Prototype 2 / Specification 3

Last modified: Nov 10, 4:05 pm

Notes: Proto 2 is due 6:00 pm Weds, Nov 22. Spec 3 is due 6:00 pm Mon, Nov 27. You must include source code in the JAR file.

The specification for the next iteration of the project should contain the same information as Specification 1.

The frozen prototype should include:

  • Text description. This should be a modified version of the text description from the specification that describes the iteration "as built" (rather than "as designed") with reference to the static screen shots.
  • Static screen shots. It is usually convenient to capture these using ALT-PrintScreen on a Windows computer and then to use paste to place them on blank powerpoint slides. Other techniques, such as using a screen capture utility to produce GIF or JPEG images are equally acceptable.
  • Evaluation results. This should be a brief description of the evaluation that you performed and what you learned from that evaluation.
  • The Java source code for the iteration, as a jar file. A README that that explains how it should be run should be included. Include the source code. For any libraries that you used (other than Swing), document where you downloaded them from.
The frozen prototype and the specification for the next iteration should be turned in by creating a Web page that links to each required item, linking to that page from your project Web page, and then sending the professor an email stating that it is there before the beginning of class on the date that it is due. No changes may be made to the page for the specification or to anything linked from that page after that email is sent.
