Every day has felt the same lately. You've been in the town for several weeks now. Your accommodations are minimal,
but they suffice. It's a safe place to rest and you've been able to store the gear you've slowly been accumulating.
After being in town for a week, you were taken on as a shopkeeper's assistant. The shopkeep had you frequently running back to the port to transfer goods and this gave you the opportunity to make a few friends that help you with favors. Not long after, you decided to open your own shop. Business has been steady and you're reputation has grown. This morning an individual draped in a cloak enters the shop. The figure seems to browsing in circles, but you then realize they are waiting. Once everyone else has left the store and its just the two of you, the figure approaches you at the counter. "He's noticed you around town. You seem to be able to go where you please and are quite well respected. He could use your help as well. I'd recommend you listen to all that I have to say, you wouldn't want to disappoint him." Wait, disappoint who? "It isn't safe to talk here, too many ears listening. Close shop and follow me." You pause, unsure what to do. Realizing that you were always looking down at the figure, you worry they may be a jarðverger. Not wanting to bring bad luck to your shop, you decide to do as they say. You flip the sign in the window, close the door, and follow. Part I - Create Your Sign
After twisting through the narrow streets, the cloaked figure stops. There's a pile of lumber and other supplies tossed about.
"It's time to prove yourself. Eiríkur will call for you when he's ready." Who? "I was able to salvage what I could from the port for you to use as a starting point. Sorry about the odd sizes, but you should be able to assemble a 700 þumlungur by 150 þumlungur banner to advertise your shop. You must follow the instructions. Begin accepting trades for your goods. He'll be watching. When you've acquired the set of items he needs, I shall return." A hand then extends holding a scroll. You take it. You unroll it but it's in a language not native to your region. Sensing your puzzlement the figure says "You must begin at once. I will translate for you." For this assignment, create an OpenGL / GLFW program that displays your hero's name and a crest of your choosing to represent your home town. It is recommended to use a clean version of Lab00B (Lab00BEngine.hpp & Lab00BEngine.cpp) as a starting point. Rename them to beWith very little to go on, you step back and admire your work. Not too bad. Hopefully he will be pleased. Despite the mystery of what is coming, you begin to have a feeling of optimism. This all may work out. Part II - Create Your Website
In addition to making a sign, create a webpage that showcases your
work. There is a template available for your website. If you wish to
use it, download this .zip
file and extract it. It will create a www/ directory with the
stylesheet from the course webpage, which you can use if you like.
You'll be adding to it for each homework assignment, with a screenshot
or screenshots of your work, a short description of the assignment, and
the opportunity to talk about any neat implementation details if you so
choose. The websites are a way for you to keep track of the projects
you've made over the course of the semester, but you should also aim to
make the descriptions accessible to people outside of the course as a
way to share and showcase your coursework. Hopefully you can use this
as a portfolio along with your resumé.
Inside the www/ directory, there is an images/ folder. Place any screenshots and other images into this folder. If you're not familiar with HTML, don't worry; the template shouldn't do anything crazy - a <br> signifies a newline, the <img> tag places an image. There are plenty of tutorials available for HTML if you want to add tables, change font styles, or play with the formatting. There are some comments in the template file to help you out as well. Whether you choose to use the template or your own template, be sure to name the webpage <HeroName>.html
where <HeroName> is the name of your hero without spaces in
UpperCamelCase. (For example, my submission would look like
ElvishScout.html
.) If you have a question about what you should name your file, please
ask the instructor and he will confirm how your name should look.
Documentation
With this and all future assignments, you are expeced to appropriately
document your code. This includes writing comments in your source code
- remember that your comments should explain what a piece of code is
supposed to do and why; don't just re-write what the code says in plain
English. Comments serve the dual purpose of explaining your code to
someone unfamiliar with it and assisting in debugging. If you know what
a piece of code is supposed to be doing, you can figure out where it's
going awry more easily. (Interestingly enough, this code review of Doom 3's source code says the
exact opposite - well written code should require no comments. Well, we
don't work at id so we're going to comment.)
Proper documentation also means including a README.txt
file with your submission. In your submission folder, always include a
file called
README.txt
that lists:
Grading Rubric
Your submission will be graded according to the following rubric.
Experience Gained & Available Achievements
Submission
Please update your compilation so it produces an executable with
the name a1 and contains a class named A1Engine. When you are completed with the assignment, zip
together your source code, CMakeLists.txt, and
README.txt
into a folder named src/ plus include your www/ folder. Name the zip
file,
HeroName_A1.zip
. Upload this file to Canvas under A1. The structure of your submission
should look as follows:
