This page describes the second progress presentation for CISC 864. This project checkpoint consists of two parts: a presentation and a written report.

Report

This report can be viewed as a progress update rather than a full report. Your update should address what has changed since your last report in the following areas:

  • Description of your project. What changes you are making to the game mechanics and gameplay from the point of view of a player.
  • User interface. How your changes will be revealed in the user interface of the game.
  • Art requirements. What art requirements (if any) you have, and what arrangements (if any) you have made with art students to work on that art.
  • Project milestones. How you are breaking up your work into steps, and when you plan to have each step finished.
  • Technology. How your changes will impact the architecture of the game (including supporting diagrams and textual documentation.) What third-party packages you are using and how they work.
  • Interaction with other groups. If your project affects work that other groups are doing, what mechanisms do you have in place to cooperate and to coordinate your changes?
  • Lessons learned.

Presentation

Your presentation is to be 20 minutes in length. Each presentation will receive a 40 minute time slot, including time for 20 minutes of discussion.

All students are to attend all presentations.

Group Statement

Along with your report, provide a brief (1 paragraph) statement of who did what towards the project.

Optionally, you may provide a mark adjustment in your group statement, allowing you to reward member(s) of your group who contributed significantly more to the project than others. E.g., a group consisting of Alice, Bob and Cleo might give a mark adjustment of +3, -2, -1 to each of the three members. If the project received a grade of 85, the assigned grades would then be Alice: 88, Bob: 83, Cleo: 84. If no mark adjustment is provided, all group members will receive the same grade. In cases where groups cannot agree on a mark adjustment, no adjustment will be applied.

The group statement should be signed by all group members to indicate their agreement with its contents.
