Final Design Project
 Design and implement an extensible Board Game Server
 With a team of 8 or 9
 The effort should be spread out across multiple subteams, with
each subteam responsible for the design and implementation of
its part
 Everyone, of course, is responsible for the overall design and
implementation

Requirements
 The Board Game Server should accommodate any board game that
involves a grid layout and game elements on this layout, including
such games as Chess, Checkers, Connect Four, Nine Men’s Morris,
Chutes and Ladders, Stratego, Shogi, Pente, …
 The Board Game Server should make it as easy as possible to
create plug-ins that implement new games
 The Board Game Server should be client-server, not Web based
 The Board Game Server should provide one or more ways for
people to find other players
 The Board Game Server should support personal player profiles

Deliverables
 Board Game Server itself, both its reusable client (if that is part of
your architecture) and its reusable server
 Three or more games from the list on the previous slide as plug-ins
to the architecture
 Documentation
 Instructions for running the games

Reuse
 Cannot pick up an existing game server implementation (sorry
)
 For other major components, double check with Mitch and
André

Final Design Project
 March 18
 final design and retrospective on design presentation (max 15
minutes per team)
 final demo (max 15 minutes per team)

Grading Criteria
 Stakeholder: the player
 how is the experience of playing a game, and of plugging in a
new game (who does that, anyway)?
 Stakeholder: future developers of the Board Game Server
 how is the understandability and quality of the code?
 Stakeholder: game developers
 how is the extensibility of the Board Game Server in supporting
new board games?
 Stakeholder: you
 what are your contributions to the code?

Miscellaneous
 Use Subversion (this is good practice, but we will also use it to
verify who wrote which code – check in your own code!)
 Use Lighthouse (instructions to follow shortly)
