COAP:COAP-2110/term project

Term project

Kinds of projects

The term project could take several forms, e.g.

• A splash page
• A multimedia presentation (audio, pictures, movie clips etc.)
• An educational animation (explaining a concept)
• An animated comic strip
• A sophisticated animated logo
• Part of a game (difficult)

There is no obligation to use all techniques learnt so far.

Working in groups

You can work in groups of 2 or max. 3. However, in that case, the volume of the application must be double or triple.

Advise: You will be evaluated as a group, so make sure to work with someone you can trust.

Submission date and format

• To be returned by Monday, at start of week 8 lesson
• Use the a Flash file name like project_name familyname-familyname.fla, e.g.

comicstrip-miller-mayer.fla

• Also upload the 1-page documentation file (see below)

Projects must be shortly presented in the last week (no powerpoints, just a demo + discussion)

Constraints and major evaluation criteria

(1) Formulate clear objectives and make sure to meet these contraints

• Aesthetics
• Usability
• Good code

(2) You may reuse 1/3 of imported artwork as is, 1/3 imported and modified. 1/3 must be drawn by yourself, but the latter can just be "easy" elements.

(3) You can reuse prior homework in any way you like. I.e. one option is to improve a single prior homework.

Elements that must be included

• A button that leads to a credits page and that includes the names of all participants.
• A 1-page report (as Word, PDF or HTML File) handed in separately. Use the same kind of structure as in the homework template, but make it a bit longer and better than for a typical homework.

Advice

• Make it a reasonable project
• Typically, for an individual, it should not exceed three times the length of a typical homework project.
• Focus on quality.
