Due: Friday May 15, 12:45pm. Turnin is on bblearn and in (zoom) class.
Remember to
put your NAME in a comment at the top of your edits to source code file(s)
and include appropriate comments as if your teammates might have to understand
or modify your work.
- You must demo your final turnin in a 10 minute slot during the final exam
period (Friday May 15, 12:45-2:45). You are expected to participate and give
feedback to the other students during their demos that occur during that time.
- In terms of added functionality, you should implement and demo as many
of the following as you have time to reasonably implement:
- Scale to larger # of users/clients (points for > 2 up to: size of the class)
- Scale to a larger traversible 3D space, more decorations or obstacles
- Scale to a larger number of weapon types with different damage
- Add armor
- Add one or more computer-controlled MONSTERS

Demo Server Considerations
You may demo your stuff off your own hardware and/or your own internet
servers/services. For full credit your turnin must include all related
server code, and a document describing the server infrastructure used.
If your game can be made playable on other people's machines, you should
post a client somewhere and point your classmates (and myself) at your
client with build-and-execute instructions enough ahead of the final
exam period (say, by Wednesday of finals week) that we can download and
try out your client ahead of time prior to the final exam period.
If your server can be made to run on the machine
cs-course61.cs.uidaho.edu, you have
two ports assigned to you that can be accessed by other
class members if they are running the campus VPN. This
should allow you to avoid any complications related to
accessing your server through home firewalls and such.
