The Petrol Pump Design

So, in creating a program, you have to first imagine what you want it to look like, before you begin working on getting it working.
So, the name of the company is "Peters Petrol Pumps" which, when you think about it, is an awful name for a company. For this company to have success, it needs to have a catchy name and playing on the basic english technique of alliteration isn't a successful name. K-Fox or something, is much better.
But, on with the designs.

There will be two basic displays needed for this program, or two forms in Visual Basic. One will be for the customer, the other will be for Peter Pumpkin who'll need to check how much money his Petrol Pumps are raising, never mind his Diesel Pumps. So, first off, we have the customers petrol pump, which needs to display the amount being put into the car, the amount it costs for the amount they've put in, and the cost per litre.

The form, should look something like this :




Then, we have Peters Form, which has to display, the total for the day and the amount of money made per day :



More design information will be posted in the next few days.
