with the objective being to create some sort of mock application for the Rochester Institute of Technology. My group decided to create a food delivery application that allows students and staff to order food delivery from off campus using their RIT TigerBucks. I worked with three other classmates, and my portion of this project was to create the dropdown menu to select a resturant, and to create each individual resturant page. I also helped to connect all the pages together with another teammate, which included passing in the global variables such as food items chosen and prices.

Tools and Technologies

This project was created with C# in Visual Studio 2017

Challenges

One challenge I faced personally in my pages, specifically in the individual resturant menu pages, was how to store the chosen items and their prices. Eventually, I wrote a function that took in a Button sender and then retrieved that button's text (food item and it's price), split it at the line break into a temporary array of two items, then pushed the first item into a list of strings (food item) and the second item into a list of doubles (prices). These two lists were also global and were carried over to the checkout form. Also, a message box displays each time letting the user know the item was added to the cart and once the cart is full the user is prompted to move to checkout.
