LESSON LEARNED FROM CODE RULER:

Time dedication is always been big part of programming. But in this project I think that was my biggest challenge. Because of time conflict with my former partner and my busy work schedule, communication in a timely manner was really hard. Unfortunately, he finally found someone else to do the project with .

The strategy that I came up with is :

• to release the peasants in different directions to claim unoccupied lands and opponent's lands
• when the opponent's peasants, knights and castles are more than ours we create more peasants, knights and castles.
• when there are peasants or knights on our way we capture then and finally capture the opponent's castle.

Among the three teams the hardest to compete with were the 2 groups(gang up and split up rulers), as you can see I got defeated pretty bad. I know I could have done better if I put more time in doing it. I think the reason why the 2 teams defeated me really bad was because I didn't develop a better strategy in attacking the enemy and protecting my castle, knights and peasants at the same time.

What I have learned about eclipse is remembering some of the features that I haven't use for a while. But comparing Eclipse to other IDE's out there, I would say that Eclipse has the best hands-on resources to help a lot of programmers .
