PROGRAM FUNCTIONALITY2

    
  Actual mark Max
Displays intro   1

Tie can be determined   2
Win can be determined   2
Loss can be determined   2

Shows track one screen at a time   2
Shows each runner's status (mode, distance, state)   6
Weather: affects distance traveled   4
Weather: temperature can increase chance of getting winded (run and sprint)   6
Weather: temperature can increase chance to permanantly burn out runner (sprint)   3
Runners can be distracted if running or sprinting   4
Running speed of competitor 'P' can be chosen by player (program checks for physical tiring and mental distraction)   6
Running speed of competitor 'C' is randomly chosen (program checks for physical tiring and mental distraction)   6
Debug mode implemented   4
Program displays output graphically instead of using text   6
Program has audio effects   4

TOTAL RAW SCORE FOR ASSIGNMENT

   109

1 May be awarded independently of program functionality (i.e., when the program won't run).

2 These marks will only be awarded if the correctness of implementation can be determined as the program is running.

 

DESIGN REQUIREMENTS (may modify the raw score)

Item

Effect on grade
Uses static methods (other than the main method) Divide functionality marks by two1
Program consists of only a single class: Divide functionality marks by two1
Functionality not assigned to the appropriate class as specified in the assignment description Max loss of 8 marks (tallied after the above two modifiers, if applicable)

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