Teampad is a simple cooperative text editor (still in the alpha phase)

teampad's Issues

Translate all of the GUI

It is not fully translated. At least some basic translation should be done, even if it's not accurate.

Simplify the source code by splitting reusable functions in different classes

The server/client code could be in one class. The configuration file loading/saving code in another. The Base64 decoder with the images could be in another one. The localisation (translation only) could be in its own file, then it would be reusable in other projects.

The GUI could be in its own file. Simple "modules" would split the source code so that it will be easier to edit it, because there will be less text on the screen at the same time.

Example:

• Teampad.java: The program's main
• Networking.java: Server/client threads
• Config.java: Configuration file handling (would also build the map file that contains all of the key-value)
• Images.java: Base64 images
• Gui.java: Swing (The JFrame and all)
• Local.java: Since it's only for the translation, it could be called "Translation.java".

Add shortcut keys to some of the menu options

For example: "Run" should be CTRL+R. When the window will open, the selected button should be "Ok" so that the command can be execute right away so it's very quick.

CTRL+S should save. CTRL+N should ask to create a new file. CTRL+Q should ask to save and exit.

Add tabulations so multiple files can be open at the same time

Add tabulations that can be shared with others, so people can edit multiple files at the same time.

TODO: Do the network code

This is the most complex part of the program.

A TeamPad can be a server and another TeamPad may connect. Both should share the content of the TextArea together.

More than 2 people may connect to the same server.

A client may decide to become a server, so this client will act as a server while still being connected to its server and share the text with it.

Syntax highlighting

This is something that could be done and it would really help to code. It will require to replace the TextArea with something more powerful.
