| Appearance and whitespace | 2 | ||
| Consistency of formatting | 2 | ||
| Followings principles of good interaction design (ease of use, reasonable error handling) | 2 | ||
| Program is written using static functions (save main): Divide program functionality marks by 21 | |||
| Program consists of only a single class: Divide program functionality marks by 21 | |||
| Methods are implemented to handle one clearly defined task | 3 | ||

1 These two penalties are cumulative so if a program was written using only one class that was full of static methods then the student's program functionality mark would quartered.

| Creates a rectangular frame with an appropriate title and black background | 2 | ||
| The contain holds 4 buttons each with a different color | 4 | ||
| Each button takes up slightly less than ¼ of the frame (see Figure 1) | 1 | ||
| Two buttons are on one row, two buttons are on the second row | 1 | ||
| A layout manager is used to layout the buttons as described in the previous step (as opposed to manually laying the controls out using (x, y) pixel coordinates | 1 | ||

| Window can close and shut down the game (half marks if signoff message in the title bar sis excluded or not time-delayed) | 2 | ||||
| Lights up a random sequence of 4 buttons | 4 | ||||
| The player can try to duplicate the random sequence of pressed buttons and the sequence entered by the player is stored | 4 | ||||
| The game checks if the randomly generated sequence matches the one entered by the player (your marker must be shown that the check is correct e.g., a message is displayed to the standard output). | 4 | ||||
| The game status is show in the title bar at the end of a tur: correct/game won or incorrect/game lost | 2 | ||||
| The player can specify at the command line the length of the sequence (the number of buttons that will be lit up) | 2 | ||||
| The program displays debugging messages to the standard output (toggling not required for this program) | 1 | ||||
