[Solved] Assignment 02: Parable Of The Polygons

• This project is based on a playable post by Vi Hart and Nicky Case called Parable of the Polygons, illustrating the effects of bias on population segregation.
• The goal of this project is to get some practice with multiple file projects, pointers, and (above all) beginning to intermediate level classes.

This project may take a lot of time. Please plan accordingly. Also, this project may contain wording you are not yet used to. Please be patient while working out what it means, as feel free to ask me if you need help.

Any functions that are not necessary for these tests to run may be stubbed out that is, filled in just enough for the program to compile and run, without being fully implemented.

Weeks 2 and 3

Fill in the TODOs (to-dos) in neighborhood.cpp, and any remaining uncompleted code in buffer.cpp and shape.cpp, so that the code

in main.cpp runs and produces the output shown in demo.mp4.

Requests

• Please try to do this in groups, and try to use Google, etc., only for answers to questions about the language (as opposed to questions about this problem).
• If you have time, you might want to rewrite your solution from scratch, referencing your first solution (or mine, if you wish) as little as possible (but as much as necessary). I would recommend doing this not only if you have time before the next assignment, but also if youre able to complete the next assignment early.

Assumptions

• A terminal window is 80 columns wide by 25 lines high.

Style

• Place your solution in a solution--YOURNAME subdirectory (where YOURNAME is your GitHub username).
• Include your copyright and license information at the top of every file, followed by a brief description of the files contents, e.g.
• Use include guards in all .h files. Be sure to give the preprocessor variable a name corresponding to the file name. For example, in point.h:
• main() must have its own .cpp file. I suggest calling it main.cpp.
• Classes must have both .h and .cpp files, with member functions defined in the .cpp files unless they are truly trivial. If it makes sense, you may put multiple classes into one pair of .h and .cpp files.
• Declare member functions and function arguments as const when appropriate (in general, whenever possible).
• Document and format your code well and consistently. Be sure to clearly document the source of any code, algorithm, information, etc. that you use or reference while completing your work.
• Wrap lines at 79 or 80 columns whenever possible.
• End your file with a blank line.
• Do not use using namespace std;. You may get around typing std:: in front of things or with, e.g., using std::cout;.
