CS131 Section 3 - Fall 2004

Additional Information for Final Project


Your final project must meet all the requirements specified on the CS 131 web site.

The project is due at the start of class on Friday, December 10 at 12:30 pm. Please allow yourself sufficient time to prepare and print out all required material.

Class periods on December 1 and 3 and lab periods on November 30 and December 7 will be devoted to working on the project. You may need to spend additional time outside these periods to complete all the work.

Your Design Document should be done in Microsoft Word with the body of the text using a standard Times Roman font (10 or 12 pt. is fine). All margins should be 1" and the pages must be stapled.

The HTML source code for your page must be printed using a mono-spaced font such as Courier (10 or 12 pt.). This can be printed from JEdit or done in Word, but the code can not appear in a proportional font such as Times. Make sure your name appears on this printout.

You must upload your page to your alpha account and have a clearly visible link on your home page. Be sure to do this and test it before the deadline. Make sure you have no problems with expired passwords or accounts over quota. It is your responsibility to resolve any problems with the LIS helpdesk.

Grading: the final project will count as a lab for 100 points (twice the normal lab points). Since labs count for 26% of your final grade, this project is worth 6 percentage points of your course grade.


Extra Credit

Up to 10 points of extra credit can be earned on your project by adding this enhancement to the game:

Add displays to your hangman game that show a running total of the number of games that have been played, the number of the games the player has won, and the percentage of games the player has won (rounded to no decimal places). You should also provide an option to reset these totals back to zero for a new player.

NOTE: you should get your game working with the basic requirements before you try adding this enhancement. Once the game is working, you should save it under a different name before making any modifications.

Partial extra credit will be given for work done on this enhancement.
