Lab Specifics

This lab is to be done either individually or in teams of two.

Your task in this lab is to design and write a game:

  1. The game should be something you think is interesting to create and to play.

  2. The game should include some new concepts and/or coding, but may use components of previous work.
    NOTE: If you reuse previous code, be sure to do the following:
    1. include comments in your source code indicating which if any functions or classes you are reusing
    2. include information about what you used from previous code in your write-up.
    Remember, reuse of code is a good thing and highly recommended.

  3. Include a help manual that explains how to play the game. If this is a separate file from either the source code or the writeup, be sure to include your last name as part of the filename.

  4. Have a good time with your game project and enjoy some creative freedom!

Finally, make sure to include a descriptive header as a comment at the top of your source code as follows:
    // Course: CSC 306 Introduction to Programming with C++ 
    // Name: Your Name(s)
    // Lab #9: Put a sentence about what your program does here.
    /* Put what your program does here */

When you have completed your program and have it working to your satisfaction, drop the source code, your Word Lab write-up YourLastName(s)_306L9.doc and your help manual if you have one into the CSC306_L09 dropbox on the Academic server.
