Getting 90% my final project for a first year java module and only lost marks on my write up.
I felt like my code was trash, my program was trash and it didn't look very nice either. I met the spec sure but it wasn't good.
My university just hands out high marks like candy. Honestly wish I'd got into somewhere better. I want critisism and feedback not a pat on the back.

    Can someone take a look and give me some actual critisism and real feedback please. Please be a bit gentle though this is my first year and I've never done any programming before I came to university.

    I just did a fast read from my phone. But, you use an exception to check if some text file cards.txt exists.

    Generally it's faster to check if the file exists than to trigger an exception. Remember this, exceptions are for exceptional circumstances.

    Exception handling is quite slow.

    @BigBoo this alone was better feedback than anything I got out of my lecturers.

    @TheAquaSwan No problem. I'm no expert, and I didn't look closely. But I'm sure that tip is general enough that it's applicable to more places than that specific instance.
