Project Turnin Procedures

You do not need to submit a detailed description of everything  you did for the project. You do need to submit:

  1. Binary, a copy of which should sit right in the
    \\gfilesrv1\courses\cse457-03au\trace\username-username\turnin\
    directory, using the project partners' usernames (Like 'jones-smith'.)


  2. Source code, in a subdirectory of the turnin directory.


  3. Optionally, extra files needed by the binary, again right in the
    \\gfilesrv1\courses\cse457-03au\trace\username-username\turnin\
    directory.


  4. A readme.{txt, doc} that lists, succinctly, which bells and whistles you did. If you did something that is out of the ordinary (e.g., a feature not listed among the bells and whistles and/or a feature whose operation/use may not be completely self-evident), then you should document it here. Also, if you did your development under Linux, please note that as well.


  5. Artifact, a JPEG copy should be placed in the
    \\gfilesrv1\courses\cse457-03au\trace\username-username\artifact\
    directory. For creating JPEG's from BMP go here.

The grading will consist of a staff member watching you demo your project right out of the turnin directory. You will demo each feature of your program. We will consult source code as needed. You will not be able to change your code after the demo.

***IMPORTANT NOTICE***

If you are working in the lab remember to turn on Nimby. The Animation class uses our computers as part of their render farm. Click the "Eject jobs NOW" button to remove your computer from the farm.
