![[Solved] ICT Assignment 1-Pacman](https://assignmentchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/downloadzip.jpg)
The purpose of this assignment is to construct and document a Requirements Specification, Design, and Development Process for a classic computer game Pac-Man. You should apply, as far as possible, the software engineering techniques introduced in this course. You should employ an OO design and demonstrate capability to use advanced design patterns and tactics in your project. The following problem statement is provided. The assignment is to be conducted in groups with no more than four students in one group.
Problem Definition
Pac-Man is a classic maze action game developed and released by Namco in 1980. Please study the Wikipedia page of Pac-Man Wikipedia for the detailed introduction of this game. You are asked to reproduce this game for computers of different platforms. All important features in the original game should be included in your design and development (please check the marking criteria for important features must be implemented in your game).
Apart from the requirements from the original game, your program should have a start up page, the start up page should contain:
- The title and logo of Pac-Man
- The year and course code
- The list of all students in your group
- An exit button
- A configure button. In the configure page, a player can select normal predefined maze and randomly generated mazes.
- A play button to take the player to the game
Guidance
The emphasis of the assignment is upon the use of best software engineering practices to produce high quality software products. The assignment has two stage submissions with 15% weight each in the final grade.
- At the outset of the assignment you should create a plan which documents in tabular form, when you expect to complete each phase of the development process. This should include the time/date when you expect to complete the development, verification and correction of the product produced in each phase. You should also include the number of person hours that you expect to spend on each activity. Later, when each phase is completed you should record the actual time taken and when the task was completed. There should also be documentation which shows which team members were responsible for each task

MARKING SCHEME Second stage submission
Project Planning and Documentation =
| Task | Task description | Marks |
| Projection plan | Based on the template to create a project plan1. Project plan is reasonable and complete.2. The actual working hours are recorded fully.3. The effort and contribution table is complete with justification (if needed) | |

| MVCarchitecture design pattern | You need to apply MVC architectural design pattern in your game. You need to1. Briefly explain MVC2. Use design diagrams (part of a class diagram and or sequence diagrams) to explain how MVC implied in your design.3. Use relevant source code to show how MVC has been applied in implementation.4. Make sure the design diagrams and the source code are matching each other. | |
| Two other design patterns | You need to demonstrate that youve applied two design patterns (not including architectural design patterns such as MVC and three tiers) in your game. For each design pattern, you need:1. Explain what design pattern has been applied and why to use it.2. Use design diagrams to demonstrate your design3. Use relevant source code to demonstrate your implementation 4. Make sure the code and the diagram are matching each other. | |

| Use relevant design diagram and source code to demonstrate that you have successfully applied a random maze generation algorithm in your game | ||
| Path search algorithms | Study the Wikipedia page (A* search algorithm Wikipedia) and(Maze-solving algorithm Wikipedia) to design two different monsterAI. One is dummy, that may use random search and the other one should be smarter. You need to show relevant design diagrams and souse code to demonstrate that youve applied at least two algorithms. |
Testing =
| Task | Task description | Marks |
| Software test description | Based on the STD template, produce a software test description.1. You will not create a separate document, just put relevant information in the single report.2. You might remove some irrelevant items from the STD template.3. Test cases must cover all use cases | |
| Software test report | Based on the STR template, produce a software test report.1. You will not create a separate document, just put relevant information in the single report.2. You might remove some irrelevant items from the STR template.3. Make sure all the use cases are tested (its fine if some of the test cant passed). |
Reflection =
| Master students need to write one page project reflection, fail to do so or the reflection doesnt make sense could result up to 10 mark deduction. | 0 |
Video marking scheme =
| Task | Task description | Marks |
| Video submission | You are asked to submit a video to demonstrate the execution of the full game. The video should be shorter than 30 seconds, video content beyond 30 seconds will not be assessed.1. The video should be shorter than 30 seconds. | |
| Cross platform | The video demonstrate that the game prototype can execute at least on two different platforms | |
| Configure page | The configure page works | |
| Sound and music | The game has suitable sound effect and music (could be different from original Pac-Man) | |
| Eat dots function | The Pac-man eat dots function is successfully demonstrated. After touch a dot, a dot is disappear and the score increases. | |
| Captured by monster | The Pac-man is killed by a monster function is successfully.1. When the Pac-man is capture by a monster, it will die,2. Another Pac-man will appear, and all monster will go back to base. The dots and power pallet should not recover when a Pac-man is dead.3. If all three Pac-mans are died, the game will be over | |
| Powerpallet function | Power pallet function is implemented as in the original Pac-man game | |
| Win condition | After a Pac-man eats all the dots, the game will display you win, when press a button, game back to start up page. No need to implement next level. | |
| Random maze generator | A random maze generator is successfully implemented. The randomly generate maze should not contain un-reachable spot. You may need to start a new game a few times to show that mazes are definitely randomly generated | |
| Game AI | Demonstrate that some monsters are dummy, just randomly move around and some monsters are smarter, they clearly know what are the good paths to catch the Pac-man |

Individual marking adjustment table (Example)
| Student | Effort Level* (Rating from 0 5, the information is filled by the group) | Contribution Level* (Rating from 0 5, the information is filled by thegroup) | Justification If a student received level rating of 3 or less, your group need to give explanation for the low level rating |
| Smith | 5 | 4 | |
| Anna | 5 | 5 | |
| Mark | 5 | 5 | |
| Joe | 4 | 3 | Joe didnt complete all the tasks assigned to him (he didnt draw the class diagram assigned to him) andMark helped to complete the tasks. |
- *Level ratings, 5 = excellent, 4 = good, 3 = reasonable, 2 = poor, 1 = unacceptable, 0 = none
Individual score is calculated based on the score of the submission and the students effort level and contribution level. Suppose the submission score is S, a students efforts level is e and contribution level is c. The students score is calculated based on the algorithm below:
T = e + c
| T | Student score |
| 7-10 | S x 100% |
| 5-6 | S x 80% |
| 3-4 | S x 40% |
| 1-2 | S x 20% |
| 0 | 0 |
