Description
|
 The idea of the assignment is that you write
a simple game in JavaScript. You can use an existing game, such as
Mastermind or Tic-tac-toe, but you may also come up with your own game
idea. The goal of the assignment is to familiarize yourself with
JavaScript in a web-browser environment. We do not expect you to turn in a
JavaScript implementation of Doom, so keep it simple.
Grading of
the assignment will be based on both coding quality and creativity in the
implementation of your game (not so much on how it looks).
|
Requirements
|
- Your game must show a minimal level of JavaScript sophistication and
must contain graphic elements. Simple games are allowed. When in doubt, check with the lab
assistant.
- The result of your work must be demonstrated to the lab assistant.
You must also hand in the JavaScript source code, and all other files that
your solution requires (e.g. HTML code, css files, image files, etc).
All source code (also HTML) must be clearly structured and readable for
humans. Beware of this when you use a WYSIWYG editor for making HTML
documents, for example, because they will destroy the layout of HTML
code.
- If you wish to use other supportive
technologies, such as Java applets, they must serve a supportive role
only. This may be necessary to achieve certain visual effects for
example. Be aware that the assignment is to learn JavaScript, and treat
it as such.
- The result of your work need not work
in all available web-browsers. Do mention in which browser you have
tested the code, and which version it is. You can use Netscape Navigator
version 4 or higher, or Internet Explorer version 5 or higher.

it is necessary to work with three, consult with the lab assistant

- Upon handing in your work the lab assistant will ask you to give a verbal explanation of your code. Our
satisfaction with your explanation may affect the grading.
