Final Project Preparation
Objective: Prepare for the final project by
reviewing the given code and planning what has to be done for the
project.
Due: Before class, Nov 28
Review Specifications
Review the specifications for the final
project.
Discussion Questions
Create a PREPARATION
text file. Answer
the following questions in that file. Clearly label which question
you're addressing.
- What are the main parts/steps/components that need to be completed to
complete the project? Try to be as specific and precise as possible. How much work
does each
part require?
(Approximate in terms of time or relative to the other steps.)
How many people should work on each part?
- How will your program handle the following use case: "The
user starts the program, types 'fd 50' in the command window, and
sees the turtle move in the display window leaving a trail."
It should be clear from your description which objects are
responsible for completing each part of the task. Some of the
classes are given to you; others need to be added.
- What 3 extensions would you like to have in your final
application?
- Bring the above answers together into a plan
for how you would tackle implementing the project with your team.
What parts can be completed independently of the other parts?
What parts need to be completed before other parts?
- The parts of the project you're most interested in working on, in
ranked order.
- Any questions about the given code. (Ask these in class as well.)
You may want to print out the specification, in case you want to refer
to it during our discussion in class.
