Visual Basic Game Program Specs
Design and write a program that allows the user to play an entertaining game. You can write a "classic" game such as Space Invaders, Pacman, Hangman, TicTacToe, Rock/Paper/Scissors, Mario or one of your own design. The game must not contain graphic violence (decapitation, blood, etc.) or inappropriate references or student names. See Mr. Minich before you write the code if you have any questions. Your grade will be reduced if he deems anything inappropriate. Ultimately it does not matter how cool your game is or how interesting it is. Your project will be graded with this GRADING RUBRIC.
You must first submit a typed PROPOSAL of your program in paragraph form. The proposal must explain how your program will work. You must staple a drawn interface of the main screen to this proposal. Mr. Minich will keep this proposal on file and match it with your final program. If your final program does not match this proposal, you will lose points.
Your completed project must be saved to a folder named JohnDoeGame2011TicTacToe (substituting your name for "JohnDoe" and the name of your game for "TicTacToe"). All associated graphic, audio, or text files must be included in the project's Bin/Debug folder with no other extraneous, unused graphic, audio, or text files stored there.
You may view examples of VB games and programs at sites like vbcode.com,
vbgames.com, and www.planet-source-code.com/vb.
However, your final program must be your own work. Do not plagiarize significant
amounts of code or
algorithms from those sites. You must abide by any associated "Terms and
Conditions". If you do use any techniques or short code segments from
other sources, you must include citations and web page addresses in your
documentation.
You must turn in the code and an attractive, colorful user manual. You must have a fellow VB student fill out a copy of the grading rubric & you must have your program beta-tested by a 7th or 8th grader.
This game program assignment can be used to satisfy the School District's graduation project requirement. If you want to count your project as your graduation project, include a copy of the necessary form with your project.
