The purpose of the project is to create a complete and playable game / simulation written in Java using Greenfoot.
The project will be graded on the following:
1. Creativity (10%)
2. Images: Background, Objects and Actors (10%)
3. Sound (10%)
4. Method comments, naming & code cleanliness (10%)
5. Method cohesiveness and abstraction (10%)
6. File organization (10%)
7. Group Cooperation Attitude (10%)
8. Testing (compile time, run time & logical errors) (10%)
9. User Manual (10%)
10. Presentation + Q/A (10%)
Here is an iterative development process to help you develop the game.
1. Get a very simple version of the game up and working as soon as possible.
2. Start by creating the object that the player will interact with or control and get its functionality complete.
3. Don’t worry about getting the graphics, or sound right at the start. Use “placeholder” graphics if necessary.
4. Then add any extra objects that are required and get another working version of the game complete
5. Then work on testing every aspect of the functionality of the game .
6. Then go back and add sounds, improved graphics, instructions, credits and all of the other aspects of the game application.
7. Then work on testing every aspect of the functionality of the game (this becomes a loop, development then testing)
Finally, Be creative!, Impress me, Impress your classmates!, and Have fun with this!
