OOPS Assessment 1

Assessment 1: Top Down Design

Top Down Design

Students are organised into pairs to work throughout this course, so this report mark will be shared between participants. In this assignment task, students are asked to prepare on paper a design for a game that they will complete later in the program. (This task should not be set until students have developed some familiarity with Klik and play) Students are assessed on their understanding of the basic concepts of Top Down Design (TDD) and their ability to show practical implementation of the skills involved by developing a practical design for an oop game using KNP.

Report Format

Give the name of your game and a description of its purpose.
Provide a list of the rules you expect to apply to your game.
List the steps that are necessary in your game.
Specify the number of frames you need to make to achieve this.
Provide an explanation of what each frame does.
Explain the division of labour / or roles (if any) that you expect to take to complete you project.
