Grading Rubric

Here is the grading rubric for this assignment.

Tasks

1. In Eclipse, checkout the GameOfLife project from your shared repository for this project:

   • This is a shared repository where you’ll work on Game of Life with your partner.
   • The URL for your shared repository is:

         http://svn.csse.rose-hulman.edu/repos/csse220-201610-gameoflifeXX
     

     where XX is your team number as given by your instructor.
   • Note: Now that you’re working with a partner, you can get hard-to-resolve SVN conflicts with your partner’s code. So please remember to do Team → Update to HEAD... for the project
     • when you first start working in Eclipse, and
     • whenever you are about to commit.

     If you and your partner always work together doing pair programming, then SVN conflicts should not be a problem. (If you do get stuck with one, start by going to the main course webpage and following the link to "Resolving Subversion Conflicts" Ask for help if you are still stuck.)

2. Complete the TODO items in GameOfLife and GameOfLifeTest. The TODO items are numbered in the order that you should complete them.
3. Try some different initial configurations. The method getGliderList() in GameOfLifeMain generates a list representing the classic glider formation.
4. Make sure that:
   • Both team members understand all the code the team is turning in.
   • All methods are documented.
   • All TODO items are completed.
   • No errors or warnings remain.
   • To receive full credit for this assignment: the grid MUST wrap around. That is, for M rows and N columns:
     • The neighboring row for row 0 is row M-1 for M rows (and vice-versa).
     • The neighboring column for column 0 is column N-1 for N columns (and vice-versa).
     As shown below, the blue cells are neighbors with one another across rows and columns. And the neighbors for the three different red cells are each shown in green respectively.
