CMP 164 -- Spring 2009

CMP 164 -- Assignment 3

Due date:
Wednesday, noon, 6/10/09

Objectives:

Write a game using your peer's game engine. Also, evaluate your peer's game engine.

To Do:

Implement the game you described in the beginning of the quarter.
Selection of which game engine to use will be your choice, to a certain extent.
- You cannot use the game engine that your group built.
- We also need to have sufficient number of users/testers for each engine -- 5 to 6 per engine.

Presentation:

This will be during the scheduled final exam on June 10, from noon - 3pm. Expect about 8-10 minutes per game. Because of the limited time, focus on (i) your game functionality, and (ii) brief discussion/feedback on the engine that you used.

Items To Submit:

Html page with descriptions of your game project. Also include comments/reviews about the game engine that you used -- specifically, a rating of the engine.
For your game project, be sure to include source code, images/animations, and documentations accessible from the web page. Identify which of your images is to be used as the thumbnail for your project -- name the image thumbnail.jpg . Make sure your links are all local and relative to your submit directory. Relevant materials must be accessible from the html page.
For rating the game engine that you used, use the letter grade system: A+ to F.

Grading:

Evaluation will depend on the quality of the game project: presentation and html writeup.

Submission:

Create and submit a folder called "ass3". It must contain the file "ass3.html", "thumbnail.jpg", and other associated files. Zip it up and submit as follows (from unix.ic.ucsc.edu):
