Sorry about that... specs are indeed very important... unclear specs are the source of many many evil things :D
Well, as long as people/audience/judges can identify it as a snakes program :D The students are free to build upon the concept of what a snakes program is. They can revolutionize the idea if they want to. The snake program I had in mind is the snakes program in QBASIC/TBASIC called nibbles or the original snake program of the nokia series. Anyway, the usual setup is that it is the students who create and present project proposals to the teacher/professor. In some cases, the teacher asks for certain features to be added to the program. In some thing very basic as college dev projects, students not only get to experience what development is all about, but get a taste what it means to cooperate with other people, track project progress, negotiate with specs, sell an idea to a client(project proposal), talk to a client(teachers), present a demo(project presentation)... basically the student can choose how much experience/knowledge/fun he wants to get from making a dev project. The project can be as boring and as challenging as they want it to be. ----- Original Message ---- From: botp <[email protected]> To: Kagay-Anon Linux Users' Group (KLUG) Mailing List <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2009 1:44:44 PM Subject: Re: [klug] request for estimate for snake program in C On Tue, Sep 15, 2009 at 11:14 PM, Ron Michael Khu <[email protected]> wrote: > .....
