CS 121: Prototype/Code Submissions



Throughout the semester you'll deliver executable code for grading. Sometimes this executable code will be run and critiqued by our middle school teachers and students. Your submission should adhere to these guidelines:
  1. Your submission should be in the form of a zipped folder named teamName_mm_dd_yy.zip (team name followed by due date) that includes all resources needed for execution. Important note:
    1. You cannot rely on any pre-installed libraries.
    2. You cannot require an administrative account to install your software.
  2. The top level of your zipped folder should include a text file called install.txt that describes how to install/run your executable. Note:
    1. Don't make the user navigate deep into a directory structure to find the executable.
    2. Name folders and files (specifically ones the user will have to navigation/use) meaningful names.
  3. If your executable is not entirely self-explanatory (e.g. small prototype with a tutorial), include instructions for a sample walk through. This is important so that the graders can evaluate the functionality of your submission. And it is very important for the middle school teachers who typically are not gamers and may not know interface conventions or even feel comfortable exploring software.
  4. Trac limits the size of attachments so you should use our dropbox account for all submissions. You should email mike for permission.
