Communication Lab 9
Final Portfolio
The focus of today's session is to work on revising your documents for
Final Document Portfolio.
There is no formal activity for this lab. However, the TAs and Traci will be present
in your Discord channels if you have questions on
how to improve your documents. Remember that this submission is final for the first
three documents. If you are having trouble with your documents, now is time to get help.
If you wish, you can also use the time to talk to TAs about technical issues regarding
your golden master.
This is your time; use it wisely.
Important: This communication workshop will be held during the normal lecture
time of 11:15-12:05. We will not have a normal class meeting this week. Your discussion
sections may be used as additional office hours to get help on either the documents
or your next release.
Documentation
You should spent your time in this lab revising or working on four different documents.
The first three of these must be finalized this week. The fourth is optional
This is the document where you describe the core actions, challenges, and interactions in
your game. It should be updated to reflect the most recent version of your gameplay as of
this assignment. Again, you should read and respond to our comments from the previous two
drafts.
This is the document where you describe the basic architecture of your game. It should
be updated to reflect the most recent version of your software as of this assignment.
It will not be graded for the actual software design decisions; instead the grade will
just reflect your ability to communicate these design decisions. Again, you should read
and respond to our comments from the previous two drafts.
This is the document that describes the visual and auditory design of your game. Typically
these documents are very strong, and many of these documents should be almost done.
Just respond to our most recent comments and you will be fine.
You have not yet had a revision of the level design document. This is your second draft.
You will get one more chance to turn this in at Showcase. If you elect not to revise
the video then your submission at Showcase will be your final grade.
