• A structure diagram

• Code snippets

What do the orange boxes on this structure diagram represent?

• Processes/subroutines or object actions

• Game screens

• Main modules or game objects

• Key interface screens the user will see

What do the green boxes on this structure diagram represent?

• Processes/subroutines or object actions

• Game screens

• Main modules or game objects

• Key interface screens the user will see

What do the blue boxes on this structure diagram represent?

• Processes/subroutines or object actions

• Game screens

• Main modules or game objects

• Key interface screens the user will see

What is an algorithm?

• a program run by a computer

• a description of actions written in a way that makes it easy to convert to real code

• a logical sequence of actions of a process

• a language independent way of expressing a solution to a problem

What is pseudocode?

• a program run by a computer

• a language independent way of expressing a solution to a problem

• a logical sequence of actions of a process

Does pseudocode need to be justified?

• No

• Only if you want to get an A grade

• It's optional

How can you show the user interface for your project/game?

• draw screen designs

• describe each interface in detail

• take screenshots of the user interface once they have been built

Which of these is essential for you to reach the top mark band in the design section?

• Detailed explanations

• A range of test data identified

• Justification of your choices

• Word count over 1000 words

How many marks is the design section worth?

• 12

• 10
