Glass Factory Simulation

A simulation of glass going through factory machines and conveyor belts.
Made as a project for USC's Computer Science 201 class, working in a team of 10 programmers.
When the glass gets to a machine, it does the operation (such as drilling holes, cutting its shape, or painting it). Then when it reaches the end of the line, if the glass matches the type ordered, a robotic arm moves it into the good glass truck or defective glass truck.
Havoc panel is there to have fun disasters in the factory and watch it repair itself. Machines catching on fire then being replaced is showcased in this demo.

Other Group Members: 9 programmers, 1 team manager
My Role: Programmed back-end for each of the machines. Front end GUI is programmed by a separate half of the team and is given instructions from the back-end programming team.
Developed in:  Java
Development Period: May 2011
Occasion: Assignment for Principles of Software Design (USC's Computer Science 201 course)
