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
- The project must be demoed on Monday, week 8.
- upload
- Final version is due Friday, week 8 at noon !
- Use 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)
Remember that projects must be shortly presented on Monday, 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.
