Projects

General information about the project assignments.

What is a project?

Each project will involve the design of an interactive game. The assignment documents will guide you through the required design and documentation steps. You will work on each project with a partner - but the partnerships will change for each of the three projects.

Each project will last about four weeks. You will have to submit work in progress on a weekly basis - as instructed. After the final submission of the completed project you and your partner will also give a public presentation of your project. The details for each round of presentations will be given with the project assignment.


What is the purpose of a project?

Each project will give you an opportunity to create a program, a game, of your choice. The assignment will guide you in the design process.

The three projects will illustrate different stages of the program development:

At every stage you will practice test-driven design, making sure all parts of the program are fully tested.
