It's not good to associate with these kinds of people, no matter what BS excuses they'll try to say to woo you.
His friend was struggling, and he wrote the program and gave it to his friend of his own accord, his friend didn't steal it, or even ask him to make it for him.

Friends don't steal from friends. You haven't screwed him over, you gave him time to get his act together, (though that was also wrong because you shouldn't have done his assignment.) He's screwed you over, because not only is he getting an A he clearly doesn't deserve, now he's looking for a resume buff using YOUR intellectual property (IP.) That's totally out of bounds.
His friend obviously doesn't view it like that, maybe his friend doesn't see the error in accepting someone elses work, I wasn't offering that as an end-all decision to the problem, but if he doesn't want his friend to fail, but doesn't want him to take credit for his work, I was offering it more as a compromise if his friend can withstand the moral consequences and there is no other way about it.
I would of course talk to your friend about it first, if he is okay with it, you should get credit for your work, however if you dont want to make him fail because you helped him (without his asking), you can offer the sort of compromise I mentioned prior, and tell him to go to your teacher on this, at the very least ask him to opt it out of the museum display if you do the compromise methods, and dont do your friend's work in the future, help them along perhaps with advice, but dont straight out do it without helping the education process.
