  1. COMS S1007Object-Oriented Programming and Design in Java July 19, 2007

  2. Changes to the syllabus • Next week: • Java GUIs & Swing (18.1 – 18.4) • Networking (21.1 – 21.5) • And then: • Exceptions (11.1 – 11.6) • Data Structures (15, 16)

  3. Changes to the homeworks • Instead of five homework assignments, we will now only have three • We’ve also added a “final project” • Final grading guidelines have changed: • Homeworks 35% • Final exam 40% • Final project 25%

  4. Final Project • You will design and build an application of your own choosing • Your program should be graphics-based and include at least two of the following: • handling mouse clicks • handling keyboard input (using KeyEvents) • threads • part of the Java API not covered in class • Java GUI components (which we'll cover next week) • networking (also covered next week)

  5. Ideas for Final Project • board games (checkers, Connect Four) • card games (blackjack, solitaire) • dice games (pig, Yahtzee) • “classic” arcade games (Pong, Space Invaders) • simple chat or discussion board • text editor • typing contest game • Programming Projects from textbook • If you have no ideas… ask me or Hila for help!

  6. Things to Consider • You will only have about 10 days to develop the application • You should also allocate time for documentation and the development of testing code for your app • The final project is due the same day as the final exam

  7. First Things First • As part of Homework #3 you must submit a document that includes the following: • a one-paragraph "high-level" description of what your program will do • a listing of the classes you expect to build, their member variables, and their methods • The teaching staff will give you prompt feedback so that you have time to finish it

  8. Important Dates • July 26 • Homework #3 due • Final Project description due • By July 30 • Feedback on Final Project sent out • Aug 7 • Final Project presentations (optional, for extra credit) • Aug 9 • Final Project due • Final exam
